As we here at Serv-U continue to strengthen our partnership with Energy Star, we are also looking for other ways for our customers to save money on energy. Installing energy efficient restaurant equipment is only the first step. After that, it’s about keeping up good habits to reap the benefits of efficient equipment. The following tips for taming that energy bill are courtesy of Flex Your Power. Soon, you will be able to read their entire restaurant efficiency brochure at Serv-U’s efficiency page.
- When not in use, turn commercial kitchen equipment off to reduce idle time.
- Use more efficient cooking equipment over inefficient equipment when the menu allows.
- Keep up with cleaning and maintenance routines to keep your restaurant equipment running in top form.
- Check the accuracy of your cooking temperatures and recalibrate your equipment when necessary.
- For gas-fired equipment, make sure the pilot lights are small blue flames, not long and yellow.
