LoCarb
Cut Costs, Cut Carbon. For Free.
Running a café, bar, restaurant, or accommodation business right now isn’t easy. Costs are up, staff are stretched, and customers expect more - especially when it comes to sustainability.
That’s where LoCarb comes in.
What is LoCarb?
LoCarb is a free sustainability programme built for hospitality and tourism businesses. It gives you the tools to:
-
Reduce your operating costs
-
Impress environmentally conscious customers
-
Cut your carbon footprint
LoCarb is powered by smart tools from Cogo (which helps make carbon management simple) and Vistr (which offers real-time business insights), showing you exactly where to save money and emissions.
It even syncs straight into Xero and MYOB, automatically pulling your existing data so there’s no need for manual expense coding, spreadsheets, or extra admin.
LoCarb empowers hospitality and tourism businesses to take the lead on sustainability, while identifying ways to reduce costs and improve day-to-day operations. Here’s how it can make things easy for you:
-
Automatic tracking of energy, waste and purchasing emissions through your accounting system
-
Instant, easy-to-read dashboards highlighting your biggest cost and carbon savings opportunities
-
Tailored recommendations for quick wins and long-term improvements
-
Access to expert support and practical advice to help you take action with confidence.
With practical tools and real-time insights, LoCarb can help you make meaningful, achievable changes, from reducing energy use and cutting waste to switching to smarter, circular practices.
Why is it free?
Because Hospitality New Zealand and WellingtonNZ are picking up the bill. For a limited time, we’re fully subsidising the programme so businesses like yours can get the benefits of the tool and expert advice without the cost.
Think of it as a chance to:
-
Improve margins through smarter energy and waste management through practical advice on cost efficiencies
-
Simplify sustainability with systems that fit seamlessly into your current workflow
-
Meet customer expectations around sustainability
-
Get ahead of industry changes—before they become mandatory
