How does MeatGrader help with receiving inspection?

Photograph cuts as they come off the truck. The app rates each one against the regional standard the supplier claimed (USDA, Japanese BMS, AUS-MEAT, Canadian, Korean, EU/UK, Argentine, or Brazilian) and gives you a per-factor breakdown of marbling, color, texture, and fat cap. Sub-spec product gets caught before it goes in your case, with a photo and a score on record.

Can I use it to justify case pricing to customers?

Yes. Each analysis comes with the regional standard, the per-factor scores, and the photo. When a customer asks why a particular cut is at the premium tier, you have evidence, not just a sticker. Pro users also get a butcher's read on quality and storage that's friendly to share with customers.

How accurate is it for high-volume shops?

The model evaluates the same visual factors a professional inspector uses: marbling distribution, lean color, texture, and fat cap. Photo quality and lighting affect results, so well-lit receiving stations and case-area lighting give the most reliable reads. Treat it as one informed input alongside your own eye, especially on premium cuts.

What happens if a supplier disagrees with our reading?

Every analysis is saved with photo, regional standard, per-factor breakdown, and timestamp. Pro users can also re-analyze with their own input if lighting or angle threw off the original read. You walk into the conversation with evidence-backed records, not just a contested opinion.

What does Pro add for a butcher shop?

Unlimited analyses, a cooking guide for every cut you can hand to home-cook customers, a butcher's read on quality and storage, and the ability to argue with the AI when you don't agree. Free covers basic verification with 3 analyses on signup; Pro is $1.99/month for unlimited.

Can I share results with customers or my team?

Yes. Every analysis carries a photo, score, and per-factor breakdown that's shareable. Some shops show the screen at the counter for premium cuts; others save analyses against suppliers and use them in purchasing reviews.
