Virtual sommelier · Restaurant

Recommend the right wine to every guest, without a wine expert on the floor

A button-driven interface that matches the guest's tastes and the dishes on your menu against your cellar in real time. No hallucinations, and never a wine that is not in stock.

How it works

A recommendation in 3 steps

A 100% button-driven interface: no free chat, no typing, no waiting for an LLM.

1

The guest scans the QR code

At the table on their smartphone, or on the server's tablet. No app to install, it opens straight in the browser.

2

They pick a path

By dish (food and wine pairing) or by taste (3 to 4 questions: color, tannin, fruitiness, budget).

3

3 to 5 recommended wines

Only wines available in your cellar, ranked by relevance. A detailed sheet for each wine (grape, region, notes, pairing).

Use cases

5 situations where it makes a difference

From the first-time wine buyer to the tasting menu: the virtual sommelier covers every type of guest in your dining room.

The guest who doesn't know wine

No prior knowledge needed: the guided path makes choosing easy without putting the guest on the spot.

The server in the rush

The evening peak. Guests serve themselves via QR code, or the server filters the list in 10 seconds on a tablet.

The couple with opposite tastes

He wants a full-bodied red, she prefers a mineral white. The system suggests bridging wines or a two-glass solution: no one has to give in.

The guest exploring beyond their comfort zone

"I usually order Bordeaux, but…" Taste equivalences across regions help move the wines that are asked for less often.

The tasting menu

Asparagus, game, strong cheeses: precise pairings based on aromatic profiles. It strengthens your restaurant's positioning.

What sets us apart

Why not a free-form AI chat like ChatGPT?

Several competitors offer a chat plugged into a generic LLM. Our 4 reasons for not doing it:

Real availability

Only recommends wines actually in stock in your cellar. Never a bottle you no longer have.

Brand consistency

Your sommelier identity (niche wines, specific terroirs) comes through. A generic LLM would lean toward the best-known wines.

GDPR compliance

No guest data is sent to OpenAI or Anthropic. Everything stays within the Winevizer ecosystem.

Speed

Three buttons and the recommendation appears. No 15-second wait while an LLM generates text.
