About the FIS Score

The Fridge.com Intelligence Score (FIS) is a 0-100 rating that measures how well a location supports efficient kitchen operation. It considers Grid Efficiency (local electricity costs), Nutritional Velocity (fresh food access), and Kitchen Economics (grocery costs vs. income). A higher score indicates better conditions for efficient refrigerator operation and food storage.
