My church has a lot of social gatherings and we also sponsor many dinners as a way to raise funds. The problem is that the health department said that we needed to make sure that the dishes that we use get properly sanitized. We decided to purchase a warewashing machine because it will truly sanitize the dishes. We found a dealer that sells used units and we absolutely love it. It has definitely taken a huge burden off of us and we use it all of the time. It is definitely worth what we paid for it and it is even under warranty.
