Glasswasher payback
Is your bar still paying staff to stand at the sink?
Put in your real busy-service wash time, then price it against live Craven glasswashers. The result is deliberately honest: if the saved time cannot be used elsewhere, the tool will tell you to keep hand washing.

What this is grounded in
- Craven’s warewashing guide figures in the site cheat sheet: hand labour 1.5 min per cover, machine labour 0.3 min per cover, 3-4 racks/hour buying trigger, 40-60 racks/hour hood/pass-through band, 82°C final rinse benchmark.
- Machine running cost follows the existing Craven dishwasher true-cost tool: 1 kWh per 3 racks at £0.27/kWh, plus £0.12 per rack detergent and rinse aid.
- Glasswasher product capacity comes from live product copy where available, e.g. Classeq C500: 25 pint glasses per rack, up to 40 racks/hour, up to 1000 glasses/hour.
- Finance is only shown when the selected live product price is over £1,000, using Craven’s documented 5-year finance convention. Subject to status.
