How Mombasa food kiosks can track stock, spoilage and daily profit
Mombasa food kiosks can track food stock, spoilage, sales, wages, rent, Cash, M-PESA and daily profit.
Food kiosks handle fast-moving stock and daily costs. Food supplies may be bought in the morning, sold during the day, and partly wasted or spoiled by closing time.
The owner may receive Cash and M-PESA payments while also paying for ingredients, gas or charcoal, water, wages, rent, transport and packaging.
If stock spoilage and expenses are not recorded, the business may think it made more profit than it actually did.
What to record
- Food and ingredient purchases.
- Meal sales by Cash and M-PESA.
- Spoiled or wasted food.
- Gas, charcoal, water and electricity costs.
- Staff wages.
- Daily closing Cash and M-PESA balances.
Common issue
- Sales may look strong, but food waste and daily expenses can reduce profit heavily.
