GFR wants to know "What Greens Are In Your Kitchen"? This area of GFR online is devoted to increasing financial returns through efficiency solutions. Within each section one will find information on high efficiency equipment, water saving solutions, energy saving solutions, rebate information and general information pertaining to commercial food service equipment and saving money.

People often ask us about high efficiency equipment interested in how it can offer the business a return on investment. Energy efficient equipment, simply put, uses less energy to do the same job than its conventional counterpart. Therefore, less water is used to clean the same dishes; less gas/electricity is used to produce the same product in a fryer, oven or microwave. The result of minimizing water consumption and energy consumption is shown on utility bills and eventually on the balance sheet. One can also look at this as the cost of ownership. That is to say that apart from the initial investment, the cost of ownership includes any and all expenses incurred throughout the life of the equipment. GFR offers equipment with some of the lowest cost of ownership in the industry.

If you’re in the market for new equipment, consider the following general tips for minimizing life-cycle costs:

· Always ask equipment manufacturers and dealers for energy use information

· Check online for efficiency information on specific manufactures and models

· Ask dealers about maintenance. In some cases, energy-efficient equipment may require less upkeep than standard-efficiency equipment

· Ask the dealer to project the cost of ownership for the equipment's total expected life

· Establish at R.O.I for all equipment you’re interested in and compare them on R.O.I
