I was constantly looking for better ways to reduce overheads for my clients, but energy bills and card processing fees always felt like fixed costs we just had to accept. That changed completely once I partnered with Rob.

What really sets Rob apart is his ongoing support. He’s always on hand whenever we have a question or an issue arises, and he handles everything quickly and professionally. It’s reassuring to know we have someone reliable who genuinely looks out for our business interests.

As a busy Chinese restaurant, we’re constantly managing rising costs; from ingredients and staffing to utilities. We knew it was worth reviewing our overheads, but we didn’t expect the savings to be as significant as they turned out to be. Saving £120 per month on card fees and £3,500 per year on energy

Switching to Business Sense has saved my restaurant over £1,000 a year.

We can’t thank Rob enough for the service he’s provided to our restaurant. He installed a brand-new card machine quickly and with no disruption to our day-to-day trading — and on top of that, he’s helped us save around £1,400 per year on our card machine fees.

By partnering with Business Sense Consultancy Services, Global Foods reduced annual energy costs by £10,700, improved operational efficiency, and put a structured energy strategy in place to support future growth.

The case demonstrates how independent hospitality businesses can unlock substantial savings through structured energy review rather than reactive contract renewal.
