Real-Time Wine List Updates: A Game-Changer for Modern Restaurants

In the fast-paced world of hospitality, agility is everything. From adapting to seasonal ingredients to curating wine pairings for a special dish of the day, flexibility can make the difference between a good experience and an unforgettable one. At COENA, we believe that your wine list should work with you—not against you. That’s why hundreds of restaurants and hotels worldwide are using the COENA digital wine list on iPad to stay one step ahead, offering guests a curated experience that’s as dynamic as the service itself.

Update Your Wine List in Seconds—From Anywhere

One of the most powerful features of the COENA platform is the ability to update your wine list instantly, from anywhere—even during service. Whether you’re a sommelier on the floor or a restaurant manager reviewing stock before a busy night, updating your wine list is just a few taps away. Gone are the days of reprinting menus, crossing out unavailable bottles, or apologizing for a vintage that no longer exists.

With COENA, your wine list is always accurate and up to date—so your team can focus on delighting guests, not managing paper.

Wine by the glass selling price

Designed for Sommeliers and Waitstaff

COENA was built with the needs of hospitality professionals in mind. For sommeliers, the ability to reflect seasonal selections, new chef’s pairings, or exclusive wine arrivals in real time allows for a truly responsive wine program. Imagine adding a limited-edition Burgundy or removing a sold-out rosé while standing on the restaurant floor, without disrupting the rhythm of service.

For waitstaff, this means no more second-guessing or explaining inconsistencies between the list and what’s actually in the cellar. The result? Smoother service, more confident recommendations, and happier customers.

Reflect Your Brand with Custom Design

Your wine list isn’t just functional—it’s part of your brand experience. COENA offers full customization so the look and feel of your digital wine list integrates seamlessly into your restaurant’s atmosphere and brand. Whether you run a rustic countryside inn or a sleek urban bistro, your wine list on iPad will reflect your style and elevate the dining experience.

No More Scratched-Out Vintages or Scribbled Prices

Let’s face it—manually updated wine lists with crossed-out bottles, incorrect vintages, or handwritten price changes send the wrong message (see our photo taken from a recent trip in France).

With COENA, your list always looks polished, professional, and ready for guests. And because all iPads in your restaurant are updated simultaneously in real time, you can rest assured that every table sees the same curated selection.
