Mithai POS that bills by the gram

Mithai sells by weight, costs move with ghee and dry-fruit prices, and Diwali can make the year. F&Bos bills by the gram, costs every batch and helps you plan the festival peak.

Why it matters

Mithai needs its own workflow

A mithai counter weighs, prices by the gram and boxes gifts, often all for one customer. Costs move with ghee, khoya and cashew prices, and a large share of the year's revenue arrives in a few festival weeks.

F&Bos is built around that: weight-based billing at the counter, batch costing that keeps per-kg costs current, wastage tracked in rupees for short-life milk sweets, and festival planning for the Diwali peak. See our sweet shop margins guide for benchmarks.
