How barber shops can track Cash, M-PESA and product sales
Barber shops can track haircut income, M-PESA payments, product sales, expenses and daily balances.
A barber shop may have quick daily sales from haircuts, beard trims, children’s cuts, product sales and repeat customers. Payments may be made in Cash or by M-PESA.
Because the transactions are often small and frequent, it is easy to forget some income or expenses. A barber may buy blades, disinfectant, towels, electricity tokens, rent items or small repairs during the day.
Good records help the owner know whether the shop is growing, which days are busy, and whether costs are becoming too high.
Useful records for a barber shop
- Daily haircut income.
- Product sales such as oils, sprays or grooming items.
- Cash payments.
- M-PESA payments.
- Rent and utilities.
- Equipment and supply costs.
- Staff payments if more than one barber works there.
Common mistake
- Recording total sales but not separating Cash and M-PESA can make end-of-day balances confusing.
