Maybe if you had special laser cleanable dishes? Or semi reusable dishes where you have a very thin bioplastic film that is applied with a machine, thin enough to make cost and environmental concerns less relevant, and then on the bottom you have an air hole. Compressed air up it blows the film off and you start again. Then the same hole is used to vacuum form the new film, while a computer vision camera makes sure everything happened correctly. Could you make it thin enough to be less wasteful than the water to actually wash?
