Dukaan POS
1Billing fast on small tickets
Most sales are three or four items. Search by name or tap a product from your favourites, change the quantity, and take cash. A drink, two snacks and a packet of gum is a ten-second bill. When a customer pays with a Rs 1,000 note, the screen shows the change to give back so the cashier does not work it out in a hurry.
Bills across the day

2Watching the fast movers
Cold drinks, bread, milk and snacks vanish quickly. Set a minimum for each, and the low-stock list tells you what to reorder before the evening rush. Because drinks are bought by the crate or carton and sold by the bottle, a package on each product keeps the count right when a new crate arrives.
Without a system
- Hurried arithmetic
- Fast sellers run out
- Bread and milk wasted
With Dukaan POS
- Change shown on screen
- Minimums on fast items
- Expiry warnings
3Short-life goods
Bread, milk, yoghurt and baked snacks do not last. Switch on expiry tracking for them, enter the date when you receive them, and the app warns you as the date approaches. If something has to be thrown away, write it off so the loss shows in the profit report instead of silently disappearing.
🧮 When should I reorder?
Reorder point = daily sales x delivery days + a safety buffer.
4Regulars on khata
Even a small shop has a few neighbours who pay at month end. Give each a customer page, record what they take and what they pay, and the balance is always ready. It replaces the notebook by the till and removes the awkward guessing at the end of the month.
5Evening cash count
With constant small payments, the drawer can drift. At closing, count it and enter the figure; the app compares it with the book and records whether it matches, is short or over. After a week you will see whether it is an occasional slip or a pattern worth investigating.
6Opening and closing routines
A short routine keeps a busy shop tidy. In the morning, check the low-stock list and note what the delivery driver must bring, then confirm the drawer's opening cash. At closing, look at the day's sales total, count the cash and compare it with the book, and glance at the items flagged for expiry. The whole routine takes about ten minutes and gives you a clean start every day.
7Staff on different shifts
Convenience stores often run two or three shifts. Give each cashier a login so sales carry the right name, and let the evening staff see only what they need. Because every sale is recorded against a person, a difference at closing can be traced to a shift, not argued about. The owner can still check the day from a phone without standing behind the counter.
