Hotels, restaurants and leisure businesses operate in a competitive market where margins matter. Energy is a significant operational cost that can be optimised with the right strategy.
COMCAM helps hospitality businesses get a grip on energy costs while working towards their sustainability targets.
The force field
Three forces that pull on every energy decision
We see the same pattern in every sector. A market that keeps moving, what your connection and your own profile allow, and where sustainability has to take you. Each on its own is manageable. The bigger problems arise where they overlap, and that is where most of our work is.

All three at once
Decarbonising a site without grid headroom means shaving peaks first and replacing installations second, as at 't Zusje in Terneuzen.
How COMCAM helps
One portfolio, one team: analysis, strategy, trading and risk management across all three forces.
You want to do what you're good at
Running your business, welcoming guests, delivering quality.
Meanwhile energy costs keep rising, the rules keep changing, and the grid operator says your connection is full.
Whether you run one location or several: energy keeps getting more complex, more technical, and harder to predict. And that's not why you went into hospitality.
The fryer runs at full power during peak hours
Your monthly bills swing with variable rates
The government asks whether you meet the Recognised Measures List
No one on the team knows exactly what's in the energy contract
Energy, professionally handled
Without it keeping you up at night.
COMCAM helps cafés, restaurants, lunch spots, snack bars and hospitality chains get a grip on their energy. Not with loose tips or product sales, but with a smart, complete approach.
What we can do for you:
Insight into consumption per connection, process or location
Lower energy costs through strategic procurement
Compliance with regulation, without the paperwork
Guidance on sustainability and electrification
Support with subsidies and financing
The result: more peace of mind, lower costs - and no energy matters left unresolved.
Who is COMCAM for?
COMCAM is there for the whole hospitality sector.
Think of:
Independent owners of a restaurant, lunchroom, eatery or brasserie
Operators of snack bars with energy-intensive kitchen processes
Owners of grand cafés or bars with refrigeration, tap systems and outdoor heating
Managers of lunch, coffee or sandwich concepts with multiple locations
Franchisors or franchisees in fast-food, grill or casual-dining concepts
Operators of food courts, station catering or hospitality squares with shared infrastructure
Family businesses with five to fifteen locations spread across several cities or regions
Operations managers who want a grip on costs, purchasing moments and regulation
Owners without the time or capacity to deal daily with energy contracts, reporting obligations and sustainability plans
For all of these, COMCAM offers peace of mind, control and results - with an energy approach that matches the reality of hospitality.

A forward-looking energy strategy
Cutting energy costs in hospitality.
Energy has a significant impact on your operations. As a hotel, restaurant, bar or chain, you want affordable energy and a stable supply. COMCAM works with you on an energy strategy that fits your business.
COMCAM can take over the complete energy management of your hospitality business. It starts with actively managing your energy portfolio. When prices fall, we lock in part of the price. In the short term we aim for a sharp price for your business, in the medium term we work toward lower energy rates, and in the long term we develop your energy strategy. We match your energy profile and consumption to your technical installations, assess opportunities for savings and self-generated energy, check compliance with relevant regulation, and discuss your options for subsidies and financing.
COMCAM has seen this play out directly: at 't Zusje in Terneuzen, owner Joost d'Hondt turned to COMCAM during the energy crisis, when unpredictable prices and thin margins made the bill unmanageable on his own. Bringing in a knowledge partner, rather than switching suppliers again, is what carried the business through it. That is the model: a single-location owner does not need to become an energy expert, but does need someone who translates the market into a next step.
Very satisfied with the support and expert advice from Nadia on our new control box. It gives us good protection against negative prices when needed. Already made strong progress this month compared to last month!

After three months we already saw that the proposal they made worked much better than anything we had tried before. By now we even refer tenants to them.
Comcam goes above and beyond for their clients. The insights and access they provide are unparalleled in the european market.

When looking at our energy bills, I was always struck by how high the costs were. I also didn't understand how to comprehend or manage everything related to energy. We simply didn't know enough about the industry. From the outset, COMCAM explained step by step how they work and how they manage energy procurement for us.
Thanks to their strong negotiating position on prices with suppliers we are very satisfied. The service with personal contact also appeals to me greatly. Response times to questions are very short, so you can act right away. All in all an excellent partner for us.
