Tortilla wraps up plug power savings with measurable.energy

Tortilla, a leading European restaurant chain, has partnered with 
measurable.energy to tackle plug power waste. 

From fresh food to a sustainable future

Tortilla, the largest and most successful fast-casual Mexican restaurant group in 
Europe, is known for its fresh, affordable food. But the company is equally 
passionate about sustainability. Committed to a zero-waste future and net zero 
emissions by 2045, Tortilla needed a solution for a hidden energy drain: wasted 
plug power.

Tortilla's mission to energy efficiency

Energy efficiency and reduction is crucial to Tortilla's sustainability goals. However, as they expanded throughout the UK, managing energy consumption became 
increasingly challenging. Determined to eliminate all sources of energy waste, 
Tortilla turned its attention to the often-overlooked waste from appliances that 
use standby power or continuously draw power.

Power down, savings up

Tortilla's energy management partner Amber, introduced measurable.energy, an AI-powered solution that identifies and automatically eliminates unnecessary energy consumption and carbon emissions from plugged-in devices. 

Here's the impact:

• Reduced energy use: measurable.energy's smart sockets automatically 
  switch appliances off when they aren't needed, resulting in significant 
  reduction in Tortilla's overall energy consumption, achieving 32% energy 
  savings.
• Lower carbon footprint: The reduction in energy use leads to a 34% 
  decrease in CO2 emissions, helping Tortilla progress towards their net zero 
  goals.
• Aligned sustainability goals: measurable.energy complements Tortilla's 
  existing sustainability initiatives, such as 100% renewable electricity, zero 
  waste to landfill, and the installation of a Solar PV system at their central
  kitchen.

Aligned goals and measurable success

Tortilla is deeply committed to sustainability. Their efforts span a wide range, from 
environmental impact to community support. By aligning with United Nations 
goals, Tortilla is working to end hunger, improve well-being, promote sustainable
