Point. Count. Know.
Here’s the whole thing.
Three simple steps, and the only thing that ever leaves your shop is a count.
- 1
Point
You mount a small camera at the point of service: the chair, the counter or the till. Not the door, and not the street. Our step-by-step guide shows you how.
- 2
Count
A little box in the shop watches that one spot and counts each service as it happens: a haircut, an order handed over, a customer served. The video is processed right there and isn’t uploaded.
- 3
Know
Every night you get counted vs billed vs paid, shop by shop, on the channel you choose: WhatsApp, SMS, email, Telegram, LINE or Viber. There’s a web dashboard too.

What leaves the shop
- Counts: how many services, when, and at which point.
- Health status: is the camera on, in place and connected.
- A short, low-resolution clip, only when you ask for it to settle a disputed count.
Never: continuous video, faces or identities.
Setting up
- Do it yourself: plug in the box, scan a QR code, mount the camera.
- Mark the chair or counter on a photo, right from your phone.
- Works with shop Wi-Fi or a 4G connection.
- You get an alert if the camera is covered, moved, unplugged or offline.
Sales and payments
- Upload a bank, UPI or mobile-money statement and we match payments to sales automatically.
- Staff enter cash and mobile-pay totals (UPI, M-Pesa, Pix, cards) in seconds.
- Cash is checked against the camera count, since it doesn’t appear in a bank statement.
- Chains can connect their POS (coming for chains).

Questions owners ask
What is Kaulik?
Kaulik is a small camera and box that counts every service in a shop (a haircut, an order handed over, a customer served) and matches that count to the sales staff report and the payments that reach the owner’s bank or UPI account. The owner gets one simple report every night on WhatsApp, SMS or email. It counts services, never faces, and video stays in the shop.
Does it recognise faces?
No. It counts services, never identities.
Do I need a technician?
No. Kaulik is designed to set up yourself, with a step-by-step guide. If you get stuck, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll walk you through it.
Do I need new cameras?
We supply a small camera aimed at the point of service, so the placement is right.
What if the internet goes down?
The box keeps counting and syncs when the connection is back.
Can staff fool it?
It alerts you if the camera is covered, moved or unplugged.
How accurate is it?
We’ll publish accuracy figures once our first pilots are complete. During your pilot you can check any count yourself against the short clip.
Do I need a POS?
No. Staff can enter cash and mobile-pay totals, or you can upload a statement; chains can connect their POS.
Can I upload my bank or UPI statement?
Yes. Upload a statement from your bank, UPI app or mobile-money account and we match payments to your sales. Use the PDF or CSV statement your bank or app already lets you download.
What about cash?
Cash doesn’t show up in a bank statement, so cash is checked against the camera count and the totals staff enter.
Where is Kaulik available?
Pilots are open now. Tell us where your shops are and we’ll let you know how soon we can set you up.
What do my staff see?
Their own service counts, if you switch that on.
