Restaurant tax invoice template: the mandatory fields
A restaurant's tax invoice isn't a free-form slip — it has fixed mandatory fields, and a JoFotara invoice adds a QR code and an official identifier on top. Here is the full layout, field by field.
The mandatory fields on any restaurant invoice
- The business name and its tax number, exactly as officially registered with no spelling differences.
- A unique, sequential invoice number that never repeats or skips.
- The invoice's issue date and time.
- A line for each item: name, quantity, unit price, and the line's total value.
- The subtotal before tax, the tax amount, and any service charge or discount shown separately and clearly.
- The final total including tax.
What a JoFotara invoice adds specifically
On top of the fields above, a JoFotara invoice carries an official QR code linking back to the e-invoicing platform, and a unique identifier (UUID) for the invoice within the national system. This code lets anyone (customer or auditor) verify the invoice's authenticity straight from the QR code.
An example invoice layout
Here is a simplified layout showing how the fields are ordered on a standard 80mm thermal receipt:
| Field | Example |
|---|---|
| Business name & tax number | Original Jordan Restaurant — Tax# 123456789 |
| Invoice # / date | INV-2026-004512 — 2026-09-14 20:31 |
| Line items | Small Mansaf ×2 — 8.000 | Juice ×3 — 3.000 |
| Subtotal before tax | JOD 11.000 |
| Tax (16%) | JOD 1.760 |
| Total | JOD 12.760 |
| Official QR code + identifier | Printed automatically at the bottom |
The numbers and tax rate here are illustrative only, to explain the layout — confirm the actual rate and required fields from an official source.
How a POS prints this automatically
A POS connected to JoFotara fills in all these fields itself from the sale's own data — no manual entry of any number. The moment the invoice is approved, the receipt prints with every field, and the official QR code is attached as soon as the platform responds.

Must a QR code be printed on every invoice?
A JoFotara invoice carries an official QR code once accepted by the platform — confirm the exact requirement for your case from an official source.
Can a manual invoice be issued instead of automatic printing?
Technically yes, but it loses JoFotara's automatic-submission benefit and raises the risk of human error — better to rely on a system that prints every field automatically.
Is the receipt printed at the POS the same as the official invoice?
Yes, if the system is genuinely connected to JoFotara — the printed receipt reflects the same data submitted to the platform.
