A kiryana counter is busy, full of loose goods, regular customers on credit and a hundred small items that run out without warning. Dukaan POS is made for exactly that counter.
Scan with a counter barcode gun or the phone’s camera, or tap the product. Search by name, barcode or SKU. Up to ten bills can be held while a customer fetches one more thing.
Weighed goods in decimal quantities — 1.25 kg of daal
Discounts on a line or the whole bill
Keyboard shortcuts on a counter PC: F2 search, F4 hold, F8 pay
02
Start with a ready-made product list
Pick your shop type and choose from a suggested list of common grocery items with prices filled in, or import your own list from a spreadsheet. You can be selling within the hour.
03
Know what is running out
Every sale takes stock off the count. Set a minimum for each item and the low-stock list tells you what to reorder before the shelf is empty. Record deliveries from your supplier and stock goes up by itself.
04
Udhaar for your regulars
Neighbourhood customers on monthly credit get their own statement. Take part payments, see the total owed to the shop, and chase what is due.
Questions
Kiryana store: what shopkeepers ask
Can I sell loose items by weight?
Yes. Quantities can be decimals, so 0.5 kg or 2.25 kg bill correctly, with exact rupee arithmetic.
Do I need a computer?
No. An Android phone or tablet is enough. A Windows PC with a barcode gun and thermal printer works too, if you prefer a counter setup.
Which receipt printer should I buy?
Any 58 mm or 80 mm ESC/POS thermal printer. Bluetooth models work with Android phones; USB models with computers.
What if the power or internet goes?
The app does not need the internet at all. On a phone or laptop with battery you keep selling through load-shedding.
