In the fresh meat, poultry, and fish trade in India, Sunday morning between 7:30 AM and 11:30 AM represents over 60% of the entire week’s retail cash flow. During this intense four-hour window, thirty customers stand elbow-to-elbow in front of your cutting blocks. Cutting butchers are working at top speed with wet, bloody hands, cleavers are hammering wooden stumps, and impatient customers are shouting their orders.
In this high-pressure environment, you cannot afford a complicated software screen that requires typing text on a tiny touch keyboard or waiting for an internet cloud connection to process. If billing each bag takes more than 15 seconds, customer queues back up into the street and customers abandon your shop to buy from the vendor next door.
