What is claimed is: 1. A warewash machine comprising: a housing at least in part defining a washing chamber having an access opening; a door mounted for movement between a closed position for washing and an open position for inlet/outlet of wares through the access opening, the door maintaining an upright orientation in both the closed position and the open position; at least one nozzle for emitting liquid into the washing chamber; and a table pivotably mounted to the machine for movement between a load/unload position and a storage position, in the load/unload position the table extends outward from the housing in a rack supporting orientation at a height corresponding to a lower edge of the access opening, in the storage position the table is retracted from the load/unload position, wherein in the storage position the table is within the washing chamber and inward of the door enabling the table to be cleaned by a washing operation of the machine. 2. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein a mount end of the table is within the washing chamber. 3. The warewash machine of claim 2, wherein the mount end of the table has a pivot axis that is substantially parallel to the lower edge of the access opening. 4. The warewash machine of claim 2, wherein the mount end of the table includes a bend extending between opposite side edges of the table and substantially parallel to the pivot axis. 5. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein in the load/unload position a free end of the table faces outward away from the housing and in the storage position a free end of the table faces upward. 6. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein in the load/unload position the table is angled slightly relative to horizontal to cause liquid on the table to flow toward the access opening. 7. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein the table is movable separately from the door and in a pivoting manner, and the door slides vertically upward and downward for movement between the open and closed positions. 8. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein in the load/unload position, the table extends from within the washing chamber and through the access opening and the table is supported at its inward end such that an area beneath the table is free of obstructions. 9. The warewash machine of claim 8, wherein in the load/unload position, the table being configured such that the door can be placed in the closed position. 10. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein the housing includes a lower housing that defines the lower edge of the access opening, wherein in the load/unload position the lower housing supports the table at a location spaced from a pivot axis of the table. 11. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein the table comprises a unitary metal sheet extending from a mount end of the table to a free end of the table. 12. The warewash machine of claim 1 wherein the table includes upwardly extending lips on at least three sides thereof. 13. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein a mount end of the table includes a pair of projections extending outwardly at opposite sides of the table, each projection received by a corresponding pivot mount that is mounted to the machine. 14. The warewash machine of claim 13, wherein each pivot mount includes an opening extending inwardly from a side surface of the respective pivot mount, the openings being shaped to receive the respective projections to allow the projections to rotate within the openings with respect to the pivot mounts as the table is rotated between the load/unload and storage positions. 15. The warewash machine of claim 1, wherein when the door is in its closed position the door prevents the table from moving from the load/unload position to the storage position. 16. A warewash machine comprising: a housing at least in part defining a washing chamber having an access opening; a door mounted for movement between a closed position for washing and an open position for inlet/outlet of wares through the access opening; at least one nozzle for emitting liquid into the washing chamber; and a table pivotably mounted to the machine for movement between a load/unload position and a storage position, in the load/unload position the table extends outward from the housing in a rack supporting orientation at a height corresponding to a lower edge of the access opening, in the storage position the table is retracted from the load/unload position, wherein the table has a first planar portion and a second planar portion, when in the load/unload position the first planar portion being offset vertically lower than the second planar portion such that the second planar portion is disposed below the lower edge of the access opening. 17. A warewash machine comprising: a housing at least in part defining a washing chamber having an access opening; a door mounted for movement between a closed position for washing and an open position for inlet/outlet of wares through the access opening; at least one nozzle for emitting liquid into the washing chamber; and a table connected to the machine for movement from a load/unload position and a storage position, in the load/unload position the table extends outwardly from the housing in a rack supporting orientation at a height corresponding to a lower edge of the access opening, in the storage position the table is retracted from the load/unload position, wherein the table is pivotally connected to the machine for pivotal movement separately from the door, a mount end of the table is positioned within the housing, in the load/unload position the table is angled slightly relative to horizontal to cause liquid on the table to flow toward the access opening, in the storage position a free end of the table faces upward. 18. The warewash machine of claim 17, wherein the table is connected to the machine at a location within the washing chamber. 19. The warewash machine of claim 17, wherein the table includes a bend extending between opposite side edges of the table, the bend having a contour that substantially corresponds to a contour of the lower edge of the access opening. 20. The warewash machine of claim 17, wherein in the storage position the table is within the washing chamber enabling the table to be cleaned by a washing operation of the machine. 21. The warewash machine of claim 20, wherein when the door is in its closed position the door prevents the table from moving from the load/unload position to the storage position. 22. The warewash machine of claim 17, wherein in the storage position the table is in a substantially vertical position. 23. The warewash machine of claim 17, wherein the table is supported at its inward end such that an area beneath the table is free of obstructions. 24. The warewash machine of claim 17 further comprising a rack support track positionable in first and second orientations within the washing chamber for having a dish rack rest thereon during washing, the rack support track including a substantially horizontal portion for vertically supporting a dish rack and an upright guide portion connected to and extending up from a side of the substantially horizontal portion, the upright guide portion configured to guide and position a side of a dish rack. 25. The warewash machine of claim 17, wherein a mount end of the table includes a pair of projections extending outwardly at opposite sides of the table, each projection received by a corresponding pivot mount that is mounted to the machine, and each pivot mount includes an opening extending inwardly from a side surface of the respective pivot mount, the openings being shaped to receive the respective projections to allow the projections to rotate within the openings with respect to the pivot mounts as the table is rotated between the load/unload and storage positions.
