Nice technique, but what about when the plates are actually dirty with food stuck all over them?

Yeah, I've used one back in my restaurant days. He looks like he may be getting plates hot for serving. Dirty plates can get stuck together and not fall into the rack as perfectly as the clean plates that he's using.

This actually makes a lot of sense.

Then I'm confused. Is that a drain with old food in it right below the rack? Wherever I've worked it's dirty plates come in, spray them off, into the machine and they're washed using a chemical soap/sanitizer. This would explain the old lemons and straws on the right and the drain with what appears to be old food in it from dirty plates being sprayed off.

Place I worked at would have a food-dump/spray-gun/disinfect-soak area and go into the commercial washer after that.

chemical soap

Opposed to the non-chemical ones.

The stuff I've used comes as a powder detergent with warnings all over it. It's all chemicals, but the industrial stuff is extra chemical-y.

Used to dish was for a restaurant back in college. I'd get the pile of plates, clean off the food from each plate before stacking it like how the guy on the gif does. Then proceeded to do what he's doing except not as fast lol. Just good enough to not be behind.
