Keep Energy Costs Low
for Your Catering Business

The catering industry can be competitive and running costs can be expensive. Restaurants and other catering businesses rely heavily on gas and electricity. This leads to very high overheads.

Increasing the profits is crucial for catering businesses as it can help offset quieter seasons. This is where energy efficiency and being on the correct energy tariff makes a big difference.

One of the best ways to cut costs is to switch energy suppliers. We understand how hectic the catering industry can be. It leads to having little to no time to take of energy management.  That’s why we make it easy for you to switch energy suppliers and get a cheaper energy deal.

Reduce Your Catering Businesses Energy Bills

It's estimated that catering businesses waste as much as 60% of energy in their kitchens [1].

Carbon Trust estimates catering businesses can reduce their energy bills by up to 25% by becoming energy-efficient. Taking a few minutes out of the day every six months to compare energy will avoid overcharging. Many catering companies fall into the out of contract rates trap. This is very detrimental to a business using a high amount of gas and electricity.

Catering Energy Saving Tips

The most successful businesses are always looking for ways to reduce their overheads.

Here are some ways you can increase energy efficiency:

A great deal of energy wastage can take place in the kitchens.

You should identify inefficiencies and discuss improvements with staff. Common inefficiencies include lighting, leaving equipment switched on or left on standby mode. Large savings can also be made by not allowing heating/cooling units to get too hot/cold. Many businesses  fail to use dishwashers efficiently too.

Educating your staff on the importance of efficiency helps reduce energy consumption. Getting them on board with your plans will ensure you're doing everything you can to reduce costs. 

Make a habit of energy efficiency

Energy efficiency shouldn’t be treated as a short-term solution to expensive energy bills. To maximise profits, it should be central to the ethos of your business.

It’s recommended that you choose equipment with high efficiency ratings. This will help reduce energy wastage. A good chef will advocate for high-quality pots and pans. But it may be worth listening. They can save both time and money when cooking.

Cheap products may seem cost-effective at first, but they have high running costs. This translates to most things. Most notably, LED lights are slightly higher in price than traditional incandescent bulbs. LED lights use 90% less energy and can last 25 times longer [2].
