Logging in
Type your own login number when the app asks. Your name fills in automatically on every log, so we know who did each count. If nobody touches the screen for 5 minutes, the app logs out by itself. Anything you hadn't submitted is lost, so finish and submit before you walk away.
Picking a log
The home screen has 3 big buttons: Meat Log, Sides Log and Hourly Count. You can also use the ☰ menu at the top left to switch logs, see History, read this page or log out. The title bar always shows which log you're on.
Meat Log
- Counts: each box has two numbers: ct (how many pieces) and lb (pounds). Hot is what's in the warmer/line, Cooler is what's in the cooler or warehouse, and Total should equal hot + cooler.
- SOD after Cut is different: the first box is the count (total number of individual meats), and the second, shaded box is backups (how many pre-sliced backup pans are sliced and ready).
- Ribs are counted in slabs, not bones.
- A.M. Warehouse Count: actually weigh what's in the warehouse in the morning. Don't copy last night's number.
- Save PDF: after Submit, or on a Meat Log in History, tap Save PDF to make a PDF of the filled sheet. On a phone pick Google Drive (or Files) from the share list.
- Editing a past log: open History, tap Edit on the entry, fix the numbers and tap Save changes. It saves over that same entry and records who edited it.
- Morning Cook (other meats): two boxes per meat: Reheat and Fresh cooked. The sheet prints them as reheat + fresh.
- Total Cooked Meat: fills in by itself as EOD Hot + Cooler (count and lb). You can't type in it.
- Actual Raw prepped meat: count and pounds of raw meat prepped for brisket, points and pork.
- Pre Cook / Post Cook Weight: raw pounds going in and cooked pounds coming out for brisket, points and pork. The app works out the yield % (cooked ÷ raw).
- Trim: put the trimmer's name, the whole pre-trim count, pounds and cases, then the trimmed flats, points and pork. The app works out trim loss.
- Thaw counts: what to pull for tonight.
Sides Log
- Count sides in pans. SOD = start of day, MADE = pans made today, EOD = end of day. Don't skip MADE.
- The app works out Used = SOD + MADE − EOD, and pounds used: a bean pan is 15 lb, every other pan is 5 lb.
Hourly Count
Each hour has two boxes per item: the top is the count, and the second, smaller shaded box is the number of pre-sliced backup pans.
Submitting
Every tap of Submit saves a new entry. It doesn't change an earlier one. Submit once per log. If you made a mistake, tell a manager instead of submitting again. You can see past entries under ☰ → History.
