Curato Spirits

Hundreds of bottles. One right answer.

Four close matches. One wild card. Works across whiskey, tequila, rum, and specialty spirits — from your live inventory, with plain-language flavor notes that don't require the buyer to know what a mash bill is.

Your back bar in. Recommendations out.

Upload your inventory as a CSV. The Curato engine normalizes every bottle into structured attributes — category, age, proof, flavor profile, region. Hard category filter keeps a bourbon buyer in bourbon. Smoke level is a strict dealbreaker — never recommends peated to a non-peated buyer.

Every set includes 4 close matches and 1 wild card — same category, different distillery or region, introducing the buyer to a producer they haven't tried. Allocated bottles surface only as wild card — driving perceived value without breaking the gift purchase.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

All Tiers
01

4+1 Recommendation Engine

Category is a hard filter — whiskey buyers stay in whiskey unless they opt into cross-category. Flavor profile carries primary scoring weight.

All Tiers
02

Smoke Level Dealbreaker

Smoke is binary — never recommends peated Islay to a Speyside drinker, never sneaks a mezcal into a tequila set. One exclusion rule, applied strictly.

All Tiers
03

ABV & Age Proximity

Cask-strength buyers get cask-strength recommendations. Aged statements match buyer expectations. NAS bottles handle gracefully with brand-positioning fallback.

All Tiers
04

Gift Mode

Gift occasion deprioritizes allocated bottles, favors recognizable producers, and adds occasion-appropriate language. Father's Day and holidays drive the bulk of premium spirits sales.

Kiosk + Suite
05

Kiosk / Tablet Mode

Progressive Web App with offline support, touch-optimized UI, idle screen, and orientation-aware layout. Built for the bottle wall.

Full Suite
06

Allocated / Limited Flag

Allocated bottles surface only as wild card. Drives perceived value, prevents disappointment, and keeps your scarcest inventory working as discovery, not noise.

One price. Yours forever.

Final pricing locks at launch. Early access requests get first dibs and the launch rate.

Hundreds of bottles.
One right answer.

Spirits has the highest SKU-to-staff-knowledge ratio of any premium category. A 400-bottle shop can't train every staff member on every expression. Curato closes that gap — works every shift, every gift, every browse.

Frequently asked

What is the Gemini API key and does it cost anything?

Curato Spirits uses Google's Gemini AI to process your catalog into structured data. You get a free API key at aistudio.google.com in about 30 seconds. The free tier covers everything Curato needs, even for catalogs with 2,000+ SKUs. The key is yours permanently and costs nothing.

How long does setup take?

Most retailers are up and running in under an hour. Get your Gemini key, upload your catalog CSV, click Process, configure your brand colors, and embed the widget. The included setup wizard walks through every step.

How big can my catalog be?

Curato handles catalogs of any size. AI processing runs in batches during setup — a 500-product catalog takes about 5 minutes. Once processed, all recommendations are instant from a local database with zero API calls.

Does the kiosk work offline?

Yes. The Kiosk and Full Suite tiers include a Progressive Web App with service worker caching. Once your catalog is loaded, the kiosk works without an internet connection.

Do I need technical skills?

Basic comfort with running commands in a terminal is helpful. The setup wizard handles most of the configuration through a browser interface. If you can copy-paste a script tag into your website, you can embed the widget.

What happens after I buy?

You receive an email with a download link within minutes. The ZIP contains everything: the engine, widget files, setup wizard, and a sample catalog. Install, configure, and go.

What about regulatory compliance for spirits?

Spirits retail regulations vary by state and jurisdiction. Curato is a product discovery tool embedded on your existing storefront — it does not handle shipping, age verification, or compliance. We recommend consulting your legal counsel regarding alcohol display and recommendation rules in your jurisdiction.
