Captured at the counter, defensible at corporate.
The employee who performs the grind records the source, weights, and sanitation while the material is still in front of them. Corporate sees every store from one dashboard.
Recall-ready grind logging for multi-store meat departments
Every grind on record. Every recall traced in seconds.
GrindLogic is grind log software that turns the FSIS-required record into recall-ready traceability. When a recall hits, trace every affected lot, packer, primal, and USDA establishment across every store at once, and the same log shows yield and shrink chain-wide.

Where the meat is
When the recall hits, the right records surface.
Search every grind record across every store by lot, packer, primal, or USDA establishment, then flag the affected records with a who-and-when trail.
Reports are ready before the inspector asks.
CSV and PDF exports are formatted to the rule's required fields, so management and audit review can start from the same record.
Department workflow
A complete record flow from setup to recall review.
GrindLogic keeps the daily workflow simple for counter staff, while preserving the detail managers need for review, reporting, and traceability.
01 / STEP
Configure the department
Load stores, grinders, packers, establishments, primals, lot numbers, products, PLUs, employee names, and cost per pound.
02 / STEP
Capture the grind
Record source materials, establishment IDs, lot numbers, weights, production output, employee, shift, time, and sanitation status.
03 / STEP
Review and lock
Move records from draft to submitted to recorded. Locked records keep their source attachments and review trail.
04 / STEP
Trace and export
Search by lot, packer, primal, or establishment, then export USDA/FSIS CSV and audit-ready PDF packets when needed.
Live operations
Dashboard metrics show production, yield, toss, and transfer activity together.
Leaders can filter by store, product type, production item, and date range. The chart separates production pounds, toss pounds, department transfers, frozen transfers, and yield percentage so patterns are visible before inspection day.
- Store and product filters
- Yield and pounds trend chart
- Estimated waste-cost metric
Point of work
The grind-log form captures the exact source and production fields the department needs.
Teams record store, employee, timing, grinder, source company, establishment, primal, lot number, source weight, finished product, PLU, production weight, sanitation, and notes from one screen.
- Inline lookup creation
- Multiple source items
- Offline save support
Trace review
When the recall hits, you are ready before the phone stops ringing.
A recall notice lands and the phone starts ringing. GrindLogic searches every grind record across every store by lot, packer, primal, or USDA establishment, flags the affected records with a who-and-when trail, and shows the active recalls in one view.
- Full-text search across all stores
- Flag and unflag affected records
- Active recalls and expired-lot filters
Built to the rule
Built to the FSIS beef rule, field for field.
The grind form captures every element of 9 CFR 320.1(b)(4), kept for a year, with audit-ready CSV and PDF exports formatted to the rule's required fields, ready before the inspector asks. Built to the rule, for the stores that still grind raw beef in house.
Digital grind logs
Replace binders and loose forms with searchable records built around the FSIS 9 CFR 320.1(b)(4) grind-log fields.
Recall traceability
Find every grind that touched a supplier lot, establishment, packer, or primal, then flag items for review.
Toss and transfer control
Track toss, department transfer, frozen transfer, weight, reason, notes, and estimated waste cost.
Production analytics
Compare total grinds, pounds, yield, toss, transfers, and waste cost across dates, stores, and products.
FSIS alert review
Active recall review checks normalized establishment and lot values against your grind history.
Controlled team access
Assign roles, store access, member permissions, subscriptions, and reports without exposing every setting to every user.
Record contents
The required details stay together.
Every saved grind becomes more than a row in a table. It becomes a packet that connects who did the work, what source material was used, what finished product was made, and whether the department can prove the record later.
- Store, employee, date, shift, start time, and completion time
- Product type, grinder, finished production items, SKUs, and PLUs
- Source packer, establishment number, primal, lot number, expiration, and weight
- Sanitation confirmation, notes, attachments, approvals, print, CSV, and PDF export

The log that pays for itself
The paperwork you already do, now showing where the margin leaks.
