A pub burns energy around the clock. Cellar cooling never switches off, refrigeration runs through the night, and kitchen extraction often runs longer than anyone intends. EBITDA Systems monitors that equipment continuously so abnormal behaviour is visible while it is still cheap to fix.
Most pubs discover an equipment problem when something fails, when stock spoils, or when a quarterly bill arrives higher than expected. By then the cost has already been incurred, usually over weeks.
The difficulty is that the equipment keeps working while it degrades. A cellar cooler with a failing door seal still cools. A compressor drawing more current than it should still holds temperature, right up until it does not. Nothing looks wrong on the floor, so nothing gets investigated.
Continuous monitoring changes the timescale. Instead of noticing at the end of a quarter, the change in behaviour is visible in the data within days of it starting.
Sensors record how each piece of equipment normally behaves — its temperature range, its energy draw, how long it runs and when. That baseline is what makes an anomaly meaningful.
When behaviour moves away from the established pattern, the platform flags it and shows what changed. A compressor running noticeably longer for the same cooling result, or a cellar holding temperature only by working harder, are both visible as changes in operating pattern rather than as an outright failure.
This is detection and explanation, not automatic repair. The platform tells you what changed, where, and what it appears to be costing. Acting on it stays with you and your maintenance contractor.
Every flagged anomaly is tied to consumption, so the question becomes financial rather than technical: this unit is drawing more than its baseline, and over a month that difference is worth a specific amount.
That framing matters for a pub, where equipment decisions compete with every other call on cash. Knowing that a repair addresses a measurable monthly cost is a different conversation from being told a unit is "running a bit warm".
Sensors are wireless and fitted to existing equipment. A typical single-site installation takes around two hours and does not require rewiring.
No. EBITDA Systems identifies and explains what is happening so your contractor arrives knowing what to look at. The repair work stays with them.
Door contact sensors and cellar temperature monitoring are supported, so an open door that starts affecting cellar temperature can raise an alert.
