60-Room Boutique Hotel, Latin America — US$30K Capex Saved

The challenge
The property’s banquet kitchen was hand-scrubbing hotel pans and stock pots after events, and an imported pot washer quote exceeded the kitchen-fit-out budget.
The solution
A single CE-UWL at US$9,999 FOB landed well under the imported quote, leaving budget for other build-out. The split door’s fold-down platform suited the compact wash area.
The outcome
Banquet cookware now clears in 3–5 minute cycles with consistent 85 °C sanitizing, and the property redirected the saved capital to dining-room upgrades.
- Imported quote exceeded the fit-out budget.
- CE-UWL saved ~US$30K in capex.
- Saved capital funded other upgrades.
