Digital wine list for restaurants
Bring categories, wines and customer-facing details together in an online wine list that the restaurant can update and customers can view in a smartphone browser.
What is a digital wine list?
It is a restaurant wine list organised and published on a dedicated web page. Customers can open it in their smartphone browser and view the available wines with the information made visible by the restaurant. The digital version can be used on its own or alongside a printed wine list.
Organise wines into categories
Wines can be grouped into categories created and ordered by the restaurant. Sparkling, white and red are possible examples rather than required categories: you can define the structure that suits your list, change the order and choose which categories are visible.
What information can you add to the wine list?
Wine identity
Wine name, appellation and vintage.
Origin
Country, region or a custom origin.
Format and price
Bottle format and the selling price shown to customers.
Description
Information about the wine’s characteristics, when enabled in the public configuration.
Allergens
The indications selected for the wine through the dedicated fields.
Image
A photograph associated with the wine, if uploaded by the restaurant.
Update wines and prices when needed
In the builder you can edit an existing wine, move it, hide it or update its information and selling price. The public wine list uses the saved data, so it does not need to be recreated from scratch after each change.
View the wine list from a smartphone
The public version displays the list title, visible categories and active wines. Customers open a web page and use their mobile browser to view the information selected by the restaurant, including the selling price.
Digital wine lists and QR codes
RistoSmart FM Menu generates a dedicated QR code pointing to the wine list’s public address. Updates to categories and wines do not change that address, so the same QR code continues to open the updated list.
Multilingual wine lists
For added languages, you can translate the list title and subtitle, category names, wine description and custom origin. Once a version is complete, customers can select it on the public page; the wine name, appellation, vintage, format and price remain the details associated with that wine.

Digital and printed wine lists
A digital wine list can complement a printed one without forcing the restaurant to use a single viewing method. The online version keeps published information up to date, while the builder can also generate a PDF wine list.
A wine list that is easier to manage
Categories, wines, visibility settings and customer-facing information remain together in one tool. The restaurant can update individual wines while keeping the public page, QR code and PDF wine list consistent.
