Easy to use administrative tools allow restaurant managers to customize the look and feel of the menu, arrange the order in which items are displayed and add meals for food pairings. Managers can also update pricing, add or delete SKU's and access dashboards to manage inventory and track product sales.

Brandmuscle partnered with WineQuest, the leading provider of Wine Menu Management solutions in North America to develop the application, tapping into WineQuest's propriety beverage database that contains information on over 177,000 wines, beers and spirits including label data, images, product facts, tasting notes, winemaker stories and unique flavor profiles.

"We are excited to partner with brandmuscle on this new digital menu system," said WineQuest's managing partner, Jim Lawless. "The unique combination of our wine expertise and brandmuscle's menu development experience will set a new standard for beverage service in the digital era."

"With the convergence of digital media and local marketing, this was a very logical extension of our business," adds Dave Wilson, brandmuscle's President Beverage Alcohol. "Restaurateurs want to deliver a unique experience for their guests and offering their customers more information on wine and or wine and food parings, allows them to do it. This is also true for spirits and beer. Tablets provide an outstanding delivery mechanism at the table and we're developing complementary mobile applications as well. For over a decade brandmuscle has delivered industry leading technology solutions to empower our clients to more effectively and efficiently execute their local marketing efforts. We are very excited to introduce these new digital technologies and through our partnership with WineQuest, I am confident our digital menu application for tablet devices will be very well-received in the marketplace."
