You can use Minute Menu software to track mileage and hours worked. You shouldn't use it as a substitute for business receipts. Also, you do not need to keep odometer readings. Since you are already writing down mileage on notepaper I'd advise saving the note paper because it might help if audited. For tracking mileage your Minute Menu records should be adequate for places you went where you didn't spend any money. But you should save receipts and other records (calendar notations) for places you go where you did spend money. This can help support your claim.

As a general rule you need to be keeping "adequate records" to track your business expenses. A receipt is the best type of record. So, don't throw away a receipt after entering it into Minute Menu.
