Re: New wine menu consultation & partnership


Comments:
The owner of the soon to open new restaurant Knight Lyfe was seeking consultation from us at Night Winery to come up with a sample wine menu for the Knight Lyfe restaurant. The owner gave us a pricing range per glass/bottle to range between 6$-25$. The owner gave us descriptions of his food menu which consisted of grilled items, some Mediterranean/spicy dishes and a few of hearty/rich flavor dishes as well. This is a new request for us since we have not done menu consultations but as always we at Night Winery seek to uphold customer satisfaction no matter the task.
We gladly accepted this request through gathered research on our own winery knowledge and researching Knight Lyfe’s competitives prices as well, we came up with a sample menu for Knight Lyfe as a guide to the owner and of course upholding the owner’s request. We’d like to take the time to thank our staff for taking part in this project and through its success we now do wine menu consultation at Night Winery. Below is the sample menu for the entire staff to review and be aware of the addition to Night Winery. This sample can be printed out to use as an example to further customers that seek our help.
 As a reward for our great serves the owner of Knight Lyfe has partnered with Night Winery this means all wine orders will be made through us and all employees will receive 30% discounts to eat at the Knight Lyfe restaurant. We are excited to have partnered with Knight Lyfe and as our company continues to grow we’re gearing to gain more. Thank you so much for all of your hard work to make this possible.
