A dhaba or chai khana runs from early morning to late night with the same thirty items: doodh patti, paratha, anda, daal, roti. The money is in volume, so billing has to be quick.
What is in the Tea stall / cafe / dhaba list
This is the starting list Munshi adds when you choose Tea stall / cafe / dhaba: 22 items in 4 sections, each with its Urdu and English name and the right unit. Prices are left for you, because they differ from city to city.
| Section | Examples | Items |
|---|---|---|
| Tea | Doodh Patti, Chai, Green Tea, Kashmiri Chai, Coffee | 5 |
| Breakfast | Paratha, Aloo Paratha, Fried Egg, Omelette, Halwa Puri | 6 |
| Food | Daal, Sabzi, Chicken Karahi, Roti, Naan | 6 |
| Snacks | Samosa, Pakoray, Roll, Burger, Sandwich | 5 |
You can rename, delete or add items at any time, and add a second list if you sell more than one kind of goods.
Tips for this kind of shop
- Keep chai, paratha and roti on the first screen; they are most of your bills.
- Bill the table when it leaves and the parcel when it is packed, without waiting for the cash counter.
- Look at the evening total each day: it tells you which items sell after maghrib and which do not.
