Restaurant Dishwashing

A dish pit at peak service is a loud, wet, fast environment with a three-compartment sink on one side and a conveyor or door-type machine on the other. The dishwasher scrapes plates, racks them so water reaches every surface, runs the cycle, and unloads hot dishes without dropping them. Glassware, flatware, sheet pans, and sauté pans each need a different approach.

The head camera shows the scraping motion into the trash, the spray wand knocking off residue, the way plates are angled into a rack, and the quick check of a dish coming out of the machine. For pots and pans, it records scrubbing with a scour pad, the chemical soak, and the rinse and sanitize steps in sequence. Fixed cameras cover the pit from above and from the kitchen side, synchronized with the head camera.

Most of the hard parts for a machine are tactile. A dishwasher feels the grease that did not come off and sends the pan back. They know a rack is full by weight and sound as much as by sight. They stack clean plates so the pile does not topple.
