Case Study: Corkbuzz streamlines 3000+ bottle inventory management with BinWise

Corkbuzz cuts inventory counting time by 85% with BinWise

Corkbuzz Union Square, a wine-centric restaurant owned by Master Sommelier Laura Maniec, manages an inventory of over 3,000 bottles. The Wine Director needed a solution to handle weekly inventory counts quickly and accurately as the sole counter, while also requiring detailed analytics on variance, pour cost, and inventory usage to make informed purchasing and pricing decisions.

The solution was implemented using BinWise, a system created by sommeliers. With BinWise, inventory counting time was reduced to under five hours with zero mistakes, and the system’s automated reports provided crucial, real-time data on sales and costs. This allowed for precise control over cost percentages and shrinkage reduction. As a result of this success, BinWise was adopted across all Corkbuzz locations.
