Food Service / Retail Chains

Building Analytics for Food Service & Retail Chains

Multi-site food retail and service chains face high energy loads, stringent food safety requirements, and rising compliance risks—all while striving to deliver consistent customer experiences. If you manage a large number of convenience stores, quick service restaurants, petrol station food courts, or multi-format food outlets, you need performance and reliability from refrigeration, HVAC, and lighting systems across every site.

Bueno delivers predictive insights across your entire network, helping you meet regulatory targets, reduce refrigerant emissions, and keep energy costs in check—without installing new hardware or disrupting daily operations.

A Step-by-Step Path to Operational Excellence

Four modules, one platform, built for scale

Refrigerant Leak Detection

Prevent costly refrigerant loss and compliance breaches. In supermarkets where racks run 24/7, Bueno detects refrigerant leaks days or weeks before traditional sensors, helping you protect stock, reduce service calls, and stay ahead of AIM Act requirements.

Refrigerant Leak Detection

Module Overview: The fastest way to detect refrigerant leaks and meet regulatory requirements at scale. Built for rapid deployment, this module connects to existing racks and controllers with minimal data points.
