About Restaurant Lighting Concepts
In 2010, with the assistance and advice of corporate restaurant directors who knew the value of proper lighting to enhance the customer experience for greater sales and profits, Restaurant Lighting Concepts was formed to provide an industry proven and unique Lighting Program that would standardize and maintain strict guidelines for lighting conversions from one to 1,000 units located across the nation. As operators know, it is difficult to maintain food standards and quality, much less lighting quality throughout a chain of facilities, thus the RLC Lighting Program was born to maintain those standards. Gone are the days when site managers venture to a local retail location to purchase bulb replacements of varying styles.
In conjunction with the enhancement of lighting, especially at the table to add food appeal, LED technology adds value for the lighting ambiance, reduces the utility bill, has longer life, is great for the environment and has rebate incentives. Inefficient incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lighting are on the extinct list.
The RLC LED Lighting Program provides a comprehensive solution to assist corporate chains in the conversion to LED lighting, a process which can have many potential pitfalls during the transition such as poor LED light quality, erratic color temperatures, strobing from dimming, low CRI ratings which fade the true colors desired, improper beam angles, the wrong bulb types for the task and paperwork nightmare for rebates. RLC solves all these issues for the operator.
While the soft benefit of increased sales generated by the RLC LED Lighting Program is difficult to calculate, calculating the savings is much easier. To date, the RLC lighting program has helped many large chains such as TGI Friday’s, Bob Evans, Hard Rock Café, Ruby Tuesday, Collier Foods, Papa John’s, Applebee’s and IHOP. The conversions were for interior and exterior lighting. The implementation of the RLC LED Lighting Program is saving over $40M per year for its customer in reduced energy costs, and other savings such as eliminating light bulb purchases and eliminating maintenance costs with the RLC warranty support program.
When an operator waits to convert for any reason, (waiting for current lights to burn out, waiting for renovation, waiting for staff to convert, etc.) to the RLC LED Lighting Program, the profit margins are eroding and the competitors, who have converted, have an advantage. With the rapid ROI from the RLC LED Lighting Program featuring great pricing, improved efficiency of today’s LED lamps and funding avenues RLC makes available, (including programs where no funds are needed from your current budget) there is no reason not to join the RLC program today.
