Total Visibility, Total Control
In the restaurant and convenience store industry, managing your critical systems can seem like a very low priority in relation to all of the other issues and fires you face daily. The truth is, the typical restaurant consumes about 2.5 times more energy per square foot than other commercial buildings. That means you are spending more than any other commercial building, and that is just on power! Early equipment diagnostics is a huge focus in the restaurant and convenience store industry today. Leaders in these industries are realizing that early diagnosis of faulty equipment is the best way to save money on food loss, and total equipment replacement.
The only true way to manage anything is to first understand it, and to understand it you must have a way to measure it.
