Whilst commercial dishwashers are considered essential in most large cafes and restaurants, many owners of small cafes make do without this appliance, as their owners have fewer dishes that require washing each day. However, even if a café is small, its owner should still consider purchasing this appliance for their premises. Here are some reasons why.

The cleanliness of their café's dishes will be consistently high

Regardless of whether a café owner serves lunch to ten customers or a hundred each day, they must ensure that the dishes these customers eat off of and the glasses or mugs they drink out of are completely clean. One major advantage of using a commercial dishwasher in this setting is that the café owner will know that their dishes and drinkware will always be washed in the same consistent manner every time.

This might not be the case if their staff members manually clean their dishes, as a person might, for example, accidentally use too much dishwashing soap and leave some soapy residue on the dishes, which might then contaminate and ruin the flavour of the food that the next customer eats off of those dishes. Similarly, if a person isn't concentrating when they're washing the café's used dishes, they might not notice and scrub off some dried-on sauce on a plate or not fully remove the lipstick mark off a drinking glass, in which case the next customer who dines from these dishes might assume the café is not a hygienic place to eat.

In contrast, if a café owner uses a dishwasher, this appliance will use the same amount of dishwashing product, wash the dishes in the same thorough way and rinse them properly, each and every time it's used, and there won't be any chance of customers complaining about the cleanliness of the dishes their meals are served on.

Having a dishwasher could give the owner more time to improve their cafe

Owners of small cafes are often just as busy as owners of much larger dining establishments. This is because whilst the former may serve fewer customers each day, they also tend to have fewer staff members and so end up doing a lot of the food prep, kitchen cleaning, dish-washing, table-waiting and admin work themselves.

If the owner of a small café feels run off their feet to the point where, by the end of the day, they have no energy left to plan ways to improve their enterprise, then getting a dishwasher could help them, by making their workload a little smaller and less tiring.

For example, if they currently spend an hour and a half in total each day on the process of soaking, scrubbing, rinsing, drying and putting away their cafes' dishes, and they get a dishwasher that does most of this work for them and only leaves them with the tasks of loading, unloading and putting away their dishes, they may find themselves with an extra hour of time. They could then use this to, for instance, focus on making their menu more interesting or redecorating their cafe to make it more attractive and comfortable.
