RSCS members can use Monaire’s AI HVAC and refrigeration monitoring to cut energy waste, emergency repairs, and downtime.

SOMERVILLE, Mass. — August 18, 2026 — Monaire, an AI automation platform for HVAC and refrigeration, today announced it is the first energy solution available to members through Restaurant Supply Chain Solutions (RSCS), the largest procurement cooperative in the quick-service restaurant industry. The RSCS Monaire Member Program gives operators a vetted path to lower HVAC and refrigeration operating costs across multi-site portfolios. Monaire is already deployed across hundreds of restaurant locations operated by RSCS members, including Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and other leading brands.

HVAC and refrigeration are among the biggest controllable costs in a restaurant — from guest comfort and kitchen load swings to after-hours runtime and emergency repairs. Through the program, RSCS members can add wireless sensors and continuous AI monitoring to existing equipment — no rip-and-replace. Monaire flags performance issues and likely failures early, so teams can act before issues turn into energy waste, emergency repairs, or downtime that impacts guest comfort.

The program is also built to fit how members already run maintenance. Monaire can route early alerts into work orders in the member’s existing CMMS — including platforms such as EcoTrak, ServiceChannel, and Restaurant Intelligence, among others, so diagnosis and action stay in one workflow instead of a separate system.

Key capabilities of the RSCS-Monaire Member Program include:

• Easy to install: Uses non-invasive wireless sensors on existing HVAC and refrigeration assets without requiring costly equipment replacements.

• Monitor every unit: See how every HVAC/R unit is performing, 24/7. Monaire collects temperature, humidity, runtime, and equipment data across your portfolio.

• Lower operating expenses: Reduces electricity/natural gas consumption, lowers repair costs and extends physical asset lifespan across multi-site portfolios.

• Catch issues early: Monaire detects abnormal equipment behavior early, explains what is likely happening, and helps teams act before it becomes a comfort complaint or emergency repair.

• Get repairs done: Turn detected issues into action with AI-assisted work orders, CMMS integrations, vendor context, and repair tracking from issue to resolution.

• Verify the fix: Know whether the work actually solved the problem. Monaire checks equipment performance after service and tracks improvements in energy use, comfort, repair costs, and equipment health.
