The supermarket chain Coop will open what it is calling the “Supermarket of the Future” in Strakonice, South Bohemia. The store is built around the ideals of innovation and transparency, officials said, and merging physical and digital by augmenting a traditional food market with interactive displays and smart shelves designed to make shopping more relevant and personalized. Display screens that overhang products provide information about an item — including its origins, nutritional facts, the presence of allergens, waste disposal instructions, correlated products and promotions — triggered by customer gestures. Customers can go groceries 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At the exit, instead of a checkout register and cashier, there are simply automated gates that open when you pay with a credit card. In the first half of 2022, Coop wants to open two or three other stores in the country. “Any further development depends on the success of the first store. We have no reference framework because there is nothing similar in the Czech Republic,” said Lukáš Němčík, Marketing Director. Traditional shelving layouts have been rethought and associated with a touch application which enables the customer to navigate through the product categories, to filter and search for...

The holidays are getting closer and closer every day and you have not yet decided how to make your Christmas dinner really special, then I have an idea for you. If you are a real hedonist, esthete, and lover of everything beautiful, you must have already been to Café Milleme. Prague Morning has already published several articles about the history, interior and special offers of this place. Everyone praises this place, and I understand why. The patisserie itself is located in the very center of the city: it is easy to spot it by the window, through which you will see the desserts that look like a real work of art. If you go inside, you will immediately find an interior designed in the same style and incredibly clean showcase, full of the most aesthetic delicacies for every taste. I would like to highlight the New Year collection. Yes, yes, desserts here are changed depending on the season, each collection differs from the previous one and, in addition…. they are limited! Have you ever seen Christmas ball-shaped desserts? Each of them is unique and has the name of the city with which the ingredients are most associated. For example, cherries,...
Quick commerce startup Grovy has finalized a €3 million financing round led by Lighthouse Ventures. The funds will be used for further expansion across Central and Eastern Europe, with offices already running in Prague and Bucharest. The startup has already established traction in the crowded German market by focusing on customer service, a positive and fair work culture, and sustainability. The rise of same-day (and same-hour) grocery delivery in Europe has been rapid and not without teething problems. First, many players in the space still rely on significant mark-ups, which can be as high as 20%. Second, many delivery companies depend on gig workers, who are often underpaid and overworked. Lastly, supply chain inefficiencies and food waste have plagued the grocery industry for decades, leaving plenty of room for improvement in sustainability. Grovy is looking to improve retail grocery in all three of these areas. Grovy leverages a network of strategically located dark warehouses to bring supermarket products to people within 10 minutes. While a 15-20% markup from supermarket prices is normal in grocery delivery, Grovy has pledged to never go beyond a 5% markup. Now, Grovy sets its sights on Central and Eastern Europe, where the startup envisions to...
The traditional Czech Christmas food carp has gone up to 120 CZK per kilogram this year. The country’s largest South Bohemian fish farms have announced an average price increase of 10% due to higher production costs associated with inflation. Prices will differ depending on the region and specific manufacturers. The carp in Czech culture The carp plays a significant role in Czech culture. Its appearance makes it the hero of illustrated fairy tales, but it is above all the symbol par excellence of the Christmas festivities and the species that dominates the fish market. Those who reside at seaside resorts, turn up their nose at this fat fish, full of spines, that lives in mud and stagnant water, but for a country that does not have an access to the sea, it has the advantage that it can be reared in artificial lakes. Already widespread in the Middle Ages, it was a valuable source of protein during the days of abstinence imposed by Christianity. The cheapest ones are from Nové Hrady, while the most expensive are from Třeboň, famous throughout the country as the homeland of local carp, so much so that a statue of a carp has been placed...
The Czech online restaurant reservation service Restu.cz will cease operation by 31 December 2021. The main reason is the crisis in the restaurant business caused by the coronavirus epidemic.

Shortly after entering the doors of El Gaucho the initial feeling one detects is that of confidence. The reasoning behind this is simple: El Gaucho knows how good their food is. Experience does that. There are locations stretching from Southeast Asia into Europe, which helps to ensure how special this dining experience will be. Prague has its fair share of Argentinian steakhouses, but, after El Gaucho opened its doors in June, none of them seem relevant. There is no better steakhouse found in the capital. El Gaucho is in a league of its own with two locations found here. One is mere minutes away from the Old Town Square and the second – opened very recently – is located in Dejvice. The sheer breadth of the menu is slightly overwhelming at first, but the staff is there and will advise you if needed. Service is friendly, helpful and exceedingly professional. The staff, at times, can seem invisible, but they appear exactly at the moment needed while also paying close attention not to interrupt your meal. The level of quality found at El Gaucho is so high one could have an amazing meal just from the starters on offer. Beginning with...
Bolt will expand its fast grocery service to Sweden, Poland and the Czech Republic by January after entering the booming business of couriering drinks and snacks to users earlier this year. Bolt’s founder Markus Villig raised $600 million from investors in August in a bid to reposition the ride-hailing startup as a “super-app” covering taxis, scooters, short-term car rentals, food delivery, and now fast commerce. The Tallinn, Estonia-based startup already ships groceries via couriers in seven European countries but will expand further into Eastern Europe and Scandinavia in 2022. In the Czech Republic, Bolt will face competition from local rivals like Rohlik, and Wolt, which was acquired by DoorDash for $8.1 billion in November. Villig says Bolt would be able to build out its grocery delivery network faster and more efficiently, thanks to the infrastructure it already had in place to support ride-hailing and electric scooter hire. “It is much easier for us to add new products on top of that platform rather than building that all out from scratch,” says Villig, CEO and cofounder of Bolt. “So that is why from the outside it looks like we are expanding to so many countries at such a rapid pace—we would...
Antonie, Bluestar, Ballerina or Laura. These are the name of domestic potato varieties. And it is with them that a new restaurant concept has been born. Brambory (Potatoes), yes this is the name (blunt and to the point, we like it), is being opened by the gastronomic group Together in Pankrác, Prague. And yes, potatoes will obviously play a major role in it. Chef Lukáš Soukup and his team want to show that these traditional vegetables don’t have to be just a boring side dish – or that they don’t have to be a side dish at all. The Together Group stands for companies such as the Vinohrady Parliament, Sia, Bruxx or Cukrář Skála, and since November you will also find it close to the Arkády shopping center in Pankrác. Brambory will serve dishes supplemented with potato varieties from around the world. Do you like potatoes like fries, patatas bravas, tortillas, in soup, with squid, or even ceviche? All this will be possible here. But of course, also in the classic potato salad, mash, or croquettes. “The more we became interested in the details about the potatoes, we found it interesting to show that the potato is not just a...
The Czech online supermarket Rohlik has reached out to help small farmers and entrepreneurs who have been hit by the ban on Christmas markets On its Twitter account, the company opened the possibility for small sellers or farmers to contact Rohlík and offer their goods directly through the online supermarket. Rohlik.cz said it would be able to start selling their products online within three days. “We want to help small producers and producers! For them, closing the Christmas markets can significantly reduce sales. The pandemic situation is serious, but we have a solution. We offer producers the opportunity to sell with us,” says Rohlík’s PR manager Denisa Morgensteinová. “People have the opportunity to join this initiative through an online form. We will contact them and then offer their products on our website and distribute it to people,” Morgenstein told iDNES.cz. According to Morgenstein, the assortment can include gift items, as well as food and drinks. “It is clear that we will not deliver a warm svařák (mulled wine) or crawfish. However, we are trying to come up with some solutions and include the classic products that are sold on the Christmas markets,” she adds. “We are trying to help farmers...
