4 Things to Consider When Choosing a Commercial Dishwasher

Dishwashing plays a major role in how successfully a commercial kitchen operates, and without a quality dishwashing technology, you won’t be able to fulfil the legal sanitisation requirements, let alone provide spotless dishes, glasses, and utensils quickly for your customers.

Think about it, nothing ruins a restaurant experience as much as a dirty plate can. Thus, given that choosing a great commercial dishwasher is an important decision, there are four key factors that you need to consider.

1. Size and Capacity

Before you start looking for a commercial dishwasher, you need to measure things up9*/865741./8791621

Will a specific dishwasher model work for your busy kitchen space? Think about how many dishes you need to cover during a typical service hour. Does the dishwasher’s capacity meet your needs? Will the customers wait for a clean plate every time?

Keep in mind that sometimes size does matter. If your dishwasher is too compact, it might not be the right fit on a busy restaurant day when diners want their new plate to be served fast. Thus, size vs. capacity is a compromise that you must make before making a purchase.

2. Type of Dishwasher

Another important 

consideration that you need to make is the type of dishwasher that you need for your restaurant: Under-counter: Under-counter dishwashers are excellent for smaller commercial kitchens since the compact space is easier to reach and move the plates, for a steady flow of dishes throughout the serving hours.

• Pass-through: A pass-through dishwasher is perfect for quick use and fast turnaround of high dishwashing volumes, passing dirty crockery spotless and ready to serve immediately.
    
• Conveyor: For larger commercial kitchens, conveyor dishwashers are the right choice, as they’re more powerful, and most of them are manufactured for high-scale use to handle a high volume of dishes, with the latest touch controls and efficiency modules.

3. Ease of Operation

Think about the functional aspects of your kitchen. Is there a feature that you desperately need for much better functionality?

Most of the dishwashers that we provide from our Eswood range are designed with ease of use in mind, as well as a range of settings that only add up to the efficiency of your machine when in use.

4. Costs and Savings

Are you running a small café or bistro that only needs an under-counter dishwasher? Or you own a fine-dining commercial kitchen where the conveyor style is more suitable?

When it comes to expenses, you need to consider your needs, as well as the ongoing costs such as electricity, water, and maintenance. For example, a professional Eswood conveyor dishwasher may have a higher cost at the beginning, but it is one of the smartest investments that you can make for a long-term energy efficiency and cost savings plan for your restaurant.
