Sustainability that brings in money – doing it right

Sustainability in restaurants is no longer just a trend – it’s simply smart business.
Less waste, more savings, and customers who value a restaurant that considers the environment. Oh, and you’ll be saving loads of money along the way! So how do you do it? Here are a few simple steps that will make your restaurant greener, more profitable, and even more attractive to customers.

Stop wasting electricity and water – make big savings

A commercial kitchen consumes a lot of electricity and water, but with a few small changes, you can save a lot.

LED lights and energy-efficient appliances – it may seem like a small step, but it can save you thousands of shekels a year.

Economical water and faucet sensors — so you’re not just flowing for no reason.

Regular equipment maintenance — when you maintain your devices, they work better and consume less electricity.”

 

Green Menu = more Customers, more Profits

Customers like to know that their food is not just delicious, but also environmentally responsible.

Add plant-based dishes — cheaper ingredients, a wider audience, and of course — a plus for sustainability.

Smart purchasing based on sales data – so you don’t end up with vegetables rotting before they make it to the plate.”

 

Market your sustainability properly

If you are taking green actions, tell people about it!

Talk to your customers – just so you know, people love supporting businesses with values.

Involve green communities — networking with environmental organizations can get you worthwhile exposure.

Green certifications – they show you’re serious, and it gives you an edge over the competition.

 

How can you start right now?

✅ Reduce food waste with proper planning and use of leftovers.

✅ Switching to energy-efficient appliances reduces your electricity and water bills.

✅ Updating the menu with more green and smart options.

✅ Telling customers about every green step you’ve taken — because they’ll appreciate it.

 

A green restaurant is not only good for the environment — it’s also good for your profits.
