What M-Pesa Payments and Reconciliation does for a pastry shop
It links every Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi payment to the matching sale, so the till balances itself. For a pastry shop, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Pastry shops track daily production, freshness, custom orders and ingredient costs. Pastry shop margins are strong but daily waste and custom labor reduce profit.
Customers and corporate orders expect consistent quality and eTIMS compliance. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
