1851 Franchise Magazine: Technology in Restaurant Franchises

November 21, 2023 - 1851 Franchise Magazine recently mentioned Budderfly in their article about the ways tech is changing the dining landscape. 

"Although they may often get overlooked, technological advancements in energy efficiency have also played a significant part in the restaurant industry by minimizing environmental impact and enhancing operational sustainability.

Al Subbloie is the CEO and founder of the energy efficiency company Budderfly, which is a perfect example of a business that is utilizing the latest tech in the energy space. Budderfly partners with businesses to provide them with the newest, premium, high-efficiency HVAC systems, refrigeration, LED lights, control systems, data analytics and everything related to energy management.

Subbloie, who also owns two Subway franchises, emphasizes the importance of investing in new energy-saving technology, particularly in HVAC and refrigeration. He believes that by adopting cutting-edge energy-efficient solutions, businesses can ensure precise temperature control, prevent spoilage and maintain the freshness of perishable items, which will have a direct impact on the bottom line of any business.

Looking to the future of new energy-focused technology, Subbloie is especially excited about solar solutions and their potential to revolutionize the restaurant industry.

“Solar is going gangbusters and needs to go further in this market,” said Subbloie.

With solar energy, businesses could reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources and ultimately lower their carbon footprint. This would then allow restaurants to not only contribute to a more sustainable future but also benefit from substantial long-term cost savings, making it a win-win solution for both the environment and businesses."
