Are you in the market for a new commercial dishmachine? Here are some practical tips to help you choose the best option for your foodservice business.
Your first step should be figuring out the right size for your needs. Commercial dishwashers are usually measured by how many racks they can handle per hour. To calculate this, multiply the number of items per person by the number of people served per hour, then divide by 20 (since each rack holds about 20 pieces). For instance, if your table settings include a dinner plate, salad plate, soup bowl, water glass, and wine glass, and you serve 200 guests per hour, you'll need a machine capable of processing around 60 racks per hour—calculated as 200 guests × 5 items ÷ 20 = 60 racks. It's crucial to base this calculation on peak demand rather than average daily traffic to ensure you don't run out of clean dishes during busy hours.
Another key decision is whether to go with a high-temperature or low-temperature machine. High-temp dishwashers sanitize dishes using hot water, saving money by eliminating the need for chemical sanitizers while preventing chlorine damage to the equipment. However, if your water supply doesn't reach the necessary temperature, opt for a low-temp model that uses chemicals instead. Health inspectors generally require rinse temperatures between 170°F and 212°F to ensure all bacteria are eliminated. Test strips can verify these temperatures and are useful for compliance checks.
When choosing dish racks, consider the following factors: What types of glasses will you be washing? Will the racks double as storage units? Racks come in various sizes depending on the diameter of the glasses they hold. Using mismatched racks can lead to breakage or wasted space. Additionally, if you plan to store items in the racks, invest in extra racks, dollies, and covers to facilitate easy movement and maintain cleanliness.
