The Day-to-Day of a Sommelier Consultant, in Images
What you'll deliver to each client restaurant: lists, beverage cost, technical sheets, floor training, and cellar HACCP.
About these images: they are visual references, not the final hero photos
When an AI agent generates an image, it serves to illustrate the idea of the dish, drink, dessert or sub-prep: it helps you sense check volume, texture, plating, tableware and the visual math of the concept. The definitive photo of the recipe cost card or tech sheet is the one you take of your real dish, plated in your own kitchen.
Every recipe and creative-content AI agent offers an option at the end of the workflow to generate an image with Nano Banana 2 (the dedicated AI agent for images starts from scratch with its own steps). You can generate the first one and then as many variants as you need, including sub-preps — not just the final plate.
After generating a recipe, cost card or any content, you can download the output as CSV, PDF or Word and add your real photo when you cook the dish in service.

"I used to advise 4 restaurants a year on their wine program because every audit took 3 weeks. With AI Chef Pro I advise 10 a year with the same technical depth. My client gets a new list, floor training, and cellar HACCP in the same engagement."

Frequently Asked Questions from Sommelier Consultants
How much does a sommelier charge to create a wine list?
Independent sommelier consultants in the US/UK typically charge $300–1,000/day for wine list creation work, or $1,500–5,000 for a complete wine list build (research + selection + descriptions + pairing notes + staff training session). Hourly rates run $150–400/hour. Master Sommeliers (Court of Master Sommeliers diploma holders) and Master of Wine candidates command the upper end. Monthly retainers for fine dining venues or luxury hotels range $2,500–7,500/month. AI Chef Pro reduces the wine list audit and rebuild cycle from 3 weeks to 1 week.
What is the difference between a sommelier and a wine consultant?
A sommelier is the in-venue wine professional (employed by a restaurant or hotel) responsible for designing the wine list, training the floor team, recommending pairings tableside, managing the cellar and ensuring proper service technique. A wine consultant works as an external advisor on a project basis — auditing wine programs, building lists for new openings, conducting beverage cost analysis, training teams for clients across multiple venues, and advising private collectors. Many sommelier consultants combine both: working part-time at a flagship venue while consulting for others. AI Chef Pro is designed for the consultant pattern.
