ProtechBooks for butchery

Priced by weight,
not by guess.

The scale talks to the till, and the override leaves a trace.

A butchery is a shop where almost nothing has a fixed price. The weight decides the amount, the tray has to come off it, and whoever is behind the counter can change the number. Those three facts are where the money goes.

What matters in this trade

Built for your counter

Digital scales, connected

The scale feeds the till directly. Weight in, price per unit applied, amount out — nobody reads a display and types a number into a different machine.

Tare handled per product

Each product carries its own default tare, so the tray, the bag or the bone-in packaging comes off the weight automatically rather than being remembered.

Overrides that leave a trace

A manual price override is allowed because real counters need it — but it is authorised and recorded. The question stops being whether it happens and becomes who did it and why.

Cold room as its own location

Stock moves from the cold room to the counter as a transfer that is requested and approved, so the front and the back have separate, reconcilable figures.

Variance you can actually see

Stock-takes post the variance rather than absorbing it. For a trade that loses margin in small, daily, invisible amounts, this is the whole point of having a system.

KRA eTIMS built in

Hotels, butcheries supplying restaurants, and anyone selling to a business customer can issue a proper tax invoice from the counter.

What it does not do

  • There is no carcass yield tracking. The system handles weight-based selling and stock by product; it does not break a carcass down into expected yields by cut.
  • If yield analysis per carcass is central to how you buy and price, that is a gap you should know about before a demo rather than after one.
Before you ask

Questions we get

Does it work with a weighing scale?

Yes. Digital scales feed the till directly, with a default tare held per product and price per unit applied automatically. Tell us which scale you have and we will confirm it before you commit to anything.

Can staff change the price at the counter?

Yes, deliberately — a real butchery counter needs it. But the override is authorised and recorded against the person who made it, so it is visible in the audit trail rather than invisible in the till.

How does the cold room work?

As its own stock location. Moving meat to the counter is a transfer request that gets approved, so the cold room and the counter carry separate figures that can be reconciled against each other.

Does it track carcass yield?

No. It handles weight-based pricing and stock at product level, but it does not model a carcass breaking down into cuts with expected yields. If that is the core of how you price, it is a real gap.

What does it cost?
