Do a search for tankless systems. They are mainly for a very small not very busy store. We have discussed this in detail before.

What is considered a "small" store?

number of machines or number of loads?

Pete,
On average - what has been your savings in gas usage in your "on demand" stores?
How long will it take to overcome first cost of buying and installing them?

The gas only burns when demand for hot water, IE quarters coming in. I have no idea what my savings are, I did not convert, I started tankless. I have had tanks, but can not compare very well as to volume or gas type, ie, propane vs NG. As for cost it took me about 5 mins to overcome the costs, which were about 1/3 of a new tank system and no floor space needed, mount them on the wall outside.. I realize not everyone can do this.
