Sweet Shop Inventory Management – Mithai Store Stock Tips

Sweet shops sell perishable goods. Inventory must account for freshness and daily turnover.

Part of our inventory management guide.

Freshness Is Key

Mithai has short shelf life. FIFO (first in, first out) is critical. Display or sell oldest stock first. Batch tracking helps – know which batch was made when.

Daily Production vs Purchase

Shops that make in-house: track raw materials (sugar, ghee, flour). Shops that buy: track supplier batches and expiry. Both need daily stock checks.

Seasonal Spikes

Diwali, festivals = 5–10x normal sales. Plan inventory in advance. Don’t over-order – leftover sweets after the rush go waste.

Wastage Control

Track shrink – how much gets damaged or expires. High wastage = wrong ordering or poor storage. Use Days of Stock to match order size to sales.
