Whitepaper: From cost control to operational reality

In this new publication, supported by FWE, Jim Banks considers the roles of consultants, manufacturers and operators in assessing the total cost of ownership in a foodservice project

Cost is inevitably a key consideration when decisions are made at the outset of a foodservice project. But focusing  too much on the initial price of equipment can lead to overlooking the costs – and value – over its working life. In this whitepaper, supported by FWE, we explore how taking a total cost of ownership approach to foodservice design can shift the focus from up-front savings to long-term value.

Expert contributions to this whitepaper come from:

  • Kristen Sedej FCSI, president, S20 Consultants
  • FCSI Associate Jay Bandy, president, Goliath Consulting Group

“Many clients are not truly long-term in their vision, looking three-to-five years rather than ten-to-fifteen,” says Bandy. “If people make bad decisions early on and buy cheap, they end up putting in more money later to get equipment that lasts longer.”
