GLASSWASHER

Guide for selecting the correct machine

A glasswasher is an indispensable tool for hotels, restaurants and accommodation providers, as well as bars, canteens and guesthouses. The ability to consistently guarantee clean and shiny glasses quickly both increases productivity and considerably improves the image of the business from a customer perspective. Customers do not appreciate their drinks being served in jaded or stained glasses – or glasses which have become unsightly from repeated washing.

So how do you choose the optimum glasswasher for your professional food service business? This handy article provides a list of selection criteria to help you when you are looking to buy or replace a glasswasher.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY A POWERFUL GLASSWASHER?

A glasswasher (or a cupwasher) is certainly must-have equipment for all businesses serving drinks: whether a quaint bistro or a large luxury hotel, a retirement home or a hospital. In any establishment where large quantities of glasses or cups are continually in use on a daily basis, there is a need to guarantee customers the highest levels of hygiene and cleanliness, and it has to look good.

Professional glasswashers are specially designed for the specific requirements of quick throughput and high performance. As a leading provider of cutting-edge warewashing solutions worldwide, MEIKO is turning extra attention to this product category, with a particular focus on technology, design, efficiency and practical operation.

FIVE RULES FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT DISHWASHING MACHINE

Versatility: a good glasswasher must be versatile and allow you to efficiently wash and disinfect not only normal glasses but cups, espresso cups, wine glasses, beer glasses and more. The reasons for this are obvious: every bar and food service business serves a range of different drinks with different properties and colours. That is why you should always look at size and performance when choosing the right glasswasher.
Space requirements: the little bar on the corner and the kitchen in a large luxury hotel differ greatly in terms of the space they have available. The little bar needs a compact, easily accessible product with no barriers, one that can easily be integrated with the other activities taking place behind the bar. A large hotel, on the other hand, has no restrictions or stipulations in this area. Both definitely need an efficient dishwashing machine, though.
Performance: speed, as little consumption as possible in terms of water and detergents, quality of the materials and technology used in the professional washing system, minimum resource consumption and meeting the quality and quantity requirements of the business where the glasswasher is installed – all these are necessary criteria for making the right choice of dishwashing machine.
Design: Without a doubt, the look of a product is important. Imagine a dishwashing machine which is not only functional and efficient but also truly beautiful, catching every eye at the bar. That is a branding bonus for any business.
Durability: A good quality glasswasher uses materials and technology that require only minimal maintenance, meaning very little down time (don't forget: in the food service industry, down time is absolutely key!)
