Weight, pieces and mixed boxes
Most sweets sell by the kilo, some by the piece, and a mixed box is several items in one sale at different rates. Holding the unit on the item means a counter assistant weighs, enters and moves on. For an assorted box the bill shows what went into it, which matters when a customer orders the same thing again for the next function.
Bulk orders and advances
A wedding or festival order is agreed days ahead with an advance, and delivered on a date. That is a quotation, an advance recorded against the party, and a final bill with the advance set off — four steps most shops keep only the last of. Doing it properly means the customer sees what was agreed and you are not reconstructing an amount from a slip on the day.
Boxes, packing and delivery
The box, the packing and any delivery are real costs that most sweet shops absorb by folding into the rate, which makes the per-kilo price look higher than the shop next door. On separate lines the material price stays comparable and the packing is visible — and you can see monthly whether the boxes you buy are being recovered.
The number to watch
Sell-through by item within its shelf life. Sweets do not keep, so an item that consistently has stock left at closing is being over-produced, and one that runs out by afternoon is being under-produced. The movement report over any period tells you which is which, and in a trade making fresh stock every morning that feedback changes the next day rather than the next quarter.
