How to make an app for a juice shop

A juice shop lives on fruit that spoils in a day or two. If you know how many crates of mosambi became how many glasses, and how much was thrown away, you know where the money goes. An app at the counter records sales by glass and fruit bought each morning, and keeps track of regulars' prepaid cards.

Who uses the app

The owner and the counter boy, usually on one phone at the counter, so the data can stay on that phone. If you want to check the day's sales from home, or a second shop uses it, connect your own Supabase database.

The screens a juice shop app needs

Counter: Tap the juice and size to record a sale, with cash or UPI
Fruit bought: Crates and kg bought from the market each morning, with the price paid
Fruit used and wasted: Kg used for juice and kg thrown away at closing, by fruit
Regulars: Prepaid cards, like 30 glasses for ₹1,350, with glasses used and left
Party orders: Jugs and glasses booked for offices and functions, with date, time and advance
Day and month: Sales by juice, fruit cost and wastage for the day and the month

Features worth asking for

Quick counter entry: juice, small or large, cash or UPI
Fruit cost against juice sold, to see the margin on each fruit
Wastage recorded at closing, by fruit
Prepaid glass cards for regulars, counted down on every visit
Party orders with an advance and a WhatsApp confirmation
A list of the most-ordered juices in each season
A month report as a PDF

Where the data lives

With one phone at the counter, the data can stay on that phone. To see the shop's sales from home or run a second counter, connect your own Supabase database; to sell prepaid cards online, connect your Razorpay account as well.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Counter, Fruit bought, Fruit used and wasted, Regulars, Party orders.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your juice shop, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my juice shop, Rasraj Juice Centre in Surat. Screens: counter, fruit bought, fruit used and wasted, regulars, party orders and day and month. At the counter, tap a juice, small or large, and cash or UPI. Each morning I enter the fruit bought: mosambi, pineapple, watermelon, mango, in kg with price. At closing I enter kg thrown away. Regulars buy a card of 30 glasses for ₹1,350; count it down each visit. Party orders have date, glasses or jugs and advance. Show the month's sales, fruit cost and wastage. Orange and green colours.

Tips for a juice shop app

Start with only the counter screen for a week, then add fruit bought and wastage once the counter boy is used to it.
Put the most-ordered juices at the top of the counter screen so a sale is one tap in the rush hour.
Weigh fruit the same way every morning, by crate or by kg, and give AppCub that unit.
Agree the prepaid card rules first: does it expire, and can family members use it?
Ask for big buttons; the counter will be wet and busy.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to weighing scales, billing machines or card machines, and it doesn't send automatic messages. Weights are typed in, and party confirmations go out when you tap WhatsApp.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can a juice shop app show my profit on each fruit?

Yes, roughly. If you enter what you pay for the fruit and what you sell, the app shows fruit cost against juice sales for each fruit.

Can I track how much fruit gets wasted?

Yes. Enter the kg thrown away at closing, and the month screen shows wastage by fruit, so you can buy less of what spoils.

Can regulars have a prepaid juice card?

Yes. Ask for cards with a number of glasses, counted down at each visit, with the balance shown on their record.

Is the counter screen fast enough for a rush?

Ask AppCub for large buttons with your most-ordered juices on top. A sale can then be a juice, a size and the payment type.

Can I see sales from home?

Yes, if the app uses your own Supabase database. The counter records sales, and you see the same figures on your phone.

Can customers order juice from the app?

Yes, with an online database. For small shops a WhatsApp order button is often enough, and you can add a customer app later if needed.
