Company background
We discovered that all restaurants were using Excel to manage their wine cellar. Why weren’t they using something better?
Vinify is the result of an ongoing development collaboration with the restaurants and wine bars that use Vinify.
Our goal is that restaurants should save time on cellar management, be more in control and make more money.
If you start using Vinify, we’d love to hear what you think.
