Wineries are a great place for consumers to taste and experience the impressive process of wine making. From the grape growing and harvesting, to the fermentation and bottling, there is a whole lot that goes into making one of the world’s favorite beverages. Running a winery business can be very rewarding but challenging at the same time. Some of the challenges winery owners typically face range from the difficulties of growing the grapes and making the wine to finding a comprehensive technology solution that can streamline onsite and online sales and inform customers of allocated bottles, sales, and promotional events.
On the management end of things, you need to be able to meet customer needs while keeping track of back-end operations to assess the cost-effectiveness of your business. And that’s where the use of the right point of sale system steps in. Our winery POS system, KORONA POS, offers a sophisticated solution that can seamlessly work through all the different aspects of the business for a winery’s unique needs.
Our customer’s family-owned business, Truro Vineyards in Cape Cod, is a beautiful winery that has truly benefited from using KORONA POS software. To see their success, we visited their charming vineyard and chatted with co-owner Kristen Roberts and assistant winemaker Bethany Brann all about Truro Vineyards and how KORONA POS helped them scale their business.
