The next generation of culinary artisans are changing up the industry. These artisans have a whole new approach to reaching and satisfying the next generation consumer. In this podcast we will explore chefs and artisans from around the world diving into their story and passion.

In this episode of Chef AF, I talk with Andrew Gibson, Senior Manager at Energy Solutions about the California Instant Rebate Program, improving the bottom line and how high efficiency equipment pays for itself.

Gibson trains the market on how rebates are beneficial, how they help the environment and how it can help the health and welfare of communities. I ask him about Energy Solutions and he says, “My team works on food service outreach, so we really try to be the bridge between utility rebate programs in the market and work with the market to understand how those programs work, understand some of the nuances that may come with obtaining the rebate and also give feedback to the utilities on how to improve the rebate programs, how to notice trends that are happening in the market that could affect rebate qualified equipment.” He adds that they are the bridge to that gap of communication between the two to make really robust programs that benefit not only the customers but also benefit their overall overarching goal of reducing carbon in the atmosphere and bringing energy efficiency into the commercial sector of foodservice.

Gibson talks about the ease of getting the rebate and says the program is much more accessible with a lot less paperwork as in the past with some rebates. The customer receives the rebate amount off the purchase price at the time of the purchase.

“Our team does extensive training with the sales staff at all of the distribution and dealer locations. So that they're able to understand those qualified models and recall them very quickly without having to look at a list and be able to upsell the customer to those models, especially because the rebate really evens out the price point,” says Gibson.
