The Hidden Energy Challenge in Hospitality (and How to Fix It)
The hospitality industry is fast-paced, complex, and constantly evolving. From independent operators with a handful of restaurants to ambitious groups growing nationally, energy management can quickly become a challenge. That’s why having the right support in place, tailored to the sector’s unique needs, makes all the difference.
The Challenges of Multi-Site Portfolios
Unlike single-site businesses, hospitality groups often manage multiple locations with plans to expand further. That creates challenges such as:
Adding new sites to existing contracts when new restaurants or venues open.
Managing tenancy changes and keeping site information accurate.
Consolidating billing across multiple locations—or tailoring billing to specific sites when required.
Handling a high volume of queries, from incorrect addresses to billing errors.
““It’s very important to keep on top of that site list to make sure everything is updated… for them really to be able to come to us and say, this is the situation, and we can get on and deal with that for them.””
Data, Reporting and Investor Demands
As hospitality businesses grow—especially with external investment or private equity backing—the need for reliable data and management information becomes even greater. Head office teams often require instant access to:
Consumption data
Invoices
Budget tracking
Through our client portal, this information is always available. Combined with a dedicated account manager, businesses get both transparency and peace of mind.
Why Relationships Matter
Hospitality is built on people and relationships, and energy management is no different. Having a single point of contactwho understands the business, knows the portfolio inside-out, and can resolve issues quickly is invaluable. From installing AMRs for accurate consumption tracking to delivering green energy projects, having one trusted partner removes complexity and saves time.
