Can also chime in on Bosch. Knock on wood, never any issues and no “talk to your dishes from your smartphone” IoT bullshit.

They do have that now, though. The control panel is as cryptic as ever, with certain settings only possible though divination (or a series of unlabeled button presses, I forget which).
But now some settings and wash modes are app-only. Still fully functional without an app, but frustrating I can't use the thing to it's fullest ability on it's own.
This has not been my experience with the one I got a few months back.
Maybe you don't use those settings?

Page 19, delayed start is only via app. And page 21 has the secrets to the "basic settings" that definitely requires the manual and patience to use.

Another happy Bosch customer here. Had a Whirlpool that leaked and caused water damage on the floors. Turns out Whirlpool happens to be the most basic level of dishwasher, KitchenAid is their nicer line. Anyway, got a mid-level Bosch and this thing cleans (and dries) waaaaay better than our old one could ever dream of.
I badly misunderstand the question; I thought you meant the job position, not the appliance.
I have no relevant advice for the latter situation.
Do you have relevant advice for the former one?
Emphasize proper maintenance of the space, equipment, and hygiene standards over speed in the beginning. They'll get faster over time but they'll never get less sloppy.
If they get to order a shift meal order it for them the first few times, so they know when to do it without burdening the kitchen and the appropriate price range for comped employee meals.
Make sure both the other BOH staff and the FOH are aware that they are new and the dush pit might get backed up more than usual, and to take the extra time to properly scrape plates and stack to make the new dishie's life easier while they get the hang of things.
I love my 6 year old siemens dishwasher. I absolutely hate my tumbledryer from siemens though.
I like the Beko we got a few years ago. They compete well with Bosch.

I've got a Bosch (Serie 6) too and I'm happy with it overall.
Just one problem: It doesn't dry my airfryer pot very well. I only got my first airfryer recently so I'm not sure if all dishwashers struggle with large non-stick coated pots.
Also here in the down under they've got a different product line and there are no models that can pop open their doors. IIRC it was Miele that started doing this first so I always suspected if they got into any legal trouble (didn't do any digging, just a wild guess). Considered Miele, just way too expensive here.
Edit: Ours have touch panels tho, so fewer features are locked behind apps. IIRC in the US Bosch has more traditional control panels so e.g. you can't adjust timers down to minutes without their app?
On a side note, I recommend not putting anything non-stick in the dishwasher. The combination of high-pressure, high-temperature jets of water, plus the surfactants in the detergent, all work together to break down that non-stick coating faster than you’d believe. You’ll seriously shorten the life—or at least the non-stick functionality—of any non-stick vessel you put in there. Hope that doesn’t sound judgy or anything—you do you—but the pan will stay non-stick longer if you wash it by hand with a non-stick-safe sponge.
Perhaps it's just marketing talks but dishwasher-safe was literally one of their selling points (Phillips). I hope it holds up to their reputation. The pot is quite tricky to hand wash.
I did lose one or two cheap fry pans to dishwashers. But two or three years ago I got a decent Tefal. It's 'dishwasher-safe but hand wash if you can'. I only hand wash if it needs a good scrub though. Still going strong, and that's good enough for me.
Newer Bosch lock SOME features behind their app. There are literally no buttons for it, you HAVE to have a smartphone and internet and you HAVE to use their app to use the features.
EDIT: clarified that it’s only some features
I bought a Fisher-Paykel dishwasher from a friend (lots of high end brands will give you a “free” dishwasher with purchase of bigger appliances) for $400 and I’ve been thrilled with it A lot of people sell their free dishwasher cheap
Another vote for Bosch. It's one of those products where the premium is worth it, especially if you're bothered by dishwasher noise.
My biggest gripe with my dishwasher is that it doesn’t vent the steam without me opening the door after the wash, and there is no alert to when the wash is done.
Before you buy one, look up how much replacement parts cost for whatever new machine you are considering. I had to get a new one a few years back because the filter in my old one kept getting clogged, and could not be replaced. You had to replace a larger part that cost almost 200 dollars.
Bosch
Whatever the local small sales and service guy sells. There are a bunch of good ones - but the local guy will know what they need to service more often and what they can get parts for if you need it.
He sells whoever he is partnered with, my uncle is that guy, he will sell you a shitty Maytag
