Starting Monday, October 20, the brand new university FreshUP+ at the Josef Jařab dormitory will offer not only the classic FreshUP assortment, but also dinners (daily specials), pizza, pasta, and salads. FreshUP+ will have its own entrance from Šmeralova Street and will be open on weekdays from 2PM to 7:30PM. The adjacent main canteen will cease afternoon operations.
A new modern concept combining FreshUP and canteen services is being created in the premises of the former Josef Jařab canteen. FreshUP+ will offer the popular range of products known from existing FreshUPs, expanded to include salads and hot meals.
Meals cannot be ordered in advance via the Kredit system, but only on site, similar to a self-service restaurant, so they will be freshly prepared. The new FreshUP+ will be accessible directly from the street through a newly built entrance, and barrier-free access will be possible via the reception of the J. Jařab dormitory. Payment will be possible by bank or employee card as well as ISIC.
The opening of the new FreshUP+ will end the uneconomical afternoon and evening operation of the main 17. listopadu canteen, which will now be open until 2:3PM, like the other UP canteens.
"The operating costs of running the large main canteen all afternoon are no longer economically viable for us. The canteen was empty all afternoon, and an average of several dozen diners came for dinner, whose needs should be easily met by the new FreshUP+," explained Radek Koněvalík, director of the Accommodation and Dining Services UP (SKM UP). "A number of people from SKM´UP worked on the project, and we believe that you will like the new bistro and will be happy to return to it," he said.
