The Challenge

We want to be the reference in providing the best practices and innovation on the market. Our clientele is extremely demanding.

However, our wine list often didn’t reflect our inventory, and we had stopped showing the exact vintage of each wine, on our wine list.

In addition, whenever we considered changing our wine list, we knew which wines were being sold but we never knew the reasons behind the ones that were sold less often.

We had no information regarding customer preferences and behavior. What questions did they have? How did they choose their wine? Were they completely satisfied with their choice?

The Experience

It took me 2 minutes to know that InVine was the right solution for us and our patrons, even though we would be InVine’s very first client.

From the bamboo and leather cover to the sophisticated look of the digital list, the solution was a perfect match for our premium positioning.

We quickly realized that even our more traditional or senior patrons found the user interface to be both highly sophisticated and extremely intuitive at the same time, and some actually reported that it was easier to read on a backlit device.

With relevant information about our wines, the digital wine list helps patrons make the right choice more often, and gives our staff the ability to focus more on service.

I’ve changed 100% to digital wine list on my 3 restaurants and not only I’m now able to understand the way customers browse and choose wines, I also have an amazing digital wine list. This is the key solution to enhance the great experience Olivier delivers.

Our wine list is now accurate and updated 100% of the time, showing the exact vintage we have in our cellar.

Now that we have analytics from more than 17.000 users, we can also know more about how our patrons navigate our wine list and understand when they are satisfied with their pick.
