Energy Procurement for Hospitality Businesses
Restaurants. Pubs. Hotels. Cafes. Venues.
Hospitality businesses do not need energy advice. They need energy handled properly. Margins are tight. Hours are long. Energy runs constantly in the background. Heating, kitchens, refrigeration, lighting, hot water. Most operators do not have the time or appetite to review contracts in detail. As a result, many hospitality businesses quietly overpay without realising it.
Energy IQ Group exists to stop that happening.
The Reality for Hospitality Operators
Energy costs in hospitality are different to most sectors. A contract that works for an office rarely works for a restaurant or pub.
Long operating hours
High and unpredictable gas usage
Seasonal spikes
Equipment that cannot be switched off
Limited tolerance for disruption
Many hospitality businesses end up on:
Out of contract rates
Poor renewals agreed under time pressure
Tariffs that do not reflect how the site actually operates
None of this means the business is badly run. It simply means energy was not reviewed properly.
How We Help Hospitality Businesses
We start with your existing contract.
Not with suppliers.
Not with switching.
Not with sales.
Our role is to sense check whether what you are paying still makes sense for how your business operates today.
We do this by:
Reviewing your current gas and electricity contracts
Understanding your trading hours and usage patterns
Benchmarking against the wider hospitality market
Identifying risks, inefficiencies, or unnecessary cost
If there is a genuine improvement to be made, we will explain it clearly.
If there is not, we will tell you that too.

Who We Typically Work With in Hospitality
Independent restaurants and cafés
Pubs and licensed venues
Boutique and independent hotels

Late trading and high energy usage venues
Single site or multi site, the principle is the same.
Energy should support the business, not quietly drain it.

Nothing changes unless it genuinely improves the position.
