EXPERTISE BEHIND YOUR TEAM
You run the venue.
We help the wine programme work.
Your managers already have a full service to run. We work alongside them on the list, the numbers and the knowledge, so beverage decisions get the attention they deserve.
For independent venues that value wine, want a clearer commercial picture and need experienced support they can actually use.

A SIMPLE STARTING POINT
Review first.
Then decide.
The Review gives you a clear commercial picture and practical priorities. Implement them internally, or bring Vino Logic in through ongoing Support to make the changes happen and keep the programme moving.

Wine expertise.
Business sense.
Hospitality experience.
Commercial perspective.
Good wine knowledge matters.
Knowing how a venue works matters just as much.
We bring a French wine perspective and around 15 years of hospitality experience to beverage consulting, spanning restaurant management and senior sommelier roles.
Our expertise is grounded in Head Sommelier, Bar Manager and Senior Beverage Management experience in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, London & Paris. We understand the decisions behind a wine programme, and the reality of delivering it during a busy service.
Vino Logic brings that experience to independent owners and managers. We work directly with your team, with remote support and onsite visits arranged around your needs.

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before we talk.
Can we start without a retainer?
Yes. Review is a standalone A$750 engagement. There is no ongoing commitment.
What happens if we want ongoing Support?
If you move into ongoing Support within 14 days of the Review, the full A$750 Review fee is credited towards your first month. Ongoing scope and fees are agreed before work begins.
What does Support cover?
Support can include regular margin and COGS reviews, buying and supplier decisions, BTG rotations, list development, stock review, staff resources and scheduled management calls.
How does remote consulting work?
We use your wine list, supplier costs and available sales and stock records to make informed recommendations. Calls with your owner or manager turn those findings into decisions. Onsite tastings, training and reviews can be arranged separately.
Do you work with our existing manager?
Absolutely. Vino Logic provides beverage expertise behind your team. Your manager remains responsible for daily operations, with clear recommendations and practical resources to support them.
