Billing Software by Business Type: Kirana, Pharmacy, Restaurant & More

Billing guides for each kind of Indian shop — kirana, supermarket, pharmacy, clothing, restaurant, salon, mobile, hardware, jewellery, bakery and wholesale — with what each counter really needs.

A pharmacy needs batch and expiry tracking, a restaurant needs KOTs and tables, a clothing store needs sizes and colours. The billing basics are the same, but the details that save time at the counter are different for every trade. Pick yours:

Grocery and general stores

Fast barcode billing, loose items by weight and customer credit matter most. Start with kirana store billing or, for larger stores, supermarket billing software.

Pharmacy, clothing and footwear

Medicines need batch, expiry and HSN-wise GST — see pharmacy billing. Garments and shoes need size/colour variants and the ₹2,500 GST rule — see clothing store billing.

Food and services

Restaurants and cafés: restaurant billing with KOT. Bakeries and sweet shops: weight-based billing and expiry. Salons: salon and beauty parlour billing.

Specialist trades

Mobile shops track IMEI numbers, hardware shops sell in many units, jewellers bill making charges and old gold, and wholesalers run credit ledgers for retailers.
