Which dishwasher does a restaurant need?
A restaurant dishwasher should not be chosen solely on the number of guests per day. The key question is how much must be processed at the time of peak load.
What needs to be considered?
- place settings/hour and peak-time load;
- cycle time;
- ratio of plates, glasses and other tableware;
- space requirement;
- water quality;
- operating staff and workflow;
- serviceability.
Typical selection mistakes
- A machine that is too small – can cause bottlenecks at peak times.
- A machine that is too large – can mean an unnecessary investment and poorer utilisation.
- Choosing on purchase price alone – the total cost of operation and service support are overlooked.
Not sure which machine you need?
A few basic details are enough for an initial assessment of the right capacity: what textiles or dishes you process, in what quantity, how many hours a day you operate, how much space is available and which utilities are on site.
