Some duplicate receipts aren’t always usable for business tax uses.

I think that’s an invoice, and the receipt is what you (can) get after paying.

My guess would be probably they didn’t license their POS software or got some dodgy guy to set it up.

I am sure someone else can explain it better, but as far as I remember it means that the restaurant did not register the receipt in their systems, so there is no evidence on their side that this transaction has occurred. This can mean that the owner will not report this and thus no taxes can be paid. To you it just means that you did bought something without getting a receipt. The only negative effect would be if you wanted to deduct this as an expense it won’t be accepted as proof of payment.

A restaurant owner told me once that all receipts are collected (I guess digitally) and reported to the government for tax purposes. Like a mandatory thing. I’m guessing the reporting or collecting did not happen for this one.
