As the WEp1 credit language stipulates, you need to include kitchen sinks and pre-rinse spray valves, but not other common items like dishwashers.When documenting the credit in LEED Online, you would set up a fixture group for the kitchen that shows appropriate FTE/usage numbers.

Tatjana's question is a good one. In a restaurant scenario, it stands to reason that the number of kitchen sink uses per FTE and duration would be much higher than say in an office breakroom. However, I haven't found any published guidance from USGBC that would differentiate the two.
