Warewashing Equipment for Hospitality

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, not hours, 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.

Dishwashers handle plates, cutlery and cookware with higher heat and more robust wash action. Many venues need both to cover all bases.

Trade Insight: Capacity and Performance

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.

Small venues with 10-40 seats typically need undercounter machines handling 30-50 racks per hour. Medium restaurants with 40-100 seats require 60-100 racks per hour, often best served by larger undercounter or smaller pass-through models.

High-volume operations serving 100+ covers need pass-through machines processing 150+ racks hourly.

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.

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.

Do I need a water softener for my glasswasher or dishwasher?

Yes, if you have hard water (above 7° Clark or 100 ppm). Water softeners prevent limescale buildup, improve wash results, extend equipment life and are often required by manufacturers to maintain warranty coverage.
