Gas has long been the default for commercial kitchens, but that is changing. Kitchen upgrades, regulatory pressure, rising energy costs and new all-electric building requirements mean more tenants are facing electrification decisions.
For leasing and tenant managers, understanding electric kitchens means you can answer questions confidently and help tenants make informed decisions about their fit-out.
This webinar brings together practical insight and real-world examples to help you navigate the commercial kitchen electrification conversation with confidence.
What you’ll learn:
• The business case for electrifying commercial kitchens, including health, performance, and sustainability benefits
• Cost savings and payback periods for electric kitchens
• Case studies from Australian restaurants that have made the switch
• Common misconceptions about electric cooking and how to address them
• Practical resources to support tenant conversations and decision-making
Who is it for:
This webinar is designed for professionals involved in leasing spaces with commercial kitchens, including leasing managers, retail managers, and tenant managers. If you influence decisions made by existing or prospective tenants about their tenancy or fit-out, this session is for you.
