Our Customer

 

Located in the heart of Victor Harbor's main street precinct, Nino's is a local icon and award-winning family restaurant. Nino's has developed into the best casual dining experience on the Fleurieu Peninsula, serving well over 250,000 customers per year. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week and their menus are developed seasonally with high quality, fresh produce. Their entire team has a passion for great food, great coffee and great wine.

 

The Challenge

 

Nino’s used free comparison based websites for power for many years, and while they highlighted savings, the price was not contractual – meaning lots of work changing power companies and the proposed savings rarely happened as prices changed almost immediately. Nino’s Restaurant was operating on a small market energy agreement, unaware that their usage levels actually qualified them for a large market contract — a missed strategic opportunity costing them thousands.

 

The Solution

Through Choice Energy’s partnership with the Restaurant & Catering Industry Association of Australia, and with guidance from their dedicated energy specialist, Nino’s was identified as eligible for a strategic shift to a large market contract.

 

 

The Outcome

By switching to a large market energy contract, Nino’s is now projected to save over $12,000 per year — or up to $1,000 per month. Locking in lower rates has also given the business greater confidence and control over its ongoing energy expenses.

 

Choice Energy helped us move to a large market contract and unlock savings we wouldn’t have spotted on our own. Saving up to $1,000 a month — without changing a thing — is a huge win.
