About this calculator
Determine how many wine SKUs your restaurant should stock by glass and bottle based on covers per week, wine attach rate, and desired variety depth.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is wine attach rate?
Wine attach rate is the percentage of total covers (guests) that order at least one wine item during their visit.
How does variety depth affect the recommendation?
A higher variety depth setting increases the number of distinct SKUs recommended per volume of wine ordered, reflecting a more extensive, curated list versus a lean, high-turnover list.
Should fine dining restaurants use a higher depth setting?
Yes, fine dining and wine-focused concepts typically use depth settings of 7-10, while casual concepts with faster turnover often use 2-4.
