ELI5: How come a restaurant dishwashing machine can cycle in 3 minutes, while at home mine takes several hours?

Like literally 3 hours and the dishes aren't even that dry..

Home dishwashers are made to stretch the wash cycle out to save money, using less water in short bursts, stuff like that. If your dishwasher is a newer model, it should have several options. One of those should be a quick wash, which you would use if you need the dishes washed in a hurry, more like a restaurant's. Only use that one if you're in a hurry, though. It's better to use the regular one to save energy and money.
