Restaurants & Cafes Equipment — DK Services NW
Commercial dishwashers, glasswashers, ice machines and bottle coolers for restaurants and cafés — with the kitchen, not just the bar, in mind. Hire from £10 a week or buy outright, delivered and installed with free callouts for life on hire.
In a restaurant the dishwasher usually matters most, followed by a compact bar setup. Here's how we approach each machine.
The priority in most restaurant kitchens. An under-counter dishwasher (£25/week) suits cafés and smaller restaurants; a pass-through dishwasher (£48/week) is built for high cover counts.
Hire from £25/week • Buy from £1,655
Keeps wine glasses and tumblers out of the kitchen dishwasher. A 12–14 pint under-counter model is usually enough for a restaurant bar.
Hire from £18/week • Buy from £995
For soft drinks, cocktails and chilled desserts. Most restaurants are well served by a 22kg or 44kg machine.
Hire from £18/week • Buy from £995
Upright glass-door coolers show off wines, soft drinks and bottled beers front-of-house; back-bar units fit neatly under a service counter.

A dishwasher going down mid-service means a pile-up in the kitchen. That's why we focus on reliability and fast fixes.
We size the dishwasher to your covers and keep glassware separate where possible, so everything comes out clean and service keeps moving.
We check doorways, worktop heights and drainage before installation, so a pass-through or under-counter unit fits your kitchen first time.
On hire, engineer callouts are free for the life of the agreement, with two services a year included.
Smaller cafés often just need a compact dishwasher and a single glass-door cooler. We won't oversell you kit you don't need.

Most restaurants and cafés use an under-counter dishwasher (£25/week). High-volume restaurants with large cover counts are better suited to a pass-through dishwasher (£48/week).
It's worth it if you serve wine or cocktails. Glasswashers are designed for glassware, and keeping glasses out of the kitchen dishwasher gives better results. Glasswashers start at £18/week.
£48 per week on hire or £2,795 to buy outright (ex VAT), with free delivery and installation.
Yes. Many cafés just need a compact dishwasher and a bottle cooler, and we'll recommend the smallest setup that does the job.
