Analysts predict a significant rise in the prices of fruits and vegetables in Czech stores. Reasons are different: the Czech crown currency’s recent weakening, spring frosts and a shortage of workers in agriculture. At the moment in Tesco supermarkets, bell peppers cost 80 CZK/kg, tomatoes 60 CZK/kg, and lemons 55 CZK/kg. These prices are about 30% more expensive than last year. Prices are expected to rise also in rice, as there is a significant increase in global demand. It is characteristic that, according to Reuters data, the price of rice has climbed to the highest levels since April 2013. Farmers all over the world feel the lack of employees, including major European suppliers – Great Britain, Spain, France and Italy. The numbers involved are substantial: France is short of about 200,000 workers until the end of May, while Spain has a shortfall of 70,000 to 80,000. Italy needs about 250,000 seasonal workers in the next two months, while the UK normally receives 70,000 to 80,000 over the season and Germany 300,000. The restrictions around the coronavirus outbreak have made it impossible for thousands of migrant workers to come and harvest crops in Spanish fields. “Farmers are forced to hire local residents and pay them...
The Czech government will allow stores and restaurants to reopen gradually over the next two months to reawaken an economy paralysed by the coronavirus lockdown.
There are three main food delivery players in Prague; Dáme jídlo, Wolt, and UberEats. I hadn’t tried any of these services before the restaurants closed – now I’ve tried all three. So which delivery service is best? Wolt My first app download was Wolt. I chose Wolt because they seemed to deliver from several quality restaurants that I liked to visit when open – wasn’t just focussed on existing takeaways. It was pretty easy to set up my details – the app was in English and I liked that I could use Apple Pay so I didn’t have to enter my credit card details again. My first order experience was perfect. The menu was automatically translated and I was able to add items to the cart, add a tip (you can revoke later if needed), checkout and immediately see the progress of my order. The progress was updated until it showed that my order had been collected. I could see the progress of the courier on a map and delivery time, so I was at the door just as they arrived. The food handover was easy and the courier was friendly. UberEats I already had the Uber taxi app and...

Coronavirus forced businesses to adapt in order to survive these trying times, offering among others, discounts, free delivery, delivery menus on Wolt and Uber Eats. One of them is Oliveira – Wine Tapas Market – an authentic bit of Portugal in Prague. This cozy bistro offers a large portfolio of Portuguese wines, typical groceries, like cheeses, sausages, cod-fish, marmalades. “Oliveira is the manifestation of my saudade of how much I miss my roots and the beautiful countryside, traditions and amazing food of Portugal. We have a wide range of products and of course, the famous pastel de nata!” said the owner Fabio Oliveira. “In addition, we sell other Portuguese products which we import from smaller regional producers,” added Mr. Oliveira. Although this bistro is not providing during these weeks the full menu, they prepared a few nice things for Prague customers: Delivery of all the products from their e-shop in Prague for 30 CZK FREE delivery for orders above CZK 1000 10% discount on all wine boxes “We are all in this new situation. But the wave of solidarity, touching moments with our clients, familiars, friends, and strangers keeps us positive, and we also want to give it back...
The questions over the long-lasting impact of the coronavirus on daily life and the global economy have taken center stage in recent weeks, but for small business owners — the grim reality of this lockdown is already here. Coronavirus has brought the booming service industry in Prague to a grinding halt, with restaurants and bars forced to close. As a result, businesses have had to try and adapt in order to make sure there are doors left to reopen when the restrictions finally lift. Many restaurants are now offering takeout as well as delivery menus on services like DameJidlo or Wolt. Bars owners are facing a slightly different challenge — how do we adapt when our main value is directly tied to our communities and environment? “People pay more for beers in bars than they do in shops, but it’s for the entire experience,” says Bar No. 7 owner Tommy Poole. “You go out to a bar to meet people, make new friends, and have a good time. It’s harder to convince people to buy a drink from me when there’s no social interaction.” Bar No.7 is a cozy, well-known bar in Prague that has been in operation for nearly...
Uber Eats has announced a range of initiatives in the Czech Republic to support restaurant owners and operators facing unprecedented challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The package includes waiving registration fees so that more restaurants can provide delivery and a new programme offering daily payments. In addition, Uber Eats is also introducing support for the couriers. Initiatives to support the community Uber Eats will offer a new pick-up functionality to both restaurants and customers. With this new feature in the app, customers will no longer need to stand in line when ordering take-out meals and the customers’ interactions and waiting time gets reduced, which supports social distancing. In addition to the new pick-up feature, Uber will enable eaters to select “contactless delivery” within the app, pushing this to self-isolating individuals in particular, for couriers to drop the meals outside their door, to avoid personal contact “We are putting in place a range of initiatives to continue to support restaurant partners, particularly small business owners, as they keep their kitchens firing to feed people across the country. This initiative keeps their doors open longer and keeps their teams working throughout this very difficult time,” said Luisa Elster, spokesperson for Uber Eats....

Some are throwing in extra discounts and incentives for ordering while others are featuring special family-style meals.

The menu is published on the restaurant Facebook page and personal profile Matteo Brogi on Instagram. How does it work?...

In the situation of the health crisis, Manifesto is seizing this momentum to launch a completely new and innovative delivery system on the market, a bundled delivery. This is opening the unique possibility for the customers to combine offers from several chefs and restaurants (brands operating at Manifesto Florenc) into one order, one click, one delivery. “Since all restaurants closed their doors to the public, we’ve worked days and nights to build our own platform, which is ready, but ultimately decided to launch this with Uber Eats who has been incredibly fast, helpful and open-minded. Our community can now have the same food experience online as they would have at Manifesto – to experience Manifesto food options during the lockdown period, but also an essential way to keep our restaurants alive and keep as many jobs as possible,” Manifesto’s Founder Martin Barry explains. How it works The users will find all the food selection under “Manifesto Delivery” label. At the beginning, menus from as many as eight restaurants will be offered under one umbrella.
