A national restaurant chain case study demonstrated space savings of 40% and time savings 55–65 labor hours.
National restaurant franchises know exactly what they are getting even before construction ever begins. The main distribution panel as well as the lighting and power panels are factory installed, wired and tested. Smart breakers are used for lighting control to meet code and help save money by reducing energy usage. The smart breakers are factory installed, wired and tested. The space savings gained over traditional loose equipment installation exceeds 40%. This allows a national restaurant chain to use the saved square footage for additional revenue generating or storage space.

Space Savings
An assembled electrical solution is only 66 inches wide, which is a space savings of 40% versus traditional wall mounted equipment. Additionally, the National Electrical CodeT requires 3 feet of working clearance in front of electrical equipment. This resulted in a net floor space savings of 30 square feet.
Time Savings
The Assembled Electrical Solution arrives at the job site factory wired and ready to install. More importantly, the Wesco project management team works to ensure that the units arrive on time. This combination can save the electrical contractor up to 8 days of installation time. This accelerates the turnover process, which helps a national restaurant chain to open on time and begin generating revenue.
