Partnership Helps Customers Eliminate Errors, Keep Wine Lists Fresh and Dynamic
June 22, 2011 — Adaco and WineQuest have formalized a partnership that has successfully
integrated optimized hospitality procurement with Adaco .NET and WineQuest’s database
of more than 140,000 wines. The announcement was made at the HITEC 2011 conference,
in its second day at the Austin Convention Center.
The WineQuest database is the most consistent and accurate database in the industry,
minimizing duplicate and misspelled products while including relevant information
such as proper international language characters. The wines are uniquely flavor
profiled to reduce the guest’s intimidation factor, enable progressive wine lists,
and design lists to minimize dead stock. Last year, WineQuest launched a database
for beer and spirits that adheres to the same accuracy standards as the wine database.
“WineQuest is designed for food operations that value wine menu quality and strive
to improve their guest experience through maintenance of fresh, dynamic wine lists,”
said WineQuest’s Client Partner Jim Lawless. “This partnership is a natural since
our customers consistently see increased wine sales, eliminate time-consuming data
entry errors and improve the overall bottom line.”
“This partnership brings a new dimension to beverage management with Adaco .NET,”
said Adaco’s Business Development Vice President Frank Walbridge. “With WineQuest
you are populating your inventory system by referencing the most accurate wine database
in the world. By having such an accurate record you will increase purchasing efficiency
while those with multiple properties can see how brands are moving across all locations
and leverage that knowledge in their wine buys.”
The partnership helped Ritz-Carlton gain better control of wine costs and category
wine sales to drive more effective product purchasing and inventory levels. The
companies have other customers in common including Starwood, Wyndham, and Marriott
International. Visit Adaco at booth 515 at this year’s HITEC show in Austin and
see how the Wine Inventory Management Module integrates seamlessly with the Adaco
.NET hospitality inventory system to accurately track and more vigorously sell your
wine products.
