# Khata by trade

- [Kirana & general stores](https://www.lskhata.com/use-cases/kirana-store.md) — A kirana counter runs on speed and on credit. Khata is built for both — scan and bill in seconds, and keep every customer's udhaar straight without a paper bahi.
- [Restaurants, cafés & tea shops](https://www.lskhata.com/use-cases/restaurant.md) — Front of house and kitchen need the same order at the same time. Khata prints a kitchen ticket, handles half and full portions, and closes the day with a single report.
- [Hardware & building materials](https://www.lskhata.com/use-cases/hardware-store.md) — Hardware runs on trade credit in both directions. Khata tracks what contractors owe you, what you owe suppliers, and whether the job was actually worth doing.
- [Wholesale & distribution](https://www.lskhata.com/use-cases/wholesale-distribution.md) — Distribution is a credit business with inventory attached. Khata keeps party terms, purchase orders and stock in one place, and lets staff work without seeing everything.
