Diwali checklist for shop owners

The festive season brings your busiest weeks of the year. A little planning now saves a lot of stress later.

Stock

• Check which items sold fastest last festive season.
• Set reorder levels for your best sellers.
• Clear slow-moving stock with combos or small offers.

Billing and counter

• Keep a quick billing setup ready for walk-in customers.
• Test your printer and keep spare paper rolls.
• Keep a UPI QR code visible at the counter.

Cash and dues

• Collect pending udhaar before the rush, not during it.
• Plan supplier payments so your cash doesn't run short mid-season.
• Look at your expected cash flow for the next 30 days.

Staff

• Decide who handles billing and who handles stock.
• Give each person only the access they need.

Customers

• Thank your regular customers with a simple loyalty reward.
• Share your festive timings on WhatsApp.
