Why structured ordering matters
Connect every choice to a share, separate incompatible options, and give the cutting room a consistent record.
Group loin, rib, chuck, round, brisket, plate, and trim choices in a sensible order.
Show steak thickness after a steak choice, roast weight after a roast choice, and package size after ground beef is selected.
Keep the buyer, share, cut instructions, requests, and pickup plan together.
Built around your sales model
Choose the closest workflow, then insert the cuts and packaging your processor offers.
Constrained preferences, package sizes, and pickup details for first-time buyers.
Primal-by-primal decisions, split-side instructions, offal, and custom labels.
Animal IDs, recipient allocation, cutting instructions, specialty requests, and routing.
Fixed contents, add-on quantities, substitutions, and scheduled pickup.
Order-form workflow
Start from your processor's menu, generate the structure, and test every choice path.
Provide share sizes and the exact cut, thickness, package, and specialty options customers may request.
