Barcelona Wine Bar saved $75,000 and up to 30% on utilities across locations

Barcelona Wine Bar, a chef-driven Spanish tapas restaurant group, needed a clear and centralized view of their operational footprint across their 20+ locations. Upon integrating with Greenplaces, and gaining visibility into cross-location spend and usage patterns, the team immediately identified $75,000 and 20-30% cost and emissions savings opportunities, through a combination of electricity, water, and waste at a few locations. As a truly triple bottom line company, Barcelona reinvests the operational savings in their employees–funding part-time staff healthcare and their employee relief program, B-Love.

“Working with Greenplaces is a no-brainer, as both a one-stop-shop sustainability solution and a business partner. They provide much needed visibility, have helped us save over $75,000, and offer practical actions my teams implement to save energy. For Barcelona, sustainability is about operating more efficiently so we can invest more in our people, and Greenplaces makes it easy and meaningful.”
