Services for Restaurants

The Wine Coaches help restaurant owners and their staff to select, present and promote wines to enhance the dining experiences of their clientele. Certified sommeliers and authors of Clueless about Wine, Richard Kitowski and Jocelyn Klemm provide staff training and wine program management services, including:

• Interactive workshops
• Wine buying recommendations
• Wine pricing strategies
• Wine list design
• Wine inventory management

The Wine Coaches conduct interactive workshops to help your staff with their wine knowledge, food and wine pairing principles, and wine service. Improved wine knowledge helps staff to guide clientele to wines that enhance the dining experience.

The Wine Coaches help to improve the sales and profitability of your wine program. They provide an assessment of your wine list, with recommendations on buying strategies, pricing strategies, and "hot zone" additions, consistent with the menu and style of your establishment. They assist with sourcing hard-to-find wines. They design wine lists, and can manage list updates for you.

The Wine Coaches also help with cellar management and cost control. They recommend stock levels, systems for cellar organization, and tracking programs to control the quality and cost of wines served by the glass.
