Cleaver: All-in-one software built for independent meat processors
Platform replaces the spiral notebooks, whiteboards, and generic registers most independent shops rely on with one tool.
Cleaver, a new software platform built exclusively for butcher shops and meat processors, is now available nationwide. It replaces the spiral notebooks, whiteboards, and generic registers most independent shops rely on with one tool that follows an animal from drop-off through cutting, packaging and pickup.
Cleaver is designed around how a processing shop actually works. Customer cut sheets are captured once and followed through breakdown. Every pack is serial-labeled and traced to its source carcass, so a recall that once took a day of paperwork is answered in a single query. At the counter, scanning a labeled pack prices it at weight times price-per-pound automatically, with no flat list prices. HACCP records, cooler and freezer temperature logs, and sanitation sign offs are built in and audit-ready for USDA inspection. For shops that smoke, cure and make sausage, recipe management captures cure days, smoke schedules and shelf life, with source-animal traceability on every finished product.
"Independent processors do some of the most demanding work in food, and most are running it on paper because the 'real' software was built for grocery chains and costs a fortune," said Yanis Vasilevskis, founder of Cleaver. "We built Cleaver for the shop with two counter staff and a walk-in cooler - at a price a small shop can actually afford."
Cleaver runs in the cloud with nothing to install, works on the hardware a shop already owns, and is offered as a tiered monthly subscription with a 14-day free trial.
