Winevizer and COENA both digitize your restaurant’s wine list, but with different approaches: COENA bets on a native iPad app at the table, Winevizer on a QR code the customer scans with their own smartphone, with a customer-facing virtual sommelier. Here is what sets them apart — clear and factual.

COENA in brief
COENA offers a digital wine list as a native iPad app, designed to be used at the table like a traditional menu — augmented. The solution displays up to 6 languages (FR/EN/DE/IT/ES/NL), includes a stock management module, an AI cellar assistant for the operator, and a QR code/PDF module. Announced pricing from €15/month. Setup in 48 hours, native integration with around 30 POS systems. COENA also publishes its own comparison page with Winevizer.
Winevizer in brief
Winevizer takes a different path: the customer scans a QR code at the table with their own smartphone — no app to install, no iPad to buy — and gets a virtual sommelier suggesting food-and-wine pairings matched to their dish and budget. A tablet is possible as an option, but never required. Native FR/EN/NL. Single price at €24.99/month, no commitment, with a one-month free trial.

When to choose COENA
If your venue is already equipped with iPads and you want to present the customer a menu at the table from the moment they sit down — like a traditional menu, augmented — COENA is a good choice. The price-to-feature ratio from €15/month is attractive. The 6-language coverage can make a difference if you welcome a significant German-, Italian- or Spanish-speaking clientele, and native integration with 30+ POS systems simplifies setup for already-equipped venues.
When to choose Winevizer
If you do not want to buy or manage tablets — or if you simply want to complete your existing setup with a QR code — Winevizer fits better. Most importantly, if you want your customers to receive a personalized wine recommendation without tying up your staff, the virtual sommelier is the key difference: it suggests pairings to the end customer, where COENA’s AI is more about cellar management on the operator side. No commitment, with a one-month free trial to test the solution in your venue before deciding.
