All the benefits of a Beverage Director without the overhead.

Your beverage program is a huge revenue generator for your establishment. It can literally make or break your business. Today, the need for finance-driven beverage professionals is essential. Acquire was born to meet all of your beverage needs by removing the pressure of hiring a full-time, skilled Beverage Director, which is a commodity that is financially out of reach for most. We promise to be a service that pays for itself, allowing you to hire great service-oriented talent to run your floors rather than searching for a ‘beverage-centric’ person who also understands how to make your business money.

Haley Moore spent 15 years as a sommelier and beverage director in San Francisco. She currently runs the beverage program at Empress by Boon and wrote the core wine list for all nine Piatti locations nationwide. She utilizes her enormous buying power to negotiate deep deals that may not be available to a single stand-alone restaurant.

  • “Haley is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever had the honor to work with. She also just happens to have an incredible work ethic and oh, yeah, also happens to know more than anyone else about wine and beverage. Also, she achieved the rare feat of getting people interested in wine - when even they didn’t know they had the interest to start with. She was able to change the face of our group - not an easy thing for one person to do over so many restaurants.”

    — Doug Washington, Restauranteur & Restaurant Designer

  • “Haley is someone who looks at the whole picture. She is a restaurant person before she is a beverage person. She sees that it is a business; she has respect for the financial side of things. We continued to pay her a full time salary [once she became a consultant] because of the tremendous value she adds.”unch a business
