Informative Media Group launched Restaurant Standards, a hospitality training platform built on published evaluation criteria from Forbes Travel Guide, Michelin, and AAA recognition.

Informative Media is a hospitality and beverage technology company. We build software for restaurant groups, hotels, resorts, and beverage teams, and we operate the content network that brings those buyers to us. The company was founded by a 20-year hospitality veteran whose career as a wine director spanned some of the most decorated restaurants and resorts in the country. Every product starts from the same premise: operators pursuing the highest standards in the industry deserve tools built by someone who has worked at that level. The Application Layer RestaurantStandards.com is a white-label training and operations platform for restaurant and hospitality groups pursuing Forbes Travel Guide, Michelin, and AAA recognition. It delivers the service frameworks, standards, and performance benchmarks those programs evaluate, deployable under the client's own brand. BeveragePulse is a trend intelligence platform for beverage directors. It combines conversation volume, search velocity, cultural traction, and a proprietary index of curated industry and retail sources into a single Brand Signal score per product, so programs can see movement before it shows up in sales data. Somm.Tips is a recommendation engine that pairs wines and cocktails to the moment, helping guests and shoppers decide what to drink without the pretense that keeps most people out of the conversation. The Information Layer Somm.Site, Beverage.fyi, and Hospitality.fyi publish long-form, professional-grade content on wine, beverage, and hotel and restaurant operations. Together they reach industry professionals, aspiring sommeliers, and enthusiasts, and they are how many of our clients first find us. Cuisine.fyi joins the network in 2027.
