Questions about SipSavior? Start here.

SipSavior is a branded restaurant menu and digital sommelier. Diners scan a QR code, browse your real food and beverage menus, and receive ranked food-and-drink pairings with an explanation of why each match works.

It is designed for restaurants, bars, breweries, tasting rooms, hotels, and hospitality groups that want to improve beverage discovery, menu engagement, and average ticket size without requiring diners to install an app.

A restaurant can create its account, import menus, choose a brand style, and publish a diner link in one working session. Larger menus and detailed POS mapping may take additional time to review.

No. Diners open the restaurant's public SipSavior link in their browser. They do not need a login, download, or SipSavior account.

Yes. The dashboard includes mobile and desktop previews on the main design and menu pages, and View your site opens the live diner experience in a separate tab.

You can add dishes and drinks manually or use AI Import. Imported rows remain editable, so the owner can correct names, descriptions, categories, prices, service periods, and photos before publishing.

The importer supports menu photos and common document formats used by restaurants, including image-based menus and PDFs. Results depend on source quality, so clear, straight, high-resolution files work best.

Yes. The importer can extract menu text from many public restaurant URLs, including pages whose menus are rendered dynamically. Website designs vary, so the extracted rows should always be reviewed before saving.

Website import focuses on menu text. Photos can be uploaded separately to the appropriate dish, drink, wine, beer, cocktail, Happy Hour, or Branding section.

Yes. Imported items become normal menu records. You can change every field, replace or remove a photo, adjust availability, place an item on Happy Hour or Brunch, map it to POS, hide it, or delete it.

Yes. Menu items support meal-period availability. Those selections are saved with the item so the diner menu can present the appropriate food for the selected service period.

A diner taps a dish and SipSavior ranks the best available drinks from that restaurant's saved inventory. Results include a top pick, additional choices, and a plain-language reason specific to the dish and drink.

Yes. Pair Food reverses the flow. SipSavior ranks the restaurant's best menu dishes for the selected drink while also showing tasting notes, style, region, story, and other drink details.

The pairing logic considers factors such as acidity, sweetness, tannin, body, aroma, intensity, finish, preparation, sauce, seasoning, richness, and texture. It is instructed to explain the actual complement or contrast rather than give generic praise.

Pairing results are constrained to the restaurant's saved drink list and applicable filters. Reverse food pairings are constrained to the restaurant's saved food menu.

Yes. Depending on the page and available inventory, diners can filter by drink type, wine style, glass or bottle, food or drinks, category, and service-specific menus.

Yes. The Pairing Review tools let the owner evaluate recommendations. Diner pairing feedback and order activity can also be used to understand which recommendations are working.

Yes. Branding controls include themes, typography, primary and accent colors, button colors, text colors, logo uploads, background images, navigation visibility, mobile navigation imagery, footer settings, and layout options.

Yes. Style Studio can analyze an uploaded logo's strongest colors and recommend a coordinated theme. The owner can continue adjusting every suggested color afterward.

Available experiences include Home, Menu, Drink & Food Pairing, Our Story, Wines, Beers, Craft Cocktails, Happy Hour, Brunch, reviews, and newsletter sign-up components. Navigation visibility is controlled separately from whether a page is enabled.

Yes. The Branding dashboard controls which destinations appear in the top navigation and mobile hamburger menu. Bottom-dock items can be enabled independently, and hidden items are removed rather than leaving empty spaces.

Yes. Many sections have explicit visibility controls. Hero primary and secondary buttons can be hidden while retaining their labels and destinations, and optional sections can be turned off without deleting their content.

Yes. Hero, page, banner, story, review, menu, wine, beer, cocktail, Happy Hour, and pairing backgrounds are designed to scale across desktop and mobile. Banner 2 can also use video.

Admins select food and drinks for Happy Hour, set schedule details, upload or import a Happy Hour menu, control card imagery and colors, and publish a filtered diner page. Pairings on that page remain scoped to Happy Hour items.

Yes. Food selected on the Menu page and drinks selected on the Drinks page can automatically appear in Happy Hour, avoiding duplicate entry.

Brunch has its own weekend schedule, menu selections, imported menu, and pairing context. The automatic Home Hero service button can point diners to Brunch while it is active.

The Wines page can display imported or manually added wines, photos when available, bottle or glass service, type filters such as red, white, and sparkling, pairing actions, customizable colors, background imagery, and list or swipe views.

Yes. Each has its own page configuration, saved drink list, card editing, category filters, imagery, background, pairing actions, and responsive live preview.

Yes. The QR dashboard creates persistent table records in DynamoDB and generates a unique link such as ?table=12 for each one. The table survives refreshes and is attached to visits and new orders from that scan.

Orders appear in the POS Dashboard, a touch-friendly live queue that shows the saved QR table, ticket number, drinks, food, notes, elapsed time, total, POS reference, and fulfillment status.

The screen automatically checks for new orders every three seconds while visible. Staff can also refresh manually. Status changes are saved immediately.

Yes. The POS Dashboard uses large touch targets and responsive queue/detail layouts for iPad, desktop, and mobile. Staff can start, mark ready, complete, move back, or reopen tickets.

Square is the active POS integration. Restaurants can connect a Square location, map saved food and drink records to catalog items, and create open orders that staff can finish in Square.

Toast, Clover, TouchBistro, SpotOn, Lightspeed Restaurant, Shift4 Dine, Cake POS, Revel Systems, Lavu, Epos Now, and SumUp are displayed as coming soon. Availability may change as integrations complete.

With Square, SipSavior creates an open order workflow. The restaurant staff remains responsible for reviewing, serving, and closing payment through its normal POS process.

Analytics summarizes diner visits, pairing activity, selections, order intent, submitted orders, popular food and drinks, table attribution, and feedback signals so owners can focus on actionable beverage and menu performance.

Yes, when the diner entered through a saved table QR. The table identifier is passed into the order and shown prominently in the POS Dashboard. Orders created before table tracking or without a table remain labeled as not provided.

Restaurants can enable reviews, collect ratings and comments, optionally record what the diner ordered, moderate submissions, and display approved reviews in a customizable section.

Yes. Admin controls include text and star colors, button colors, background color or image, overlay strength, card color and opacity, and review-card height.

Yes. A restaurant can configure a Google review handoff shown consistently to diners who reach the relevant moment. The feature is designed to avoid review gating based on whether a guest gave a positive or negative rating.

Yes. Restaurants can enable a branded newsletter sign-up footer. Subscriber records are available in the dashboard for authorized restaurant admins.

Yes. SipSavior offers a 14-day free trial. Current checkout terms are shown before starting, and billing details should always be confirmed on the Pricing and checkout pages.

Current standard plans are Starter at $99/month and Growth at $299/month. Limits and included features are shown on the Pricing page, and multi-location options are available by contacting SipSavior.

The standard pricing page describes month-to-month subscriptions. Billing changes, payment methods, cancellation status, and invoices are managed through the secure billing portal.

Yes. Restaurant menu, drink, branding, QR, order, review, analytics, and integration records are tenant-scoped. Dashboard APIs resolve the signed-in restaurant rather than accepting an arbitrary restaurant ID from the browser.

Structured restaurant records are stored in AWS DynamoDB. Uploaded assets use protected cloud object storage and are delivered through display URLs rather than being embedded into database records.

No. Saved table definitions are loaded from DynamoDB through no-store dashboard APIs. QR pixels are regenerated from the durable table ID and current public restaurant URL.
