Software that runs the meat shop, not just a page about it.

Cut sheets filled out online from the real hanging weight. A tablet kiosk at the counter for walk ins. Every animal tracked from drop off to pickup. Labels printed at the scale. Invoices that build themselves. It is already running a working shop and processor, and it can be running yours under your own name and your own brand.

The problem

The shop runs on paper, and paper does not scale.

Nobody who runs a locker needs this explained. But it is worth writing down, because every one of these is something the platform closes.

01The cut sheet is a phone call, three times over.

The animal comes in, gets hung, gets weighed, and then somebody has to reach the customer to find out what they want. They do not answer. They answer and change their mind. Somebody writes it on a sheet in the cooler and hopes the handwriting holds up.

02Nothing knows the hanging weight but the wall.

The customer picks cuts before anybody knows what the animal actually gave, so half the choices are guesses and the take home never matches what they pictured. The number that should drive everything is on a clipboard.

03The invoice is built by hand, twice.

Kill fee, hanging weight, share, the per pound work on top, and every upcharge somebody has to remember from the cut sheet. It gets added up by hand at the end of a long day, and it is either slow or wrong.

04The retail side is a different world entirely.

Counter case, deli case, holiday orders and the website all live in separate places, so the price on the sign, the price in the book, and the price online are three different prices.

What it does

One system for the cooler, the counter and the office.

This is not a list of things that could be built. Every one of these is written, shipped, and in use by a real shop today.

Custom processing

  • Animals logged at drop off with tag and kill numbers, species, source and the dates that matter
  • Live, hanging, chilled and take home weights, with yield figured from the real numbers instead of a rule of thumb
  • Cut sheet invites sent after the animal is weighed, so the customer builds their sheet against the actual hanging weight
  • A full primal by primal builder for beef and hog with a live take home total, and a trim budget so the sausage and brat picks cannot exceed what the share can give
  • Split animals with a share per owner, each owner's own cut sheet, name and address on the record, and the not for sale marking where it belongs
  • Printable work orders for the cutting floor

The counter and the case

  • A tablet kiosk at your counter so a walk in builds a full cut sheet with no account, just a name and a phone number
  • Your retail case online with real cuts, real prices and a whole versus cut price on the same item
  • A deli counter that sells by the pound, down to how thick the customer wants it sliced
  • Holiday and special occasion campaigns with capacity, a deposit you set per campaign, and a run sheet for pickup day
  • Pay at the counter out of the box, with online prepay available whenever you want to turn it on
  • A scale station that weighs and prints barcoded labels for retail packages and custom packages both

The office

  • Invoices generated from the animal: kill fee, hanging weight, the share, and every upcharge the cut sheet earned
  • Numbered invoices, an outstanding total, and the customer's copy in their own account
  • Your pricing in one place, so a change to the per pound rate flows everywhere it is used
  • A shop calendar with pickups, kill dates and cut dates already on it
  • Staff logins with per person permissions, so the counter help does not see the books

The customer side

  • Order and pickup confirmations by email, plus a reminder the day before
  • Every customer's own animals, cut sheets, invoices and order history in one account
  • A rewards program you set the rules for, applied at checkout instead of remembered at the counter
  • Your site written to be read by search engines and by the AI assistants people now ask for recommendations
Proof

It is not a demo. A real shop runs on it.

Three Brothers Meat is a working butcher shop and processor running its entire operation on this platform. Their public site, their deli case, their counter, their cut sheets and their animal records are all the software described on this page.

Three Brothers Meat
A working shop and processor on the platform

Customers fill out their cut sheet online, primal by primal, from a private link the shop sends once the animal is weighed. Walk ins do the same on the tablet at the counter with no account. Behind the counter, every animal is tracked from drop off to pickup, the scale station prints barcoded labels, and the invoice builds itself from the hanging weight and the cut sheet. The deli case sells online by the pound, down to the slice.

Why this is different

A web shop sells you a page. This runs the business.

There are two kinds of people who will pitch you, and they are not selling the same thing at all.

What a web shop sells you
A page about your shop, and a bill every month for keeping it up.
  • Built by someone who has never seen a hanging carcass, from the same template as the dentist down the road
  • Your hours and a photo of the case, updated whenever somebody gets around to it
  • Everything that actually runs the shop still lives on paper
  • Stop paying and the page goes dark
What this platform is
The site, plus the system that takes the orders, tracks the animals and writes the invoices.
  • Built for meat processing specifically, out of a real shop's real workflow
  • The site is fed by the shop, so the price on the sign and the price online are the same price
  • The record trail comes with it instead of living in a drawer
  • Your data is yours, on your own database, and it exports

A generic web shop cannot build this for you at any sane price, because it is years of work aimed at one trade. It already exists. Getting your shop into it is measured in days.

How it works

Your shop, your name on it.

01

We walk the shop

A real conversation about how you take animals in, how you price the work, what your deli case looks like, and what is costing you the most time right now. No pitch deck.

02

Your shop goes in

Your cuts, your prices, your deli case, your processing rates, your brand, your domain. Your shop gets its own database and its own deployment, not a seat in a shared pool.

03

We train the counter

Staff logins with the right permissions for each person, the kiosk set up on your tablet, the label station at your scale, and a walk through of the day to day with whoever actually runs the counter.

04

It keeps getting better

The platform is under active development because a real shop uses it every day. Improvements land for everybody running it, and I am the one writing them.

FAQ

What shops ask before they say yes.

Is this a website or is it software?

Both, and that is the point. Your public site, the online store, and the deli counter are the front of the same system that runs the shop. When staff change a price at the counter it changes on the site. When a customer fills out a cut sheet online it lands on your board. There is no second system to keep in step, because there is not a second system.

We already have a website. Do we have to throw it out?

Yes, and that is a feature. The site gets rebuilt from scratch as part of the platform so it is fed by your real inventory and your real schedule instead of being a separate brochure somebody has to remember to update. You keep your name, your look, your photos and your domain.

Do our customers need an account?

No. A walk in can build a full cut sheet on the tablet at your counter with nothing but a name and a phone number. Custom processing customers get a private link the shop sends after the animal is weighed, so they fill out their sheet from the couch without signing up for anything.

What about the ones who will never use a computer?

Staff can do everything on their behalf. Enter the cut sheet, enter the weights, add the owner to the animal, generate the invoice. The online side is there for the customers who want it, not a requirement for the ones who do not.

Does it handle custom processing and retail at the same time?

That is the whole reason it exists. Custom exempt animals belonging to your customers and retail carcasses for your own counter live side by side, each tracked properly, each marked properly, and a counter sale traces back to the animal it came from.

Will it keep the records we are required to keep?

It keeps the record trail a processor is expected to have: the animal, the tag and kill numbers, live and hanging and take home weights, who owns each share with their name and address, the dates, and the not for sale marking where it belongs. It is built to hold your records, not to replace your inspector. Bring your state requirements to the walkthrough and we will look at them together.

How long does it take to get running?

The software is already built and already running a real shop, so there is nothing to invent. The work is getting your shop into it: your cuts, your prices, your deli case, your brand. That is measured in days, not the many months a custom build takes.

Who owns our data?

You do, and you can export it. The shop runs on its own database under your own account, not a shared pool where your customer list sits next to a competitor's.

Get started

See it with your own shop in mind.

Fifteen minutes on a screen share. I show you the cut sheet builder, the counter kiosk, the animal record and the invoice it writes, and you tell me where it does and does not fit how you work. If it is not a fit I will say so.
