Case Study: Kabuki Restaurant – How ACRO Saved $54,000 with Smarter Refrigeration Repair
Location: Stamford Plaza Hotel, Brisbane
Client: Kabuki Restaurant
Service: Commercial Refrigeration Repair
Savings: Over $54,000

❄️ The Problem
When the built-in four-door display cabinet at Kabuki Restaurant inside the prestigious Stamford Plaza Hotel in Brisbane broke down, the initial recommendation from a consultant was drastic:
“Replace the entire unit and complete associated building works – total cost $60,000.”
For most businesses, especially high-end venues with limited downtime flexibility, this kind of repair quote can seem unavoidable. Fortunately, the hotel decided to seek a second opinion before committing.
🔧 The ACRO Solution
The team at ACRO Refrigeration was brought in to assess the situation. Our technicians:
-
Conducted a detailed on-site inspection
-
Diagnosed the real issue
-
Developed a targeted, cost-effective repair plan
💡 Result?
We repaired the existing display cabinet for under $6,000 — with no need for building alterations or major disruption.
✅ The Outcome
-
✔️ The display cabinet is fully operational
-
✔️ The hotel saved over $54,000
-
✔️ No unnecessary building works, noise, or service disruption
-
