# GrowTak User Guide

> Everything you need to run your poultry contract-farming operation in GrowTak — from setting up masters to closing batches and settling Grower Contract (GC) payments.

GrowTak is a poultry farm management system for **broiler contract farming**. It helps an integrator (the company) and its field supervisors run the full lifecycle of every flock — placing chicks, recording daily feed and mortality, tracking feed and medicine stock, lifting birds for sale, and settling the Grower Contract (GC) payment with each farmer.

This guide is written for two kinds of users:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Company admin / owner" icon="user-tie">
    Sets up the company, masters, users, GC schemes, and reports. Has full access to every batch and every screen.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Field supervisor" icon="person-walking">
    Visits farms and records daily entries, mortality, weights, medicines, and lifting — usually on a mobile phone. Sees only the batches assigned to them.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Throughout the guide, tasks that are admin-only are marked with an <Icon icon="user-tie" /> note, and field tasks are marked with an <Icon icon="person-walking" /> note.

  Screenshots in this guide come from a demo company. Your screens may show different labels, logo, and colours — GrowTak lets each company rename transaction types and customise its menu. Where a label is configurable, the guide uses the **default** name.
