PRACTICAL POS GUIDE · KENYACatalogue setup for honey shop POS in Kenya
This guide to catalogue setup for honey shop explains the daily checks. Prepare the honey shop catalogue before the first sale: choose the selling unit, separate similar items and enter counted opening stock. This guide uses Honey jar 500 g, Honey jar 1 kg and Beeswax candle as examples.
Catalogue setup for honey shop: decide what one quantity means
Separate jar volume or weight and product type. A gift pack containing multiple jars needs a clear fixed unit.
Describe the actual pack the customer receives. Avoid using the same entry for a sealed box and a loose piece unless the chosen stock workflow explicitly supports that conversion.
A starter catalogue to adapt
The figures below are illustrative preset prices, not market quotations. They do not describe your stock. Replace them before trading.
| Item or service | Sale unit | Sample KES price | Opening count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Honey jar 500 g | fixed pack | 650 | Count actual units |
| Honey jar 1 kg | fixed pack | 1,200 | Count actual units |
| Beeswax candle | piece | 300 | Count actual units |
| Honey jar 250 g | fixed pack | 350 | Count actual units |
| Honey gift pack 3 jars | pack | 1,800 | Count actual units |
| Wooden honey dipper | piece | 200 | Count actual units |
Load and rehearse in this order
- Check that Honey jar 500 g has a clear name, unit, price and unique item code.
- Distinguish Honey jar 1 kg from Honey jar 500 g; a similar name must not hide a different pack.
- Count usable Honey jar 500 g units and record that physical opening quantity.
- On sample records, sell two Honey jar 500 g units and confirm only that item reduces by two.
- Review the receipt and backup before entering real business records.
Correct the catalogue without hiding a stock difference
If Honey jar 500 g was named incorrectly, correct the name. If its quantity is wrong, investigate the count and record an explained adjustment. Editing a price or changing a description does not explain missing units. Keep old transactions readable when deciding how to rename an item.

Product fit for this business
Use defined whole units and packs. The software is not a complete specialist ERP or double-entry accounting system.
All amounts and product movements on this page are illustrative. The public demo uses sample records. Use an isolated test installation for rehearsal and replace sample prices and counts before real trading.
