Winevizer and Somm’it are two French solutions that do not meet the same need: Somm’it is first of all cellar and beverage management software connected to the till, which can also publish the list by QR code or PDF. Winevizer is a digital wine list built for the guest, with a virtual sommelier that suggests a wine to them. Here is what sets them apart, based on verifiable public information.

The differences that matter
- Core product: Somm’it presents itself as a platform that helps restaurants and sommeliers manage beverages day to day. Winevizer focuses on the list the guest reads.
- Point of sale: Somm’it announces an integration with 14 point-of-sale systems, which updates stock at every sale. Winevizer integrates with Lightspeed Retail, Zelty and l’Addition, and with other systems through HubRise (integration details).
- Advice for the guest: Winevizer offers a virtual sommelier aimed at the guest. We found no description of one on Somm’it’s public pages.
Somm’it in brief
Somm’it is a SaaS platform designed and built in France. According to its website, it helps restaurants and sommeliers manage beverages: stock updated at every sale through the till integration (14 systems announced), a reference base of more than 500,000 beverages, an iOS and Android mobile app, and distribution of the list by QR code or printable PDF. The vendor announces an average of +20% profitability for restaurant and cellar professionals. It offers free, no-commitment demos, and a free access tier exists. We did not find a price list on the site.
Winevizer in brief
With Winevizer, the guest scans a QR code at the table with their own smartphone, with no app to install and no tablet to buy. They reach the wine list and the virtual sommelier, which suggests a wine suited to their dish and budget. Winevizer is available in French, English and Dutch, at €24.99 excl. VAT per month with no commitment (or €249.90 excl. VAT per year), with a free one-month trial.

Cellar management or a guest-facing list: the real choice
The two tools overlap on one point: the list published by QR code. They start from different problems, though. Somm’it starts from stock: knowing what is left, updating the list at every sale, tracking profitability. Winevizer starts from the moment the guest chooses: helping them find a wine for their dish without calling on floor staff.
The question to ask yourself: is your current difficulty running your cellar, or guiding your guests’ choice in the dining room? The two are not mutually exclusive, and a venue may need both.
When to choose Somm’it
Somm’it suits you if your priority is day-to-day stock and beverage management, with automatic updates at every sale from your till, and if a mobile app for your team is useful. The free access tier lets you try it with no commitment.
When to choose Winevizer
Winevizer suits you if you want your guests to get a wine suggestion for their dish without calling on your staff, with no tablet to buy and no app to install, a public price with no commitment, and a one-month trial to test in your venue before deciding.
