ORDERING WINE MADE EASY ON APPLE IPAD
Smart CellerFrom seasoned connoisseurs to less-in-the-know patrons in search of a fine wine to pair with their dish, making a selection from the lengthy, leather-bound traditional wine list may often prove to be a daunting task for restaurant patrons. Enter SmartCellarsm. The brainchild of transaction services company, Incentient, LLC, SmartCellarsm has developed a unique approach to displaying a wine list, which has attracted the likes of such Celebrity Chefs and Restaurateurs as Todd English (Olives in New York City), Wolfgang Puck (Cut in Las Vegas, NV), Gordon Ramsey (Claridge’s in London), just to name a few. Tony May’s SD26 in New York City was the first to employ the exciting software; most recently, SmartCellarsm began working with 360 Restaurant at The CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario.
Rather than the traditional printed list, SmartCellarsm is a fully customizable software for the Apple iPad® that displays the complete wine and cocktail menus, featuring up-to-date detailed descriptions, backgrounds and ratings of the labels offered by the restaurant. Patrons can browse, via the device’s easy-to-understand touch-pad links, for wines by name, region, varietal and price; guests can even view an up-close image of the wine bottle’s label. In tandem with the restaurant’s desires, guests may also have the option to order food via SmartCellarsm, view upcoming promotions at the eatery, and/or consider suggested wine pairings according to the dishes ordered.
The sommelier can use SmartCellarsm as a tool to educate guest, or guests can order directly from the lightweight handheld device. The software is configured to each individual restaurant; accordingly its design is an extension of the client’s brand, featuring complementary colors, imagery and logos. As SmartCellarsm functions completely independently of any pre-existing software, integration is seamless. In addition to being a chic, tech savvy addition to the restaurant experience, SmartCellarsm provides valuable data to its clientele— reporting functions give detailed feedback to management to monitor what is selling and what wine guests are ordering most. In addition, an efficient and robust CMS interface allows clients to eliminate printing and production costs for menus and special sheets. Once installed by Incentient, LLC, the restaurant’s management team is able to personally alter the offerings of the restaurant via an easy-to-navigate private log-in site, as needed.
Wine enthusiasts, raise your glass to a new kind of dining experience…cheers!
