I happened to go to brunch at a fancy restaurant on New Years Day. They were still updating their wine inventory with a spreadsheet.

Spreadsheets can work but get clumsy really fast. Bottle cost can vary as costs change (case discounts, price changes.. and holding inventory of an item across multiple purchases), audit logging (spelunking into the undo history), multiple staff interacting with the system.. All solved problems, just not at the price point or UX we need at this scale.
