Fast billing at the counter: barcode, scale and offline

A long queue at the counter costs you customers. The Munshi sale screen (Bikri) is built to make a bill in seconds, on a phone, tablet or PC.

Scan like a supermarket

• Scanner gun: plug a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner into the PC or tablet and scan anywhere on the sale screen — no need to click a box first. Each scan adds the item with a beep.
• Phone camera: tap the camera button and scan item after item.
• Quantity: type 3* before scanning to add three at once.
• Unknown barcode? Munshi offers to add the product right there, so the customer is not kept waiting.

Loose items and scale labels

For atta, daal, sabzi or meat sold by weight, Munshi reads EAN-13 scale labels with the weight or price inside the barcode. You can also sell by amount: type "Rs 150 of sugar" and Munshi works out the weight.

Every way to take payment

Cash, JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, card, or udhaar on the customer's khata — or a mix (part cash, part udhaar). With the payment QR turned on, the customer scans a QR for the exact amount and the bill confirms itself.

Receipts that customers keep

Print on a 58 mm or 80 mm thermal printer, print a proper A4 invoice with your logo, or send the receipt on WhatsApp. Every receipt can carry a "Rate us" link, so you learn how customers feel.

When the internet goes

Pakistan has load-shedding and weak signal; Munshi is ready for it. Once installed, the sale screen keeps working offline: bills are saved on the device and sent to your account when the connection returns — each bill once, never twice.

Safe at the counter

• Each cashier signs in with their own PIN.
• Discounts above your limit need the manager.
• Galla (cash counter): open with the starting cash, close at day end; Munshi shows how much cash should be there and records any shortage.
• Returns and cancelled bills are recorded with the reason and who did it.

Tip: put a cheap USB scanner next to the till. Most shops say billing becomes twice as fast in the first week.
