My Story...


Bringing a 20th Century Business into the 21st Century

Minnecis Ristorante, 2008

What it was...

» $2,600 a month in utilities

» 30 Years of dirt, grease and grime

» Kitchen equipment and refrigeration from

the 1970's-Most had not been maintained

» HVAC systems from the 1980's

» Leaking roofs and water pipes

» Uninsulated concrete walls

» Improper ventilation


Bringing a 20th Century Business into the 21st Century

With Ameren Illinois Guidance...

» Full cleaning and reconstruction in 2 weeks

» Energy Star equipment and refrigeration

» High-efficiency lighting

» New insulation and ventilation

» Saved the cost of my expenses within 4 years

» $2,200 a month in utilities (Saving $4,800/year)

This Got Me Thinking...


Millennials Are Not Who You Think They Are.

» Millennials will spend 15-20% more for Green/Organic products

» They are 5 times more likely to be loyal to a Green business

» They are the most health conscious generation in American history

» They value principles and morality over money

» They are now the largest demographic in the country and their buying

power is increasing every day


How Can I Tap Into This...

» The concept will have to be something environmentally friendly

» Its culture will have to be principled

» It will have to be fast, affordable and healthy

» So what idea could embody all of these characteristics?

Going Green is Inevitable...


Now I Know Better...

Salad Meister 2016

» All EnergyStar equipment

» All LED lighting & signage

» High-efficiency toilets and sinks

» Biodegradable cups, bowls, & forks

» Upfront cost difference: $2,400

» Yearly savings on Utilities: $1,800

» Value of being environmentally friendly: Priceless


Now I Know Better...

Its Just Smart Business

» Millennials and future generations will only

support low-impact businesses. They will

spend more and be more loyal to green

businesses.

» ROI on your up front costs will happen

incredibly fast.

» Conscientious capitalism is the best form

of advertising to younger generations.

» Ameren Illinois is an invaluable partner in

making this a realty for you.


Going Green, Grows Green

The best part of this program is that Ameren Illinois has done all the

heavy lifting. They have the research, the resources, the connections

and the desire to help. They have taken on the responsibilties of energy

savings that businesses simply don't have time for, but wish they did.

I encourage everyone to take advantage of this great program and

together we can have a Greener future... in every sense of the word.

Thank You.
