Increasing your earnings, whilst keeping your regular customers happy.

My wine list reviews are unique for every hospitality business, but the range of packages below will give you a good idea of our pricing structure, so you can judge the value of these reviews to your business.

1 - Refresh package

from just  £799.00

Product and pricing revamp, automatically increasing your average wine spend

Having studied the sales patterns from your existing wine list, I use my industry knowledge and analytics to 

re-structure your list and deliver a higher average spend and more profitable wine list for your business. 

There is no stress and minimal admin involved from your point of view as I only need to change a handful of wines and...

 

these increases are achieved WITHOUT the need for you to

- change suppliers,

- increase house wine prices

or

- verbally up-sell wines to your customers

Using the product portfolio of your existing supplier/s, along with my in-depth knowledge of wine sales patterns, I will make just a few select changes to the structure of your wine list. These strategic adjustments will deliver you an increased average wine spend from your customers, with no forceful up-selling required from your staff. Before making any adjustments, I will evaluate your existing wine list and study your sales patterns. I will then be able to create a more profitable wine list structure for you, whilst taking care to keep your regulars happy with the new list. I also like to study your local competitor’s wine lists to ensure the prices of your key wines are correctly positioned against your competitors.

Often my clients will earn so much more each month after this list review goes live that they’ve covered the cost of my list review in just one month.

The Refresh package can be completed entirely remotely.

Recent reviews have delivered spend increases of up to 11% overall and 15% by the glass
