The Challenge
Managing our references, our suggestions and knowing by heart all the details about the wines were extremely complex tasks, requiring us to invest a lot of time training our staff.
Moreover, since we had a large, and constantly changing, selection of wines under carefully controlled temperature, there wasn’t a practical and efficient way to highlight those wines on our wine list. Most of the times our waiters had to go and check themselves before advising our patrons.

Owner and Manager
The Experience
We now have a wine management system which can easily be updated, that worked with the specific needs of our refrigerated selection, and that gives us insight about customer behavior when choosing their wine.
InVine also provides the tools to make it 100% tailor made: we needed to group and sort our 1200 wines in a quite particular fashion to make it easier for the patrons selecting wine.
It was also easy and fast to create a customized menu within the list, showing my top 50 picks, which today is something that I put a lot of effort into, and that patrons really appreciate.
