Guest Checks

Guest Checks FAQ

• Are numbered guest checks important for cash control?

  Yes. Numbered guest checks support tracking and auditing by making it easier to reconcile missing checks, verify voids, and review server activity during shift closeout.

• How do I know what guest check size to buy?

  Match the size to your current pads or to the check presenters and apron pockets your staff uses. If you are replacing an existing check, confirm the pad dimensions and whether it is 1-part, 2-part, or 3-part before ordering in bulk.

• Is it better to buy guest checks by the case?

  For most restaurants, buying by the case lowers cost per check and reduces emergency reorders. It also helps standardize the same format across stations and shifts.

• Should I choose carbonless guest checks for my restaurant?

  Carbonless guest checks are a common choice for busy operations because they reduce smudging and keep copies cleaner. They are especially helpful when checks are handled in kitchens or near heat and moisture.

• What is the difference between duplicate and triplicate guest checks?

  Duplicate guest checks create two copies (typically one for the kitchen and one for the server/cashier). Triplicate checks create three copies, which can be useful when the bar, kitchen, and cashier each need a separate copy for control and reconciliation.
