DV & GR Enterprises is a fast-growing Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) chain established throughout Northeast Ohio. With six new locations opened in 2023 alone to grow its Wingstop and Tropical Smoothie Café landscape, the company is continually looking for ways to invest in infrastructure, while containing costs.
Yet, due to each location individually paying utility bills and not using supplier agreements, the overall utility budget became chaotic and costly. While food and labor are the biggest cost concerns for QSRs, as DV & GR Enterprises added more locations, it became apparent the scale-up should focus on utilities as an equally important concern. In this fast-growing environment, management realized they did not have the personnel or experience to complete a comprehensive review of energy costs. To find answers, DV & GR leadership turned to the trusted advisors at ePro+ to help them tame the chaos.
