Restaurant Solutions powered by Novar
Serving Up Energy & Operational Cost
Savings
In an industry with narrow profit margins, the challenges of
owning and managing restaurant facilities are only increasing.
Getting and maintaining control of your company's energy and
maintenance costs is a constant battle, even for the best-run
chains.
Though you may have the knowledge and understanding to make your sites more energy and operationally efficient, actually achieving those goals can be difficult. The restaurant industry is highly competitive and dependent on lean, busy staffs that don't have the time to focus efforts on lowering energy spend and maximizing return on assets.
The right strategic partner can provide the necessary expertise to help you save both time and money. Working with the dedicated, knowledgeable team at Novar can help you on a long-term basis to get the maximum return on your energy and facility management investments.
Solutions That Impact Business
As your energy and operational improvement partner, Novar can make
a positive impact on four critical business areas, helping you:
Implement a Sound Energy
Strategy
Restaurant operators that build an energy strategy into their overall
business plan see substantial financial rewards. Novar has been
helping multi-site companies develop energy management strategies
to meet their financial objectives for over 20 years. It's because
of our deep understanding of the energy market that we can help you
identify and take advantage of emerging opportunities like
sustainability planning, GHG tracking, the Smart Grid and more.
Improve Operational
Efficiencies
When a refrigeration or HVAC system problem occurs, every minute
counts. Early detection and diagnosis of equipment failures can
save countless hours of downtime and thousands of dollars of
maintenance expenses each month. Novar's advanced Fault Detection
and Diagnostics (FDD) technologies for HVAC and refrigeration
systems combined with our alarm and incident management software
will help you minimize downtime and save money on maintenance and
repair costs.
Manage Risk
No one knows the changes tomorrow's business environment may
bring, so effectively managing future risks is a big part of your
managerial challenge. Novar's tracking technologies, data
analytics, and in-house engineering team continually monitor the
vulnerability of critical facility assets to a variety of threats.
As a result, you will minimize your exposure to operational costs
such as food loss, energy price fluctuation, environmental
regulatory compliance and other potentially costly situations.
Increase
Profitability
Restaurants use five times more energy per square foot than other
commercial buildings1. Proper management of appliances,
ventilation, lighting and more with an energy management system
allows restaurants to cut utility costs by 10-30 percent without
sacrificing service, quality, style or comfort. For a major
restaurant chain, that could yield millions of dollars in added
profit.
Take control. Expect results.
Whether you need us to design and install a state-of-the-art EMCS or assistance with optimizing your current system and facility management processes, Novar offers a wide selection of products and services that can be customized specifically for your business needs.
Integrated HVAC, Lighting and Kitchen System Control: We design and install integrated EMCS that reduce energy costs and protect food quality for some of the world's top restaurant operators, and we know what it takes to get a site up and running on schedule. Novar has a track record as a long-term, trusted partner in our customers' success, which is why America's top multi-site operators consistently choose Novar as their energy management and operational solutions provider.
Data Analytics/KPI Monitoring: Novar's array of restaurant solutions includes a wide range of data analysis and tracking technologies to provide you with critical information that helps drive decision making. We offer sustainability and greenhouse gas tracking, exception reporting and site-level restaurant tools, as well as comparative analyses by geography or operating unit.
Regulatory Compliance: With government regulations becoming increasingly burdensome, it's more important than ever to stay current with regulatory standards. We'll make sure your refrigeration, HVAC and lighting systems meet current standards wherever your site is located. From the latest requirements of the California Energy Commission's building efficiency standards to the local codes required by your chain's multiple locations, we can ensure your compliance programs for energy usage, refrigerant emissions, food safety HACCP reporting and more are tracked and maintained with the most efficient information technologies and processes available today.
Ongoing Commissioning/Performance Assurance: Refrigeration and other systems become less efficient over time, which results in a decrease in energy savings annually. But Novar can ensure that your systems continue to deliver the savings you expect while driving your facility management costs down and productivity up. We'll keep your assets running the way they were designed to run-at peak performance.
