Alba
Beverage automation for fine dining

From low-stock alert to delivered. In one tap.

Alba reads your sales, drafts the order, and texts your rep the moment you tap A. Eight distributors. One tap.

What today looks like

“The Sassicaia is at one bottle and the rep won't pick up before service.”
“I forgot to send the order for Friday and now I'm stuck without Champagne for the weekend.”
“I have no idea what we sold by the glass last month.”

Beverage inventory is the part of running a restaurant that nobody fixes — because it sits between the POS, the spreadsheet, and the phone. Alba lives in the gap.

How it works

Three moving parts. The rest is yours.

1

Watch

Alba reads your sales and tracks what's left, what's running low, and what's about to hit zero. Par levels and reorder thresholds you can tune any time.

2

Propose

When something is below the line, Alba builds a proposal — three sized options that respect the distributor's minimum order, cutoff time, and delivery calendar. You get it in the app, by text, or by email — wherever you actually look first.

3

Send

Reply A, B, or C — or tap the button. Alba writes the order to the rep, tracks the delivery, asks if it arrived, and updates inventory automatically when you say yes.

What makes Alba different

Things a POS dashboard can't tell you.

Stockouts prevented

Acceptance rate, time-to-respond, on-time delivery per distributor, count of critical alerts you caught in time. The numbers your POS can't see — because Alba is the one moving the orders.

A sommelier in your pocket

An AI that knows your stock, your prices, your distributor, your last 90 days of sales. Ask 'which Barolo gave me the best margin in March?' or 'suggest five Italian whites I'm under-represented on.' It answers like a friend, not a chatbot.

Wherever you live

The app on your phone, the web on your laptop, a text when you're on the floor, an email for the record. Same conversation, same intelligence — Alba meets you where you already look. Your rep needs nothing: the order arrives by text and email with a one-tap confirm.

Distributor-aware from day one

Cutoff calendars, delivery windows, minimum order thresholds, sales unit (bottle vs case), payment terms. Alba's proposals respect all of it — so the rep never says 'you didn't make minimum.'

Who Alba is for

Boutique cellars in fine dining.

Restaurants where the wine list matters as much as the menu. Where the by-the-glass program needs nudging weekly, the by-the-bottle list moves seasonally, and the rep relationship matters. 30 to 80 cover dining rooms. 50 to 500 SKUs. Italian, French, Spanish, German, American — wherever your cellar leans.

If you sell more domestic light beer than wine, Alba isn't for you.

Pricing

Three plans, pay when it works.

Free tier to try. Standard for the automated proposals + delivery flow. Pro for multi-manager and custom thresholds. No credit card to start; we quote per restaurant when it's time to upgrade.
