Most restaurants can't afford a sommelier

A full-time sommelier costs $60K-$120K per year. Independent consultants charge $3K-$8K monthly. For 80% of restaurants, expert wine guidance is simply out of reach.

01

Wine lists go stale

Without expertise, menus stay the same for months. Seasonal pairings, trending regions, and better-margin bottles get overlooked.

02

Staff can't sell what they don't know

Servers default to "the house red" because no one trained them on tasting notes, food pairings, or upselling premium wines.

03

Revenue left on the table

Wine margins average 300-400%. Every missed recommendation is money walking out the door.

04

Inventory blind spots

Bottles pass peak drinking windows. Dead stock accumulates. Purchasing decisions are based on habit, not data.

Not a tool. An employee.

Vinguard doesn't wait for instructions. It works.

What Vinguard manages

Wine List Curation

Analyzes your cuisine, clientele, and price positioning to build a wine list that maximizes both guest satisfaction and margin. Suggests additions, removals, and vintage updates.

Food Pairings

Matches every menu item to the right wines from your list, with alternatives at different price points. Updates when dishes change.

Cellar Management

Tracks inventory levels, drinking windows, and restocking needs. Flags bottles approaching peak and dead stock eating into your margins.

Staff Training

Generates tasting note cheat sheets, wine region primers, and upselling scripts tailored to your specific list. Delivered weekly.

Market Intelligence

Monitors wine trends, emerging regions, and pricing shifts. Recommends when to stock up on a rising vintage or pivot away from an overpriced appellation.

Every restaurant deserves a world-class wine program

Vinguard is built by a sommelier who knows what restaurants actually need. Not another wine app for consumers. An autonomous agent that does the work a $100K hire would do, at a fraction of the cost. The future of wine service isn't human or AI. It's both.
