Our Restaurant Services

From quick-serve to dine-in to fine dining, restaurants operate in a highly competitive environment with slim margins and high operating costs. This often creates a cashflow constrained situation for owners and operators but also means the effect that efficiency measures have on the bottom line is impactful.

Burton has extensive experience within the restaurant sector and works with multiple global ownership groups to reduce expense, increase resilience, and lead their sustainability efforts. Contact us to learn more.

Burton’s Restaurant Energy Services

Restaurants are 5-7 times more energy intensive than other commercial buildings with high-volume quick-service restaurants being up to10 times intensive. Given this high energy intensity and the fact that utility expense is typically the third highest operating cost behind labor and food, owners and operators can’t afford not to effectively manage this line item.

Typically, the greatest opportunity to increase energy efficiency is within the refrigeration, HVAC, and lighting systems. By updating and upgrading these end uses to more efficient units or lights, energy intensity can be reduced by over 40%. When it comes to water, plumbing fixtures, kitchen equipment, and irrigation are the main drivers. Often, it’s cost effective to optimize these end uses which result in 30-45% reduction with paybacks under 3 years.
