Running a sweet shop isn’t just about recipes – it’s about relationships, trust, and celebrations. But in 2025, your customers aren’t only walking into your store; they’re scrolling for sweets on their phones.

Whether you sell traditional mithai, dry fruits, or festive gift boxes, chotu helps you take your sweet shop online in minutes, get more customers on WhatsApp, and grow your business – without hiring developers or using a laptop.
