Case Study: Union Square Cafe saves hours on wine inventory with BinWise

Union Square Cafe saves 8 hours per inventory with BinWise

Union Square Cafe, a long-running and award-winning restaurant, faced the challenge of manually managing its extensive beverage program of over 1,400 wine bottles with only spreadsheets. This process was highly time-consuming and prone to errors, prompting their search for a better system. They ultimately selected the BinWise beverage inventory management platform to address these issues.

The solution implemented by BinWise completely streamlined their inventory process, allowing the team to count faster and without mistakes. According to their Wine Director, BinWise saves at least eight hours per inventory count—a full workday. The platform also provides real-time cost of goods sold tracking for better financial control and features an easy-to-use interface that simplifies employee training. Due to its success, other restaurants within the Union Square Hospitality Group have also adopted BinWise.
