What We Do
EDUCATE
At Respite, we don’t believe in a person-dependent wine program. The more empowered your staff is, the more wine they will sell. So we created an industry-leading education program that not only informs your staff about wine, but teaches them how to sell it. And unlike other wine consultancies, we don’t stop there. We give your management team Ask Sheets to help guide and reinforce wine knowledge with your staff nightly.
CURATE
Here’s the reality: ego-driven wine programs cost you money. So we find the best wines for your restaurant, not our egos. Our measure of success is your sales increasing and your cost of goods decreasing. We call it the win-win-win.
ALLEVIATE
We smooth out the kinks. We increase your wine sales and lower costs. We train your staff. We’ll even mentor your floor sommelier. And the best part? We won’t leave for a “better paying” restaurant. We are the last Wine Director you’ll ever hire.
