Animals to cuts to register. Here's how to drive every part of it.
Where to start
Mid-shift, need to do a specific thing?
Jump straight to the Core Workflows section. Each article is a focused, step-by-step guide for one task — intake, cut sheets, pack & label, bulk batches, charcuterie, sale orders, pickups, POS.
Inspector at the door?
Compliance docs live in Compliance & HACCP — cooler temps, HACCP CCPs, sanitation, and how to print an inspector-ready report in under a minute.
Setting up the shop?
Settings & admin covers service-product pricing, cut-sheet templates, species defaults, user permissions, wholesale pricelists, and multi-location.
Watching shop health?
Operations dashboard and Reports — yield per carcass, hunter donations, pounds processed, ready-for-pickup tiles.
Stuck?
Troubleshooting covers the things that go sideways most often. If it’s not there, email [email protected].
What Cleaver is, in one paragraph
Cleaver is butcher-shop software that runs your whole operation from animal intake to the register. Carcasses, customer cut sheets, scale-driven pack labels, MRP for smoke / cure / sausage, POS, compliance records, and dry-age tracking — all in one system, no spreadsheets. This documentation covers how to use each part day-to-day. For sales and pricing information, see cleaverapp.com.
