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.

Confirm what changed on or around 2025-11-12.

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.

Covent Garden may be on the wrong contract

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.

Head Office never fully powers down

Weekend load stays at 60% of a typical weekday. Sites of this type usually fall below 25%.

Identify what remains energised at weekends and whether it needs to be.

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.

Plant starts 2.5 hours before Leeds Briggate opens

Load ramps up at 05:30 but the site opens at 08:00, costing about £1,049 a year.

Trim the start time toward 07:30 and check whether the space still reaches temperature in time.

What we could not check

5 detector runs were skipped because the data does not support them. Absence of a finding in these areas is not evidence of absence.
