Cut Sheet Helper
For processors, locker plants & butcher shops

Cut sheet software for custom meat processors

Cut Sheet Helper puts your cut sheet online. Your customers fill it out on their phone and see the price as they choose. You get a complete, priced order, then enter the hanging weight once and the bill is done.

$20/month or $200/year. Setup included. No contract, and no cut of your orders.

What it replaces

The paper sheet and everything that follows it

Cut sheet software replaces the paper form, the phone calls to sort out what the customer meant, and the arithmetic at pickup. Here is where each one goes.

Paper sheets
Handed across the counter, mailed, or faxed back half filled in. The online sheet won't submit until every question has an answer.
Callbacks
"Normal thickness" and "a few roasts" each cost a phone call. Every choice on the online sheet is a specific option you wrote.
Re-typing
Nobody copies the sheet into a spreadsheet or the cutting-room notes. The submitted sheet is the order.
Math at pickup
Your rates are built in, so the bill is worked out when you enter the weight. The customer saw the prices while they ordered.
How it works

From your price list to a paid pickup

  1. 1

    Send us your sheet and price list

    We configure your cut sheet to match: your questions, your rates, your minimums. Setup is included, and you review it before you pay.

  2. 2

    Send your customers one link

    Text it, email it, or print it as a QR code for the counter. Customers don't download anything or make an account.

  3. 3

    Customers order on their phone

    They pick their cuts and watch the price add up as they go. You get an email when a complete, priced order lands.

  4. 4

    Weigh once, then bill

    Enter the hanging weight after slaughter and every per-pound charge re-prices. Record payments, print the sheet, send the bill and the pickup notice.

What it handles

Your pricing, not a generic one

Cut Sheet Helper prices beef and pork orders the way your shop already charges. If you aren't sure how to lay your rates out, the guide to pricing custom processing walks through each model.

✓
Flat rate per pound
One rate on hanging weight that covers everything, with add-ons priced on top.
✓
Itemized pricing
Slaughter fee, waste or disposal fee, cut and wrap per pound, each on its own line of the bill.
✓
Add-on products
Patties, sausage, brats and the like, priced per pound, with your minimums and flavor choices.
✓
Packaging upgrades
Charge for the options that cost you more, priced as the customer picks them.
✓
Animals you sell
Price shop-raised animals on live weight and ask for a larger deposit up front.
✓
Package deals
A fixed price for a set order, like a whole pig at one price with sausage included.
✓
Halves split between two customers
Each customer gets their own sheet, deposit and bill. You weigh the carcass once and each half is priced on its share.
✓
Deposits
A flat amount or a percentage of the order, tracked so you know what's outstanding before cutting starts.
Order screen with a live weight field and re-price button, a recorded deposit, and the balance still owed
Weight in, bill out Type the hanging or live weight once. Every per-pound charge becomes a real number, and payments are recorded against the order.

Who it's for

Shops that take custom orders

Cut Sheet Helper is for meat processors and butcher shops that cut beef and hogs to their customers' instructions. It is your ordering system, not a directory where people look for a processor.

Custom-exempt processors
Shops cutting animals for the people who own them, where the cut sheet is the whole order.
Inspected processors
USDA or state-inspected plants that also take custom orders from customers bringing in beef and hogs.
Locker plants
Small-town plants with a busy fall and a stack of sheets to sort through every season.
Butcher shops
Shops that sell sides, halves and whole hogs, including animals they raise themselves.
