Eli's dream of transitioning from being a waiter to taking over his uncle's restaurant and catering business was just that because money was tight.   Some of the restaurant's equipment was old and sometimes inefficient.  Their wine bottle opener often shredded corks occasionally resulting in big clients who happened upon the restaurant leaving disappointed.  One afternoon, they got a call from the CEO of the city's only Fortune 500 company.  He was hosting an important dinner and because he started small, he made a practice of giving small establishments a chance.  

Knowing things had to be perfect, Eli took some of his savings and purchased the (brand name) 3 in 1 Wine Bottle Opener to bring to the restaurant.  It was durable, easy to use, and could open beer bottles in addition to wine bottles.   Best of all the cork screw centered itself for insertion and didn't stick which eliminated their crumbling cork issues.  The dinner was a success and now business is booming.  This simple device made an enormous difference allowing Eli and his family to confidently serve their customers whether at a tailgate before a college football game or a wine tasting event at the famous Biltmore Estate.
