5 Energy Mistakes That Are Draining Your Profits

Don’t let the costs catch you off guard this season! We’ve rounded up 5 super-easy, budget-friendly energy-saving hacks that can help your hospitality business cut costs without breaking a sweat.

1. 💡 Swap Out for Smart Lighting

Did you know that switching to LED bulbs could cut your lighting costs by up to 90%? That’s serious cash savings for something as simple as changing a lightbulb! Plus, they last a lot longer than regular lightbulbs.

2. 🌡️ Defrost

Defrosting should be carried out every two months as a minimum. This saves energy and prolongs the lifetime of equipment. Check door seals on cold rooms, fridges and frozen food stores and replace if damaged.

3. 🍳 Upgrade Your Kitchen Game

Typically, 65% of the energy produced by cooking equipment will be extracted through the canopy as convected heat, 5% will be retained in the food being cooked, and 30% will enter the kitchen area as radiant heat. Effective energy management in hospitality catering can provide substantial savings, as well as improving working conditions in the kitchen, leading to improved staff productivity and morale.

4. 🧤 Wrap It Up with Insulation

Ever thought about your building’s winter coat? Draught-proofing your space and ensuring solid insulation will keep the heat where it belongs—inside. Keep your business warm, your customers happy, and your bills under control.
