Butchery counter in Kenya
A small butchery counter selling inspected meat by agreed cuts and weights, with strict separation of handling tasks.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional qualified butchery-counter day: twelve 1 kg net boneless beef orders of one agreed cut from inspected traceable supply. Cutting is done by a trained operator in appropriately authorized premises; this is not slaughter or carcass inspection instruction. The budget buys 13 kg boneless stock, targeting 12 kg accepted orders and 1 kg identified trim/remaining stock, not unexplained loss.
Who is the first customer?
Neighbourhood households and meal businesses.
