Run a kirana store on Finocket

Scan the packet or weigh it loose, bill it in the same breath, keep every regular's udhaar on a credit limit, and reorder before the shelf is empty - on a phone, in Hindi if you like.

Scan the packet or weigh it loose, bill it in the same breath, keep every regular's udhaar on a credit limit, and reorder before the shelf is empty - on a phone, in Hindi if you like.

What you set up

Kirana & grocery retail businesses run on the Growth plan, which turns on 27 modules:

Turn any of these off if you don't need them - see setting Finocket up for your trade for the two decisions worth getting right on day one.

What you'll do day to day

Scan, weigh, bill

Signed in as a staff member, open /pos. Scan Aashirvaad atta, add 2 kg of loose toor dal sold by the kg, take UPI, share the receipt on WhatsApp.

Keep billing when the signal drops

Signed in as a staff member, open /pos. Ring up bills at the counter with no signal; they sync when it comes back.

Reorder before the shelf is empty

Signed in as a staff member, open /inventory. Low-stock list by reorder level; raise a purchase order to the HUL distributor.

What expires this week

Signed in as the owner, open /inventory. Milk, butter, biscuits and namkeen by batch; near-expiry flagged so they go on the front shelf.

Close the counter honestly

Signed in as a staff member, open /pos/z-report. Opening float, UPI vs cash, over/short for the day.

Labels for what you pack yourself

Signed in as the owner, open /items/labels. Print 50 x 25 mm barcode labels for loose toor dal and sugar packed in the shop, so they scan at the counter.

Points for every regular

Signed in as a staff member, open /loyalty/program. Every named regular earns points on each bill and redeems them at the till; the festive fortnight doubles them.

A Jaipur kirana with udhaar that never gets forgotten

Before: Loose items weighed and written down, regulars' credit in a notebook, and reorders made when the shelf was already empty.

With Finocket: Barcode and loose items on one bill, every regular on a credit limit with WhatsApp reminders, and batches for what expires.
