It's a Wash: When you choose wisely, dishwashers will do your dirty work with ease

摘要

The dishwasher is one of the most important and also one of the most expensive equipment items in your kitchen. However, it doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves in the purchasing decision. It is certainly not a glamorous piece and not one chefs rave about. Although a customer may not appreciate its service either, they will surely feel its effect if the machine is not functioning. Not only does the dishroom take up a lot of space in your kitchen, its centerpiece, the dishwasher, is one of themost expensive single pieces of kitchen equipment you'll ever buy. You will spend 10,000 dollar for even a small upright single rack machine that can serve a restaurant of up to 100-120 seats. Medium sized restaurants over about 120-130 seats need a rack conveyor machine. One of these dishwashers may cost up to 20,000 dollar and more depending size, number of tanks, and accessories. After you add in a clean dish table, soiled dish table, final rime booster heater, and a few dish dollies and racks, it is not uncommon to spend 40,000 dollar or more. Since the dish-room contains a sizable portion of your restaurant's overall equipment budget, it will pay to have a basic understanding of some of what is available on the market.
