Records are captured at the counter
The employee who performs the grind records the details while the source material, labels, equipment, and output are still in front of them.

What changes in the department
History is searchable by the facts that matter
Lot number, packer, primal, establishment, store, employee, product, PLU, and date filters turn old record hunts into targeted searches.
Reports are ready before the request arrives
CSV, PDF, FSIS-style exports, scheduled emails, and mock trace packets make management and audit review less reactive.
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 approved. Approved records stay locked, including their source attachments.
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
Recall tools connect source lots to finished production records.
Search by lot number, primal, packer, or establishment. Run mock recall traces, review active recalls, inspect FSIS matches, and export the trace packet for internal review.
- Lot-level search
- Active recall flags
- Mock trace PDF export
System coverage
Built around the records a real meat department has to defend.
The page is not selling a generic task manager. GrindLogic is purpose-built for the data chain between source materials, production output, waste, transfer, recalls, and audit exports.
Digital grind logs
Replace binders and loose forms with searchable records built around USDA/FSIS 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
Daily FSIS recall ingestion 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
