Zátiší Group has catering down to a fine art. For over 30 years, the company has been providing catering, decorations, entertainment, and venues for both intimate gatherings with just a few guests and large-scale events with up to a thousand participants, from conferences and trade fairs to car races. The catering division’s team is able to design a truly unique event tailored to each client, reflecting not only their ideas but often even their unspoken wishes. When public life came to a standstill during the COVID pandemic and events could not take place for months and people began to miss Zátiší’s culinary delights, an e-shop was created, where the customers could order either hot, ready-to-eat meals in boxes delivered straight to their homes or pre-prepared dishes that only needed reheating or finishing, guided by clear instructions from the head chef. After the pandemic subsided, the popularity of delivery did not fade, instead of ordering ready-made meals for home, people began ordering catering for the office. The Office Catering team ze Zátiší therefore decided to modernize both the ordering process and the packaging, aiming to surprise their clients once again, as it is customary at Zátiší. At first, however, the whole team was taken by surprise.

Packaging is the basis of the delivery. Its development took Markéta Straková from marketing department almost the whole year. She envisioned an elegant box that would hold individual items while allowing them to be removed easily. The box safely secures the food during transport and can also be used directly for serving. 
Increasing the dimensions by just 1 cm proved to be a technological challenge, but one that Markéta ultimately solved. She tirelessly assembled models, searched for the right manufacturers, and fine-tuned every detail to ensure the box offers maximum comfort for clients while also meeting sustainability requirements.

The ideal size turned out to be 25 x 25 cm. However, no one was able to produce a box of this size. In the end Markéta approached a printer, who produces brochures, postcards, and other materials for Zátiší Group, who applied for an extension of his printing license for food industry, which allowed him to source food-safe paper. After nine months, the first three boxes arrived and were tested by the catering team over the following months. It was essential to find out how they fold, how easy is it to put food inside and how it can be served, how the individual items need to be put together, and whether the food dries out before the order is completed, delivered, and then waited few hours before serving. “Fortunately, the box proved to work perfectly and met all of our expectations. The long and careful planning truly paid off,” Markéta says with a smile.

No event is ever too small, for the organizer, every occasion carries great importance, and they usually strive to ensure everything is perfect for their guests. That effort, however, can easily become a source of stress when there are too many requirements or when they conflict with each other. Zátiší takes both guests and hosts into consideration, making event organization as pleasant as possible.
If you are planning an event for more than 200 guests, a Zátiší Catering manager will be happy to discuss your ideas, requirements, and visions with you. For events up to 200 people, you can choose from the Office Catering offer. “You can conveniently put together your catering online, tailored to your guests’ tastes or dietary restrictions. You can filter by individual dishes, type of catering, number of people, price, or popularity,” explains Markéta Straková, describing the new e-shop. Its development took more than six months to meet the highest aesthetic and functional standards. The result is an intuitive menu selection, where the hardest part is resisting all the delicious options.
 

Guests love mini croissants and mini sandwiches the most. In one box, you will find bite-sized homemade pastries meant for two or three bites, with four different fillings. Popular choices also include wraps with three different fillings, mini burgers, and a newcomer – focaccias. There are also mixed boxes with sweet and savory bite-sized treats, so no one has to reach across the table and everything is conveniently at hand. Smaller portions are easier to eat and allow guests to try more varieties. Among the sweets, visually appealing tartlets, mini dessert variations, and sheet cakes served in slices are the favorites.
“We used to deliver office catering only to offices in buildings, where our Fresh & Tasty canteens function, but with the new e-shop we’ve expanded our offer to cover all of Prague and the surrounding area,” explains Martin Vobořil, Office Catering Manager. Whereas previously you could choose from 30 dishes, today there are over 150 options, including drinks – for breakfast, meetings, or as wine pairing bites. 
 

Just like in the restaurants V Zátiší and Mlýnec and in the Fresh & Tasty canteens, the chefs in catering also design each dish based on seasonal ingredients and local sources. “An important criterion is also simplicity in serving and eating. That’s why most of our offerings consist of mini portions, bite-sized snacks, slices, mini desserts, and tartlets,” explains Tomáš David, Head Chef of cold cuisine for Office Catering ze Zátiší and Fresh & Tasty. For the sake of dining convenience, they do not prepare traditional Czech open-faced sandwiches.

All delicacies are prepared fresh upon order. Fillings change with the seasons and according to clients’ tastes, regular customers already have their preferences and favorite combinations. Office Catering can therefore be ordered fully customized. In collaboration with the nutritionists from Ne hladu, a range of Balanced Food – nutritionally balanced meals was created.
