CEWE has found a modern replacement for the classic canteen thanks to Eat Smart
After 15 years with a classic company canteen, CEWE's Prague headquarters, which most associate mainly with photo printing and photo gifts, wanted a change. It did not suit the staff that they had to share the dining room with external diners, and the menu was not to their liking either. Therefore, CEWE decided to try the smart corporate catering solution Eat Smart. In the HOPI holding, which is based in Modletice near Prague, they have long been looking at how to simplify the daily meals of employees. There was a lack of a convenient option of quality food right in the workplace. Most people carried their food from home or had to leave for nearby restaurants during the day. This meant unnecessary waste of time, disruption of the working rhythm, as well as less comfort.
“For many years we have operated with a classic canteen. But over time, it became clear that this model no longer suits us. The space shared with visitors from the outside was not ideal for our team, and even the food offer did not always match our ideas. Eat Smart caught our eye at first sight — a modern, smart and healthy approach to eating for employees. After the personal presentation and tasting, we no longer had doubts. It was clear we were going for it. “
Installation went smoothly - it was enough to find a suitable place and plug the refrigerator into the outlet.
“We also appreciate the approach of the Eat Smart team — they are reliable, responsive and responsive. In short, ideal partners for everyday operation. “
The reaction of the staff was more than positive.
“They were curious, they kept trying new flavors and appreciated having quick but healthy food on hand at any time. “
From the company's point of view, the solution also brought practical benefits — the worry of running the canteen was eliminated, costs were reduced and the whole system was significantly easier to manage.
“In addition, it fits into our benefit program — it promotes a healthy lifestyle, mental well-being, natural movement and a balanced diet. “
