Buying A Commercial Dishwasher

While many restaurant owners feel as though a commercial dishwasher is not a necessity, very often after they open and realize how much time and money it will save, they realize that they may in fact need one.

While there are several types of commercial dish machines available, the under counter dishwasher is gaining in popularity. These not only save space, but they are energy efficient, easy to load and dont use a lot of water. While they are an investment, once you begin using one and you see the money you save on these things plus employee costs, youll see that it will quickly pay for itself.

Which Brand To Buy?

There are several brands that make high quality machines, so the best way to figure out what you want is to do some research and decide what is most important to you. Brands such as CMA, Jackson, Insinger, Champion and Eurodib all make excellent quality products that will work in your restaurant.

Size and Space

Unless you have an enormous restaurant kitchen such as that of a large banquet hall or hotel, space is usually going to be an issue. You can buy a commercial dishwasher in several sizes so youll need to measure your area to see where you can put it and how much actual space you have. Even the best commercial dishwashers will not be useful if you choose one that doesnt fit the space and flow of your kitchen.

Number of Dishes

A busy kitchen is going to go through a lot of dishes in a night. If you are going to be running your dishwasher at a constant pace, youll want to get one that runs through the cycle fast. The Jackson Avenger HT High-Temperature Undercounter Dishmachine not only runs through the dishes super fast, it can also run 24 racks of dishes per hour in a tight space.

Budget

Of course budget is always something to be concerned about when buying any commercial product. Once youve started looking at dishwashers, youll find that they vary greatly in price, so its best to decide on which features you absolutely need before beginning your search. Once youve set your budget, youll then be able to narrow it down to exactly which features are worth the price and which are not.

Buying a commercial dishwasher is a huge step for many restaurant owners who may have never had one in the past, but with the right amount of time and research, you should have no problem finding exactly what you need at a price you can afford. Youll be amazed at the amount of time and money you save with just this one piece of equipment in your kitchen.
