Commercial Dishwashers

Written by Karen Bates (last updated February 3, 2020)

Other than preparing food and serving customers, one of the most important parts of working in the food service industry is the cleaning aspect. Of course, there is a lot of cleaning involved in the restaurant business, and how efficiently you can clean up can impact how well the business will do overall.

For those working in food preparation, having the right commercial dishwasher is vital for the business to run as smoothly as possible. Using a dishwasher that is inefficient or in bad repair can cause a lack of cleanliness. Failure to keep dishes clean to your customers' expectations can be damaging to your business and your reputation, so selecting the right commercial dishwasher is important. Your customers are likely to judge your establishment based on cleanliness, so make a good impression.

If your commercial kitchen needs a dishwasher, you will have to decide what type will work best. You should ask yourself a few questions in order to help you select a good dishwasher:

  • How much room do you have? Be certain that the size of your commercial kitchen can accommodate the dishwasher you are considering. The last thing you want is to end up with an appliance that is way too big for the area. Because of this, you will need to carefully measure the space you have and get plenty of information about the appliance before purchase.
  • How big do you need the dishwasher to be? Figure out how many dishes you will need to wash at a time. This will help you decide what capacity you should be looking for in a commercial dishwasher.
  • What is your budget? It is important to get a quality product, but odds are good that you must stay within a certain budget without overspending. Decide how much you are able to spend on the dishwasher, and you will narrow down your search considerably.
  • What kind of dishwasher will you need? Commercial dishwashers come in several types. Some of your choices include conveyor, hood, door, and under counter types. Depending on how your kitchen is set up and what your cleaning needs are, you may need a specific type.

Commercial dishwashers make cleaning up in the food industry much more convenient and efficient. Finding a dishwasher with the right capacity and in a style that will meet your kitchen's needs is important to your restaurant's success.
