What Dudes & Barbies s.r.o. does

Dudes & Barbies s.r.o. (with the e-shop operated by the related legal entity NOT ANOTHER BORING s.r.o.) is a Prague-based multi-venue hospitality group founded in 2013 by Lukáš Žďárský and Jakub Zajíc. The group operates eight distinct venues in Prague covering cafés, bistros, a cultural/sports venue, a multifunctional city-block development (VNITROBLOCK), a dance studio, a roastery, a bakery, and an art gallery under related sub-brands including Radlická kulturní sportovna, Kavárna co hledá jméno, GRAM, Bistro B, Taneční Sector, Skýva bakery and the Dudes & Barbies Gallery. Operational scale reached 96 team members (including 7 baristas, 6 pastry chefs, 2 bakers, and 2 roasters), with headquarters and registered office at VNITROBLOCK (Tusarova 791/31, Prague 7 - Holešovice).

The group's core production assets are recent vertical integrations. NOT ANOTHER BORING ROASTERY (launched January 2024) is the in-house specialty coffee roastery supplying all venues plus D2C e-commerce and B2B wholesale customers. Skýva bakery (launched April 2025 inside VNITROBLOCK) produces artisanal pastries and bread for all venues and B2B wholesale supply, extending the group's bean-to-cup-and-pastry vertical integration. Distribution runs through four channels: direct-to-consumer retail at the eight physical venues, e-commerce via shop.dudesandbarbies.cz shipping Czech Republic-wide, B2B wholesale with monthly subscription billing to cafés, restaurants, hotels and offices, and event space rental plus catering services including a mobile coffee truck.

Revenue is generated from in-venue food and beverage sales, e-commerce retail of coffee, merch and gift vouchers, B2B wholesale with monthly subscription pricing, and event/catering services. Unit pricing is denominated in Czech Koruna and ranges from 190 Kč for 10 coffee capsules up to 4,944 Kč for 5kg of roasted coffee, with branded t-shirts at 950 Kč and electronic gift vouchers in 300, 500 and 1,000 Kč denominations (valid 12 months). The customer base is primarily long-tail consumer footfall across the venues plus Czech online shoppers, supplemented by a B2B wholesale book serving small and medium hospitality businesses; no major anchor enterprise customers were disclosed. All operations remain contained within the Czech Republic.
