“We had a short eight weeks to open our restaurant. We knew with Martin’s help the wine program would be wonderfully handled. We opened with the perfect list and an inventory within our budget. The wine staff was recruited, trained, and ready to take the reins. All systems were in place for us to merely follow Martin’s SOPs after the opening. We would never want to open a restaurant without Martin’s extremely valuable involvement!” Andy O’Day, Miller & Lux, Director of Operations
