Delirest & Primirest ČR/SR

What Delirest & Primirest ČR/SR does

Delirest & Primirest ČR/SR operates a B2B contract catering business in the Czech Republic and Slovakia under two brands: Delirest for corporate catering (158 on-site restaurants) and Primirest for school catering (236 canteens). The company runs full-service employee restaurants, canteens, and buffets at client sites — including multi-shift automotive and manufacturing plants, a nuclear power plant, logistics centers, and technology business parks — and provides packaged and chilled meal delivery for clients without on-site kitchens. Approximately 50 million meals are served per year across the wider CEE group of more than 360 outlets and 5,300 core employees, with Czech Republic and Slovakia accounting for the bulk of operations under the CEE Catering HoldCo Kft. parent.

The technology stack is operational rather than AI-native: the DeliApp web portal and mobile application (iOS and Android) enable employee lunch ordering and QR-code account access in the Czech market; an integrated management system aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 22000, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 underpins quality, food safety, environmental, and occupational health processes; and a multi-stage supplier audit program provides ingredient traceability. A rolling Gastrokalendář themed-menu calendar (with FIT, Gourmet, Vegetarian, FOLK, LIVE cooking, and Street food lines) and a guest-chef experiential program form the content layer. Delirest was the first Czech caterer to voluntarily obtain ISO 37001 anti-corruption certification.

The business model is managed services under bespoke, multi-year contracts negotiated individually with each client. Employers subsidize meals at fixed per-cover prices, and the offering includes soups, main courses, hot/cold buffets, and in-house snacks. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales led by Sales Director Martin Straka, targeting the full outsourcing of employee catering — staffing, sourcing, menu design, hygiene compliance, and multi-shift service delivery. The company is privately held following a December 2022 / January 2023 management buyout by János Nyerges and Szilárd Szabó (formerly of Eurest Hungary), who rebranded the corporate catering brand from Eurest to Delirest and the school brand from Scolarest to Primirest.
