How Restaurants & Cafes Typically Use Energy

Restaurants, cafes and takeaways typically combine high gas usage (cooking equipment, ovens, hobs) with significant electricity demand from extraction, refrigeration and air conditioning. Usage is often concentrated around service hours, with equipment like walk-in fridges and freezers drawing power continuously in the background.

Kitchen equipment

Ovens, hobs, fryers and grills are usually the main driver of gas (or electric) usage in a commercial kitchen.

Extraction & ventilation

Kitchen extraction systems often run throughout service and can be a significant, continuous electrical load.

Refrigeration

Walk-in fridges, freezers and display units draw power around the clock, not just during opening hours.

Peak service demand

Electricity and gas demand often spikes sharply during lunch and dinner service compared with quieter periods.

Don't have everything to hand? That's fine - fill in what you can and a specialist can help with the rest.

Restaurants & Cafes - Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on the site’s peak demand - larger kitchens with heavy equipment loads are more likely to be on, or eligible for, a half-hourly (HH) meter than a small cafe. A specialist can help you check what applies to your premises.
