How does MeatGrader help with deliveries?

Photograph the cuts as they arrive. 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 deliveries get caught with a photo and a score on record before they hit the prep line.

Does it integrate with our POS or inventory system?

Not yet. MeatGrader is a phone app today, designed to be the fastest way to put a quality score on a cut at the receiving dock. Analyses are saved against suppliers in the app so your team can review the history. Direct POS or inventory integrations are on the roadmap.

How accurate is it for high-volume kitchens?

The model evaluates the same visual factors a professional inspector would: marbling distribution, lean color, texture, and fat cap. Photo quality and lighting affect results, so receiving stations with good lighting get the most reliable reads. Use it as one informed input alongside your team's own judgment, especially when accepting premium cuts.

What if the supplier disagrees with our analysis?

Every analysis is saved with the photo, the regional standard applied, the per-factor breakdown, and the timestamp. Pro users can also re-analyze with their own input if they think lighting or angle threw the original read. That gives you evidence-backed records for any conversation with a supplier, not just an opinion.

What does my kitchen team get with Pro?

Unlimited analyses, a cooking guide tailored to each cut and quality level (temperature, time, method, pairings), a butcher's read on quality and storage, and the ability to argue with the AI when you disagree with a result. The free plan covers basic verification with 3 analyses on signup; Pro is $1.99/month for unlimited.

Can multiple shifts share the same account?

MeatGrader is a personal account today, but the analyses you save under one account are visible to that account on any device it signs in to. Multi-user team accounts for kitchens are on the roadmap; for now most kitchens have a dedicated receiving account that the team logs into on the receiving dock.

Why Restaurants Use MeatGrader

Independent quality control for your kitchen

Your menu prices and reputation depend on serving the cuts you promise. Verify what arrives, document what you served.

Verify every supplier

Confirm incoming cuts match the spec you ordered. Sub-spec deliveries get caught before they hit service, with a photo and a score on record.

Six grading systems

USDA, CBGA, JMGA/BMS, MSA/AUS-MEAT, KAPE plus MeatGrader Quality. Whatever your supplier ships, the matching standard is applied.

Per-supplier history

Every analysis is saved against the supplier. Build an evidence-backed quality record over months, not anecdotes.

Same standard, every shift

Whoever signs for a delivery uses the same regional system, the same factor breakdown. Sous chef checks the same way the head chef would.

Menu accuracy

When the menu says Prime, you can prove it. When a cut isn't up to spec, the kitchen knows before the plate goes out.

Document everything

Photos, per-factor scores, regional system, timestamp, supplier. Evidence-backed records ready for any conversation about quality.
