Neutopia Uncovers $Millions in Savings for Popular Canadian Restaurant Franchise

Smart Building Green Box cuts Electricity Charges from Smart Meters -Becomes new first step before any efficiency retrofits considered

May 13, 2015 – TORONTO — Neutopia ecoSOLUTIONS Inc., Canada’s first Social Impact & Community Green Plan Company (neutopia.ca, Est. 2008), recently presented the findings of an unprecedented Restaurant Efficiency SOS Program to franchise executives in Montreal.  The 100+ page report was co-authored by more than a dozen engineering firms who are part of the Neutopia Green Development Network, a global collection of the world’s leading eco-Technology manufacturers that help property owners reduce operating costs.

The purpose of the Efficiency SOS Plan was to determine if there are any ways to further reduce the cost of operations that may have been overlooked in shareholder meetings or with previous upgrades. Neutopia eagerly took on the project knowing that the results could be quickly shared with the more than 200 restaurants across Canada that are all part of the same parent company. The results were shocking; if the estimates for the pilot site are to be taken as an average across the whole portfolio it could mean more than $1 Million in savings annually from just one of the technologies.  Neutopia hopes franchisees will want to combine it with one or more of the other technologies in Neutopia’s Freedom from the Grid suite of eco-Solutions like renewable energy with energy storage, on-site generation, on-site solution to target Zero Food Waste to landfill, or the more common LED lighting and HVAC upgrades, all of which have a drastic and immediate impact on a company’s bottom line.

While the owner of the pilot site decides which savings opportunities to pursue at the Scarborough location, the parent company, which recently approved an investment of more than $5 million in renovations as part of a company-wide rejuvenation program, now has to decide whether or not to immediately authorize a national roll-out of the innovative program.  While the decision to participate will ultimately be up to each restaurant owner, Neutopia’s 100% Savings Guarantee eliminates any financial risk to the franchisees.  Furthermore, the eco-Solutions are all proven technologies that are backed by Neutopia’s Green Investment Network which gives the parent company the option to save their own budget for their rejuvenation program while tapping into Neutopia’s Green Financing program.

What’s most interesting is that Neutopia’s Green Development Network includes coast to coast installation teams and could have the entire company retrofitted within months. At $3000 per day estimated over-spending on energy alone, the savings will accumulate quickly and could end up paying for the entire $5 million company rejuvenation program before that program is even completed.

What if a Restaurant is already doing a Green Plan?

In the case where a franchisee says they are already pursuing a ‘Green Plan’, only Neutopia Ambassadors are authorized to provide the game-changing Smart Building Combined Energy Regeneration & Up-cycling with Storage system in Canada which can have an immediate reduction of electricity charges from 20% to 50% without making any changes to equipment or operations. We believe it is the world’s easiest solution to cut the global carbon footprint in the fastest and least expensive way possible and can be combined with any other Green Plan including efficiency, renewable energy and waste management. So if a restaurant is already doing a Green Plan the only obstacle is if it is being done by a company that doesn’t want to save even more without changing anything, and that’s unlikely.

“Besides,” says Robert Laporte, CEO, “Neutopia is the world’s first Social Impact Efficiency Company and our profits will be re-invested to help people who are suffering. This is great for restaurants who can promote this on their menus so patrons can actually visit our website to see how they are having a direct involvement in helping to change somebody’s life. That leftover food waste could be converted to medicine and education programs, and that paper towel just might be turned into a solar panel to provide energy to a family in need. The ideas are endless, and we are thrilled to be launching this program across Canada. While we push ahead with our Green Restaurant program,  our next targets are Municipal leaders and property management companies…we have identified tens of millions in savings in Canada’s government buildings alone, and we have already reached out to the property management company managing 9000 of their buildings, hoping they will want to work with us. We tried We are on the verge of saving tens of thousands of lives in a way that nobody dreamed possible.”
