How to run your frozen foods & cold room business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
Frozen food is bought by the carton and sold by the carton or the kilo, and it can't sit forever. Retailers often buy on credit.
TheCEOApp keeps the cartons, kilos and dates straight.
Carton or kilo
Add chicken or fish by the carton and set how many kilos are inside. Sell either way.
Expiry dates
Each batch carries its expiry date, with a warning 30 days before.
Retailers on credit
Part payments stay on each retailer's name, with a WhatsApp reminder.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example chicken (carton), turkey (kg) and titus fish (carton), and services like home delivery, bulk order and cutting & cleaning. Suggestions for a frozen foods & cold room come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by kg, carton, pack and piece. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch.
