Warewashing Equipment for Hospitality Venues
Every hospitality business needs warewashing equipment that works.
Whether you run a busy bar serving hundreds of drinks per night or a restaurant pushing out 200 covers during service, clean glasses and plates keep operations moving.
Commercial machines wash in minutes, reaching the temperatures required for food safety compliance while handling the volume domestic equipment simply cannot cope with.
Choosing between a glasswasher and a dishwasher depends on what you serve:
Glasswashers use lower temperatures and gentler cycles to protect delicate glassware from clouding and damage, essential for bars and venues serving wine, cocktails and draft beer.
Dishwashers handle plates, cutlery and cookware with higher heat and more robust wash action. Many venues need both to cover all bases.
We supply the complete warewashing range your venue needs:
Glasswashers Undercounter and pass-through models built for high-volume glassware. Gentle cycles protect delicate glassware from clouding and damage, ideal for bars, restaurants and hotels.
Dishwashers Machines built to clean crockery, cutlery and cookware in busy kitchens. Available in undercounter and pass-through configurations to match your covers and kitchen footprint.
Warewashing Accessories Baskets, chemicals, water softeners and everything else your setup needs to perform at full capacity, including descalers, rinse aids and rack systems.
Trade Insight: Choosing the Right Capacity Machine
Buying the wrong capacity machine creates problems fast.
Too small and you hit bottlenecks during service, with staff waiting for clean glasses or plates. Too large wastes space, electricity and water in a kitchen where every square metre counts.
Venue size
Covers
Recommended capacity
Small venue
10–40 seats
30–50 racks per hour (undercounter)
Medium restaurant
40–100 seats
60–100 racks per hour (undercounter or pass-through)
High-volume operation
100+ covers
150+ racks per hour (pass-through)
Do you need a water softener? Yes, if your water hardness is above 7° Clark (100 ppm). Water softeners prevent limescale buildup, improve wash results, extend equipment life and are often required by manufacturers to maintain warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a glasswasher and a dishwasher?
Glasswashers use lower temperatures and gentler cycles specifically for glassware, preventing clouding and damage. Dishwashers operate at higher temperatures with stronger wash action for plates, cutlery and cookware. Many venues need both to cover all bases.
How do I know what capacity warewashing machine I need?
Calculate based on your covers. Small venues (10–40 seats) need 30–50 racks per hour. Medium operations (40–100 seats) require 60–100 racks per hour. Large kitchens (100+ seats) need 150+ racks hourly capacity. If in doubt, our team can advise: Call 01256 769990.
