Dukaan POS
Dukaan POS has no recipes, ingredient stock or production planning. It tracks the finished items you sell, so you enter what the kitchen produced as stock. It suits the retail counter of a bakery, not the kitchen behind it.
1Fast counter billing
Most bills are three or four items. Search or tap, set the quantity, take payment. Bread by the piece, cookies by the kilogram and pastries by the dozen all work in the same bill, and change is shown on screen when the queue is long.

2Recording what the kitchen made
Each morning, add the finished items as stock, either as a purchase at cost or as an adjustment. As items sell, stock falls, so by afternoon you can see how many cakes remain. It is a small daily step that makes waste visible.
A good fit
- Counter billing
- Daily waste
- Cake advances
Not a fit
- Recipe costing
- Ingredient stock
- Production planning
3Waste at the end of the day
At closing, record unsold items as damage or expiry write-off. They leave stock and appear as a loss in the net profit report. After a month, the figure shows which products you bake too many of, and you can adjust the morning's quantities.
🧮 Profit and margin calculator
Margin is profit as a share of the selling price. Markup is profit as a share of cost.
4Cake orders with advances
Custom cakes are ordered days ahead with an advance. Record the sale with the advance paid and keep the balance on the customer's page; take the rest at pickup. The record shows what was agreed, but design details are kept in your own notes.
5Pricing and costs
Because the app does not cost recipes, you enter the cost of each item yourself, based on your own calculation. The profit report then uses that cost. Review it when flour, sugar or ghee prices move.
6Regular and trade customers
Hotels, cafés and offices may order daily and pay monthly. Give them wholesale prices and a khata, and their month's bills are one list at settlement.
7A worked example
The kitchen produces 40 cakes, 120 pastries and 30 kg of cookies. You enter them as stock at your cost. By 6pm, 31 cakes, 98 pastries and 24 kg of cookies have sold; the rest is written off as waste at closing. The month's report shows the cost of waste, and you cut the next morning's batch of cakes by five.
8Morning and closing routines
A bakery routine takes five minutes at each end of the day. In the morning, enter what was baked, then check the prices. At closing, write off what is left and count the drawer. These two small tasks give you daily waste and cash figures that most small bakeries never see.
9What to test in the free trial
Enter ten products, add a morning batch as stock and bill some mock sales at the counter speed you need. At the end, write off the leftovers and read the profit report. If the daily waste figure and the quick counter are what you wanted, the app fits; if you wanted recipe costing, it will not.
