ŠKOLNÍ JÍDELNA

What ŠKOLNÍ JÍDELNA does

Školní jídelna (School Canteen) is the in-house food service operation of Základní škola Horní Jelení (Primary School Horní Jelení), a public elementary school (příspěvková organizace, or government-funded institution) located in Horní Jelení, Pardubický kraj, Czech Republic. It serves daily meals — including first breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, and snack — to the school's nine-grade student body (grades 1–9), with monthly meal fees set between 420 and 500 CZK per student. The canteen is operated by a small dedicated team under Head of Canteen Alena Palaugariová, with Milena Dytrychová as Head Cook, Eva Melichová as Cook, and Marie Marková as Assistant Cook; school-level governance sits with Director Ing. Pavla Nádeníková, and the broader school employs 13 staff in total.

The canteen runs on the Strava.cz digital meal management platform, which provides online meal ordering, chip-based student identification, a parent-facing mobile application, and a cashless payment system for fees and ancillary items. On the supply and funding side, it participates in the EU-funded "Ovoce do škol" (Fruit to Schools) program — supplied by BOVYS spol.s.r.o. and administered by SZIF (Státní zemědělský intervenční fond, the State Agricultural Intervention Fund) — and is engaged in the "Skutečně zdravá škola" (Truly Healthy School) certification project. The school has also been recognized as "Nejlepší česká škola 8. dílu" (Best Czech School, 8th episode).

Because Školní jídelna is structurally a public-service canteen rather than a commercial enterprise, its "revenue" consists of parent-paid meal fees plus government subsidy and EU program support; it has no external customer base, no multi-site footprint, and no growth mandate beyond serving the enrolled student population of its host school.
