Understanding Energy Consumption in Restaurants
The restaurant industry is facing a significant challenge with rising energy costs. On average, energy expenses account for about 3% to 5% of a restaurant’s operating costs, which can have a substantial impact on profitability. Moreover, it is reported that 80% of restaurant operators indicated their total utility costs were higher in 2023 compared to 2019.
This increase has been driven largely by soaring natural gas prices and escalating electricity rates, both of which are vital to restaurant operations.
A startling statistic highlights the scale of energy consumption in food production: Restaurants typically use between 4 to 10 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity (£1.25 – £2.50) to prepare one meal. This range can vary based on several factors, including the menu and kitchen equipment. For example, high-energy equipment like freezers, fridges , ovens and fryers significantly contributes to electricity usage.
The National Restaurant Association has also reported an average utility cost increase of nearly 12% from 2019 to 2023, adding additional pressure to strained budgets.

Our Energy Solutions For Restaurants
1. WiFF Manager
The Walk-in Fridge & Freezer Manager (WiFF) optimises energy use in commercial kitchens, saving up to 10.5 kWh/day on refrigeration and 21 kWh/day on freezers. Installed with minimal disruption and maintenance-free, WiFF combines an energy optimiser, door alarm, and PVC insulation curtains to prevent energy waste and enhance efficiency. It blocks the outdoor condenser when doors are left open and reduces condenser cycles, cutting costs while maintaining hygiene standards..
2. The Bottle Fridge Manager
The Bottle Fridge Manager is an intelligent solution designed to optimise the energy consumption of your refrigeration units. This product ensures that your bottles and beverages are kept at the ideal temperature while reducing unnecessary energy use. By managing refrigeration more effectively, you not only lower your energy bills but also extend the lifespan of your appliances.
3. Cellar Manager
The Cellar Manager is a smart and innovative system designed to cut down energy consumption of your primary cellar cooler by 30%. By leveraging the natural principle that beer in kegs warms up more slowly than the surrounding air, the system optimises your cooler’s power usage while maintaining the ideal beer temperature.
4. Remote Optimiser
While beer may not be pulled 24/7, most remote coolers continue to consume energy, even when they’re not in use. That’s where the Remote Optimiser comes in—an innovative solution designed to significantly reduce energy waste by aligning the cooler’s operation with real-time beer demand.
5. Smart Post Mix Timer
A typical Post Mix cooler uses around 1,825 kWh per year, costing approximately £365 annually at £0.20p per kWh. However, most venues are closed for an average of 12 hours a day. By using the Smart Post Mix Timer to switch off your cooler for just 8 hours a day, you can save up to 33% on your energy costs—translating to an annual saving of roughly £120 per cooler.
