Dishwashing and Sanitation Financing

When the dish pit falls behind, the whole restaurant slows down. Cooks run out of sauté pans, servers wait on clean glasses, and plates stack up in the window. A dish machine that matches your volume keeps the flow moving and helps you pass health inspections with clean, properly sanitized ware.

Dish machines also use a lot of water, energy, and chemicals, so an efficient model can lower your monthly costs. Financing lets you upgrade now and pay over time. MissionFund compares options from 60+ lending sources to find the right fit.

Dishwashing Equipment We Help You Finance

  • 01

    Door Type Dishwashers

    Also called pass through or upright machines, door type dishwashers take a full rack at a time and finish a cycle in about a minute or two. They're the standard for mid volume restaurants, cafes, and bakeries. Choose high temperature models, which use a booster heater to sanitize with hot water, or low temperature models, which sanitize with chemicals and need less electrical work. Corner models fit tight dish rooms. Refurbished door type machines are common and can save a lot.

  • 02

    Conveyor Dishwashers

    Conveyor machines pull racks through wash, rinse, and sanitize zones continuously, so staff load one end and unload the other. Banquet halls, hospitals, universities, and busy full service restaurants need this kind of throughput. Look at racks per hour, the length of the machine, direction of travel, and heat recovery options that reduce the load on your hood. Conveyor machines require careful planning for drains, electrical, and venting, and most are bought new.

    Glass Washers

    Bars and taprooms go through glassware fast, and a dedicated glass washer keeps up without tying up the main dish machine. Undercounter units fit behind the bar, while rotary and brush style washers handle high volume. Pay attention to cycle time and whether you need a low temperature chemical model to avoid thermal shock on glassware. A spotless glass also matters for beer foam and presentation, so rinse aid dosing is worth checking.

    Sanitation Stations

    Sanitation stations include three compartment sinks, handwashing sinks, pre rinse units, dish tables, and chemical dispensing systems. Health codes require most of them, and food trucks and ghost kitchens need compact versions. When you buy, check sink bowl sizes against your largest pans, look for stainless steel gauge, and plan the drain layout. Chemical dispensers help staff use the right amount of sanitizer every time. New stainless is affordable, so many owners buy new.

Why Finance Dishwashing Equipment Instead of Paying Cash

A dish machine is not the most exciting purchase, but it's one you can't skip. Financing keeps your cash available for food, payroll, and the other surprises of running a restaurant.

It also keeps your credit lines open and lets you upgrade to an efficient machine that cuts water, energy, and chemical use sooner. Those savings can help cover the payment. Dishwashing equipment may qualify for Section 179 deductions; check with your tax professional.

What Your Financing Can Include

Depending on the lender, your financing can cover:

  • Delivery and removal of your old machine
  • Plumbing, drains, and water hookups
  • Booster heaters and electrical work
  • Condensate hoods or venting for high temperature machines
  • Dish tables and racks
  • Chemical dispensing setup and staff training

Programs That Work Well for Dishwashing Equipment

  • Program

    $1 Buyout Lease

    Make lease payments, then own it for one dollar at the end, a good fit for a machine you plan to run for many seasons.

  • Program

    Fair Market Value (FMV) Lease

    Lower payments with the option to upgrade or return the machine later, which can suit high volume operators who replace dish machines on a regular cycle.

New Business or Established, We Can Help

Startups can apply for equipment financing from day one, so your dish room is ready for opening day. Established restaurants can finance an upgrade when volume outgrows the current machine. Many owners pair a dish machine with new refrigeration, and you can see every category on our restaurant equipment financing page.

What You'll Need

For requests under $150K, you can often get approved on the application alone. Larger projects may call for financial statements. Funding usually needs only your driver's license and the equipment invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question?

Talk to a real person. We're happy to walk you through your options.

Should I choose a high temperature or low temperature dishwasher?

High temperature machines sanitize with hot water, dry faster, and use fewer chemicals, but they need a booster heater and more electrical capacity. Low temperature machines cost less to install and rely on chemical sanitizer. Your installer can help you decide based on your building.

Can I finance a refurbished dish machine?

Often, yes. Many lenders finance refurbished equipment from an established dealer. We'll match you with lending sources that accept used and refurbished machines.

Can financing include the plumbing and electrical work?

Depending on the lender, installation costs like plumbing, drains, and electrical can be included. Get an itemized quote so we can present the full cost.

Is financing a dish machine better than leasing one through a chemical company?

It depends on your needs. Owning or financing the machine gives you control over the equipment and your chemical supplier. We can walk you through the options so you can compare.
