Even within the commercial dishwasher space, there's some pretty different versions. I worked at a hotel where we had normal smallish cube dishwashers [1] for some of the smaller restaurants, but they also had an ~8foot long conveyor belt dishwasher for one of the busier restaurants, and for the banquet section they had a ~20+ foot conveyor belt dishwasher[2].

They also had multiple dishwasher stations just to deal with pots and pans that were similar to 1, but way bigger. I once fit a huge stainless steel butchers sink in one (iirc it was like 6.5x4ft? They could fit a whole pig, or half a cow in it)

2: Similar to https://sc01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1DzUTn0zJ8KJjSspk762F7VXav/231... They needed it because they'd have 1000+ people/night for banquets (sometimes even 1000+ people in a single banquet)
