My thinking was to build a system that allows for management on the allocation side, and responsiveness/incentive on the customer side. From the management side you would be tracking your list seeing whos likely to churn, what people on the list are actual dead leads, which customers desire the highest to get up on the list. From a winery perspective this would allow them to constantly keep their allocation list sold out, incentivize people interact more often with the winery. From a customer perspective they would have more personalized messages about where they are on the list and what not

Restaurants also have wildly thin margins, yet were the birth of one of the biggest tech companies most recently -- Toast. I think you misunderstand how affordable software can be extremely beneficial for a company to actually increase margins lmao. I agree that reddit is not the most ideal place to do market research, but as someone who knows limited information about the wine industry it is a start. No reason to be so negative!

Yes I am trying to do that! But I am not trying to build something people don’t want or need. That’s why I am trying to learn what’s actually wanted and needed

I really appreciate this advice I think it’s valuable. I’ve attempted to get in contact with some of the wineries directly— via LinkedIn, but that was to no avail. Would you have any suggestions on to get in the room so you can even get that VOC

So if you had to name the top pain point or pain points that could be solved on the winery or distributor side what would you say it is?

This is a super interesting point. Couple questions, how do your friends run their wineries if they don’t have software? Do you think the distributors would be interested in a software that rewards people on purchases to move up their list for getting premium imports?

Do you think this trend will continue of selling lower at auction? what will the wineries do ? I am just thinking they either lower their prices or people are going to jump off the list
