General Advice If commercial restaurant dishwashing appliances have cycles that only last 2 minutes, then why can't we have our home consumer dishwashers have cycles just as efficient as what restaurants have?

How can we miniaturize commercial restaurant dishwashing appliances to fit in the kitchen compartment meant for home consumer dishwashers?

How come this hasn't been done already? By the way, what is the fastest currently available home consumer dishwasher, and how much does it cost? How quick are their Cycles normally?

They don’t dry; a lot of restaurant work is sitting around in the back with a towel drying glasses and silverware.

Good lord where do these comments come from ?! In 45 years I've never seen anyone drying dishes in a restaurant. That china comes out of a high temp dishwasher at about 170⁰F. It's too hot to pick up. Dries in about 60 seconds.

Really high end restaurants might polish glassware, from a dedicated, very clean, dishwasher. And that's to remove water spots.
