Kitchen help

As computer tablets replace paper menus at restaurants, one entrepreneur says the technology can be use for more than just picking wine.

Uptown Network, a Naples-based company started by technology entrepreneur Jack Serfass two years ago, provides restaurants with the software to replace wine lists and menus.

This isn't just gee-whiz technology to wow the customer. Restaurants are seeing sharp increases in spending by customers who follow the helpful wine selections that pair vintages with food.
