About the Subway Receipt
A Subway receipt documents a sandwich shop order, listing each menu item, any add-ons or meal upgrades, subtotal, applicable sales tax, and total charged. Customers recreate Subway receipts most often for expense reimbursement, to verify a charge on a credit card statement, or to replace a lost paper receipt from a catered team lunch or business meal.

Using a Subway Receipt
- Subway does not accept returns on food, but a receipt is the primary proof needed when disputing an incorrect order or charge with the store manager.
- If you were overcharged or received the wrong item, bring your receipt to the location or contact Subway customer support at subway.com with the store number and transaction details.
- For corporate or catered orders billed to a business account, a receipt or order confirmation is typically required for expense reporting.
- Digital receipts are available through the Subway app if the purchase was made on an account-linked order; paper receipts are issued at the counter for walk-in orders.
FAQs
Can I get a duplicate Subway receipt if I lost the original?
If you ordered through the Subway app or website, you can find past orders and receipts in your account history. For in-store purchases, contact the specific location directly with the date and approximate time of your visit — some franchise locations can reprint from their POS system.
What information do I need to recreate a Subway receipt for expense reimbursement?
You need the store address, date and time of purchase, itemized list of what was ordered with individual prices, any discounts applied, sales tax amount, and the payment total. The store's phone number is also commonly required by employers.
Does a Subway receipt show the individual toppings or customizations?
Standard printed receipts typically show the sandwich type and size but not every individual topping. Customization details are more likely to appear on app-based digital receipts or kiosk orders where each modification is logged.
How do I find the store number on a Subway receipt?
The store number is usually printed in the header section near the store address, or at the bottom of the receipt near the transaction ID. It may be labeled as Store #, Location #, or similar depending on the franchise's POS system.
