What needs attention
Ranked by severity, then by annual cost. Every figure links to the data behind it.
Unexpected consumption at Coventry Production Kitchen
Gas use runs about 13% above what Coventry Production Kitchen's electricity use implies on Tuesday and Thursday (207 days examined). Gas and electricity normally rise and fall together with covers served, so gas moving on its own suggests it is not producing output.
→ Check for equipment left running or a failed control.
Step change in consumption at Manchester Piccadilly
Load rose by 261% on 2025-11-12 and has stayed there — about £10,689 a year. A persistent step usually means a setting changed or new equipment was installed.
Cardiff Castle Street uses more than comparable sites
Cardiff Castle Street used 1.6 kWh per cover against a cafe_restaurant median of 1.2, a gap of 32%. The comparison is weather-adjusted and normalised by kWh per cover.
→ Compare plant, settings and opening hours against Birmingham Bullring.
Coventry Production Kitchen may be on the wrong contract
25% of consumption falls in off-peak hours, but the site is on Fixed single rate. Re-pricing the same consumption under Day / night time-of-use would have cost £18,804 less over 2024-04-01 to 2026-03-31.
→ Ask your supplier to quote Day / night time-of-use at renewal. This compares the same consumption under both contracts; it assumes no change in usage.
8% of consumption falls in off-peak hours, but the site is on Half-hourly pass-through. Re-pricing the same consumption under Fixed single rate would have cost £9,149 less over 2024-04-01 to 2026-03-31.
→ Ask your supplier to quote Fixed single rate at renewal. This compares the same consumption under both contracts; it assumes no change in usage.
24% of consumption falls in off-peak hours, but the site is on Fixed single rate. Re-pricing the same consumption under Day / night time-of-use would have cost £3,981 less over 2024-04-01 to 2026-03-31.
→ Ask your supplier to quote Day / night time-of-use at renewal. This compares the same consumption under both contracts; it assumes no change in usage.
Overnight baseload creeping up at Bristol Harbourside
The minimum overnight load has risen from 4.52 kW to 5.77 kW over 12.0 months — about £3,289 a year if it continues. A steady climb like this usually means equipment degrading rather than a change in trading.
→ Inspect refrigeration seals, door heaters and any always-on plant at Bristol Harbourside.
