Here is a complete bakery and sweet shop menu you can start from: seven sections, around fifty items, each with the range small and mid-sized shops in Indian cities commonly charge in 2026. Mithai is priced by the kilo and the rate moves with ghee, sugar and dry fruit, so these ranges are wide on purpose and are a place to start, not a rate card. Read the section on pricing by weight before you copy a number.
Mithai, per kilo
The rate of most mithai follows the price of milk, ghee and dry fruit, which is why a printed list is wrong within a few months. Keep each sweet as one item with its weights as options (see the last sections).

How to price by weight
Fix one rate per kilo and let the weights follow from it: 250 g is a quarter of it, 500 g half. Then round each weight to a number you will be comfortable saying out loud at the counter, even if it moves the rate by a rupee or two.
Revisit the rate when ghee, sugar or dry fruit moves by more than a few percent. This is the part a printed list cannot keep up with — and on a QR code menu it is one edit that reaches every phone at once.
Price gift boxes from the contents, not from the sweet that looks best. A box that quietly loses money in every festival week is the most common mistake in a mithai shop.
How to arrange it so it sells
- Mithai first, then farsan, then cakes. Whoever walks in for one usually looks at the rest only if the list invites them.
- One item per sweet, weights as options. A menu with "kaju katli 250 g", "kaju katli 500 g" and "kaju katli 1 kg" as three lines is three times as long as it needs to be.
- Photographs on the sweets that look alike. Many barfis are white squares; a picture is what separates them.
- Hide what is out of season. Gajar halwa in June is a question you do not need to answer.
- Mark three or four best sellers. A new customer buys what the regulars buy.
- Keep custom cakes off the list. A line that says "custom cakes — message us" does more than a price nobody can quote without a design.

How do I show prices per kilo and per 250 g on a menu?
Keep each sweet as one item and add its weights as options — 250 g, 500 g, 1 kg — each with its own price. The menu shows the lowest as "from", and the customer picks the weight they mean.
What is a normal price for kaju katli?
In 2026 most small and mid-sized shops in Indian cities charge somewhere between ₹900 and ₹1,400 per kilo, with a premium for the very thin, silver-leaf kind. Price yours from your own cost and the shops near you rather than from a list.
How often should a sweet shop change its menu prices?
Whenever ghee, sugar or dry fruit moves by more than a few percent, and before each festival. On a printed list that is a reprint; on a digital menu it is one edit that every phone shows straight away.
Can a customer order a custom cake from the menu?
Keep the standard cakes on the menu with their prices and handle custom designs by phone or WhatsApp. A line that says so is clearer than guessing a price for a design nobody has seen.
