Energy Cost Benchmark

Every other number in a hospitality P&L has a benchmark. Food cost, labour percentage, rent as a share of sales, operators know roughly where they should sit. Energy does not, which is why it tends to go unexamined until a renewal lands.

What it will do

• Compare your energy cost per cover, and per square foot, against comparable hospitality sites
• Show where a site sits in the range rather than against a single average, a late-night bar and a daytime café are not the same business
• Separate what is a tariff problem from what is a consumption problem, because they have completely different fixes
• Flag sites in an out-of-contract or deemed rate, which is where the worst pricing lives

Built with Rye

We are building this with Rye, a utilities procurement platform for multi-site hospitality and retail. They handle contracting, metering and usage monitoring, and they hold the sector benchmark data that makes a comparison like this meaningful rather than a guess.

Worth being clear: Rye is a commercial partner and we may receive a fee where an operator goes on to work with them. That does not change what the tool tells you, but you should know it before you use it.
