Why Does an Office Fit Out Need a Commercial Dishwasher?

Now that offices and businesses are starting to open, workplaces are more careful than ever regarding health protocols – from ensuring that all workspaces are disinfected and cleaned regularly to ensuring that clean food and utensils are served in the office cafeteria. The demand for health and disinfection products, including commercial dishwashers, is continuously increasing. However, the use of a commercial washer is not only prominent for workplaces with cafeterias. Office dishwasher is now one of the most common office additions to ensure that employees’ cutlery and utensils are cleaned and sanitised for their protection. Using a dishwasher has also helped employees enjoy their lunch breaks better by automating the dishwashing and saving them time to do this task.

Benefits of an Office Fit Out Dishwasher

We’ve discussed some of the general advantages of having an office fit out dishwasher. Let’s dig deeper into to specific benefits of having a commercial dishwasher as an addition to your office.

  1. We became more cautious in sanitisation when the pandemic hit us. Now that things are starting to go back to normal, we are no longer complacent. Having a commercial dishwasher in your office can ensure sanitised utensils for your employees. Commercial dishwashers can reach the minimum water temperature needed to effectively kill bacteria, which is hard to maintain in manual dishwashing.
  2. Less utensil breakage. Having a machine do the work means less time for your staff to handle the kitchenware. This could lessen the chances of breaking the kitchenware and increasing safety.
  3. Time-saving. There are two main reasons why we use machines to automate the job: efficiency and accuracy. Using an office dishwasher can help save time and wash more dishes and kitchenware at the same time. This time can be used to work on some other tasks and duties in the kitchen.
  4. More eco-friendly. Compared to manual dishwashing by hand, using a commercial dishwasher for industrial dishwashing saves more water. There is no need to pre-wash the dishes, and each wash cycle uses less water than what is needed in manual dishwashing. Nowadays, commercial dishwashers like Rhima dishwashers are also now designed to be more energy efficient with optimised operational efficiency.

 

How to Decide Which Commercial Dishwasher Is Best For Your Space


There are many options for an office dishwasher. However, Rhima offers almost every type of dishwasher suitable for your office space. To help you decide on which commercial dishwasher is best for your space, here are some considerations and features to look for when buying a commercial dishwasher for your office fit out.

  • Types of dishwashers. There is no single dishwasher that fits all kinds of needs. However, at Rhima, there are tons of types of commercial dishwashers to choose from based on your needs. Here are some integrated dishwasher solutions that Rhima offers:
    • Glass Washers
    • Underbench Washers
    • Pass-Through and Utensil Washers

You can choose among these types to see which one fits best in your space.

  • Size and Capacity. The size and capacity of the dishwashing machine that you will use depend on the level of demand. If your office cafeteria tends to get busy, you may need to buy a bigger dishwasher, such as a pass-through dishwasher or a conveyor dishwasher. However, if you will only be using it for your employees to use, a small commercial dishwasher such as an under counter dishwasher may work.
  • Budget and Costing. Of course, this office equipment addition will cost you some fortune so the budget will be one of the considerations. You will need to consider both the upfront and ongoing costs such as energy and water usage, chemicals and detergents, and maintenance expenses.
  • Environmental-friendliness. It is best to look for brands that care for the environment as much as you do. Many commercial dishwasher models, such as Rhima dishwashers, are designed to be energy and water-efficient.
