What fractional support looks like
Vino Logic works behind the owner, GM or restaurant manager rather than replacing them. The venue keeps control of daily operations while beverage decisions receive dedicated specialist attention.
- List curation and buying decisions
- Regular margin and COGS review
- Supplier comparison and portfolio strategy
- BTG rotations and stock oversight
- Staff resources and wine training
- Scheduled management calls and decision support
Remote first, operationally useful
Most recurring work can be handled remotely through lists, invoices, sales reports, stock records and scheduled calls. Onsite tastings, training, stock review or planning days can be arranged when useful.
Clear scope before the work begins
Every ongoing engagement should define the deliverables, meeting frequency, response expectations, onsite arrangements and what sits outside the retainer. That protects both the venue and the quality of the work.
Common questions
Is this the same as hiring a sommelier?
No. Fractional support is specialist beverage direction, not a replacement for full-time floor coverage or daily operational management.
How often do we meet?
Meeting frequency is agreed in the scope and depends on the programme and amount of support required.
Can we start with a one-off project?
Yes. A focused Review can be used first to identify priorities before deciding whether ongoing support is useful.
