What it does for your business
Record each carcass you buy with its supplier, weight and cost, then break it into halves, quarters or cuts with the cost shared by sales value or by weight. The yield, the waste and the shrink are worked out for you, and the butcher dashboard shows the profit of every carcass.

Step-by-step guides
- CarcassesEvery carcass a butcher shop buys, with its tag, animal, vendor, weight and cost, and the cost per kg worked out from them. A carcass is then broken down into cuts, sold whole, or still in stock. Part of the Carcass costing add-on for butcher shops.
- Carcass breakdownsA carcass cut into halves, quarters or cuts. Its cost is shared over the cuts, by their sales value (a kilo of chops carries more than a kilo of neck) or by weight, and each cut's kilos come into stock at its new cost per kg while the carcass's kilos go out. What the cuts and the thrown-away waste do not account for is the shrink. Part of the Carcass costing add-on.
- Butcher dashboardA butcher shop's figures for a period: the meat sold by the kilo, its revenue and gross profit, the meat in stock by weight and the top cuts; with the Carcass costing add-on also the carcasses bought, their average yield, the kilos lost (cutting waste, shrink and the waste log), the profit on the cuts, the figures by animal and the profit on each carcass.
- Waste logMeat that is spoiled, trimmed, lost as drip, past its date or returned, taken out of the product's stock at its cost per kg. Purchases are an expense already, so waste is never an expense again: the log shows the kilos lost and what they cost. Part of the Carcass costing add-on.
