Loose weight, daily rate card
Scale-driven cart, daily rate card per item, loose-weight pricing in any unit. Built for sabzi mandis, organic stores, and fresh-produce counters.
Part of HelloBooks POS · Industry verticals
Mandi retail moves on three things: today’s rate, the customer’s requested weight, and the cashier’s ability to bill in seconds. HelloBooks gives the cashier a scale-driven cart, a daily-rate-card surface, and a receipt that respects the loose-sale model.
Every detail, dialled in
Built for the till, validated against the canonical accounting engine — so every POS sale closes the books cleanly.
Daily rate card surface
Open the till in the morning, update today’s rate per item (carrots ₹40/kg, onions ₹30/kg). The cashier sees rates as buttons; the customer asks for "half a kilo of onions" and the line is added in seconds.
- Per-item daily rate
- Rate-button surface for cashier
- Rate change audited
- Receipt shows the rate used
Scale-driven line add
The cashier focuses the item button; the customer drops vegetables on the scale; the till reads the stable weight, multiplies by today’s rate, and the line is on the bill. No typing.
- Live scale read
- Stable-weight lock
- Tare per container
- Multi-scale per till
Loose + packed sales mixed
A customer might buy 750 g of tomatoes (loose) and a 1-kg packet of dal (packed) in the same bill. Both work side by side; the receipt prints the right unit per line.
- Loose + packed mixed
- Per-line unit
- Multi-UOM at line
- Wastage tracked separately
Why teams move off legacy tills
- Cashier reads scale, types weight
- Daily rate on a whiteboard
- Loose unit confused with packed
- No wastage discipline
- Scale reads directly
- Rate-button surface
- Per-line unit clear
- Wastage tracked + visible
Questions, answered
How is daily wastage recorded?
A wastage entry against the open shift — spoilage, damage, sample. Posts to a dedicated expense and shows on the Z-report.
Can I sell loose grains in 100 g increments?
Yes. Multi-UOM means the cashier can sell in g while the scale streams kg.
What about cash tipping (chhutta) handled outside the bill?
Round-off at bill level + cash drawer kick handle the standard tipping pattern. Nothing escapes the books.
Does this work for fresh fruit too?
Yes — same flow. Mango, apple, papaya all weigh the same way.
