Built for meat orders
Texts lose units, pickup times, and changes. A structured form asks the same questions every time.
Separate species, bundles, and add-ons so customers can scan the list quickly.
Label quantities as packages, pounds, pieces, boxes, or shares and show package sizes.
Keep the pickup site and window beside the cuts and customer details.
Flexible sales models
Start with your sales model, then add your products, units, availability, and pickup choices.
List cuts with package sizes and quantity inputs.
Collect share size, timing, cuts, and packaging preferences.
Present box contents, extras, and pickup sites.
Handle limited products with size ranges and pickup windows.
Ordering workflow
Add your product structure and pickup rules, then test the form as a customer and packer.
Name each cut, selling unit, and relevant weight or price variation. List only available items.
Use numbers for quantities and single-choice fields for options such as share size. Require essential packing details.
Show cut-sheet, seasoning, or delivery questions only when the selected order needs them.
Submit a sample and confirm the unit, quantity, customer, phone, pickup site, and window are obvious.
Order intake options
The final order should use a consistent format your team can review and prepare.
Field guide
Match the fields to how you price, cut, pack, and hand over each order.
Customer
Collect a full name and monitored contact channels. A mobile number helps with pickup questions, while email works for instructions.
Products
Group products clearly and distinguish similar options by bone, package weight, count, flavor, or fresh and frozen status.
Quantity
Put the selling unit in every quantity label and identify variable-weight estimates. Keep bulk share size separate from cut preferences.
Preferences
Reveal relevant choices after an item is selected. Simple orders stay short while freezer shares can collect detailed preferences.
Pickup
List active pickup locations, dates, and windows. Update limited choices as capacity changes and include clear arrival instructions.
Confirmation
Explain post-submission confirmation. Put your substitution, deposit, cancellation, and pickup terms beside a required acknowledgment.
