Editing Multi Choice and Either Or Cuts

This SOP explains how to update Cutsheet builder options so customers can choose between multi-choice and either-or cuts correctly.

Key Steps

1. Identify the cut type and open the option editor 0:11

  • Determine whether the cut should be a multi-choice cut or an either-or cut.

  • Use multi-choice when customers should be able to select multiple listed cuts.

  • Use either-or when customers must choose one option that controls which cuts are available.

  • Open the cut, then select Edit and go to Options to begin making changes.

2. Update option labels and assign the correct cuts 0:41

  • Review the option labels first; these are the names customers see, not the cuts themselves.

  • Remove any option labels you do not need.

  • Rename or keep labels so they clearly describe the choice, such as:

    • Boneless Rib

    • Bone-in Rib

  • Under each option, assign the cuts that should be included when that option is selected.

  • Example setup:

    • Boneless Rib → Rib Eye, Rib Roast (boneless)

    • Grind Rib Roast → leave cuts unselected if the item is being ground

  • Save your changes after assigning the cuts.

3. Add any missing cuts to the catalog before linking them 1:41

  • If a needed cut does not exist yet, create it first in the correct section.

  • Select New Cut and enter the cut name, such as Bone-in Rib Roast.

  • Add the cut to the correct primal or section.

  • If available, use Choose from Library to add the description and picture.

  • Save the new cut before returning to the Cutsheet builder.

4. Link the new cut to the correct option in the builder 2:02

  • Return to the Cutsheet builder and drag the new cut from the catalog into the correct option.

  • Place it under the matching option label, such as Bone-in Rib.

  • Add a clear customer-facing description explaining the choice.

  • Example description:

    • You must select boneless or bone-in, but you are able to select steaks or roast once you make your decision.

  • This helps customers understand what they are selecting and what will be available afterward.

5. Decide whether customers can select cuts within the option 2:34

  • Check the box that allows customers to select cuts within the option if you want them to choose individual cuts separately.

  • Leave the box unchecked if all cuts in that option should be selected together automatically.

  • Use this setting to control whether customers can pick one cut, multiple cuts, or must accept the full grouped selection.

  • Confirm the behavior matches the intended ordering process before saving.

6. Duplicate and adjust the setup for the alternate option 3:03

  • Copy the completed option setup to create the alternate choice.

  • Update the labels and cut names to match the second option.

  • Example:

    • Change Boneless to Bone-in

    • Change Rib Eye Steaks to Rib Steaks if that is the bone-in equivalent

  • Save the updated option so both choices are available in the Cutsheet.

7. Verify the final customer experience in the Cutsheet 3:18

  • Open the Cutsheet as a customer would see it.

  • Confirm both options appear correctly, such as Boneless Rib and Bone-in Rib.

  • Test selecting one option and verify the correct cuts appear.

  • Confirm the opposite option becomes unavailable or unselected as expected.

  • Check the advanced view/end-of-sheet behavior to ensure selections remain consistent.

  • Make sure customers cannot select conflicting options at the same time.

Cautionary Notes

  • Do not confuse option labels with the actual cuts; labels are customer-facing names, while cuts are the items assigned underneath.

  • Add missing cuts to the catalog before trying to assign them in the builder.

  • Be careful when using the select cuts within setting, since it changes whether cuts are chosen individually or grouped automatically.

  • Always test the final setup after saving to confirm the customer experience matches the intended logic.

  • Avoid leaving incorrect cuts assigned to an option, especially when creating boneless vs. bone-in variations.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Copy an existing option setup when creating a similar one to save time.

  • Use clear, simple labels so customers can quickly understand the difference between choices.

  • Add descriptions that explain the decision first, then the available cuts.

  • Save after each major change to avoid losing work.

  • Verify the setup in the live or preview view before publishing changes.
