EAT Smart
How smart fridges replaced traditional canteens across 80 locations in the Czech Republic — serving 312,000 meals and counting.
Corporate canteens are broken.
Expensive to run
A traditional canteen requires a kitchen, cooks, shift managers, and cleaning staff. For many companies — especially with under 500 employees — it simply doesn't pay off.
Limited hours
Canteens serve lunch, maybe breakfast. Shift workers, late-night teams, and weekend staff are left with vending machines or nothing.
No data, no flexibility
No insight into what employees actually eat. No way to personalise, subsidise, or optimise. Fixed menus, food waste, and guesswork.
A smart fridge in every breakroom.
EAT Smart replaced canteens with autonomous, RFID-powered fridges — stocked daily with fresh meals from a central kitchen near Prague.
Tap your badge
Employees authenticate with their company ID card, QR code, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. The fridge unlocks instantly.
Pick your meal
Browse the selection on the tablet display, filter by allergens, and take what you want. Every item is RFID-tagged.
Close and go
RFID sensors detect exactly what was taken. Payment is deducted automatically from payroll — with employer subsidies applied instantly.
Not a pilot. A running business.
EAT Smart launched in 2024 and scaled to 80 locations within a year. These are real, verified numbers.
Locations across Czech Republic
From Aš to Ostrava. Deployed in offices, factories, hospitals, and logistics hubs. Grew from 30 locations in 2024 to 80+ in 2025.
Meals served in 2025
3× growth over 2024 (99,000 meals). Revenue on track for tens of millions CZK. Central kitchen operates at just 15% capacity — ready to scale.
Savings on investment
