Catering in restaurant catering facilities
§ 18
Conditions for catering
(1) If, for serious reasons, an organisation cannot provide for the meals (main meals) of the workers referred to in Article 7 (1) in its own catering establishment or in another organisation's own catering establishment or, where appropriate, by means of the import of meals, in particular where the nature or place of work prevents it, it may exceptionally provide for their meals during the working shift in the restaurant catering organisation, on the basis of a written contract concluded with those organisations. This catering can only be done on vouchers. The organisation is obliged to gradually restrict the catering in order to replace it by eating in its own or combined catering facilities or at least by importing meals to the workplace, or under the conditions laid down in § 6 of the other organisation's catering facilities.
(2) Organisations whose workers use replacement meals and restaurant catering organisations are required to carry out a thorough check on the performance of the catering contract. In particular, they are required to ensure that the vouchers for this meal are not used otherwise than to remove a warm main meal from the designated restaurant food organisation.
(3) Where the replacement meals of the staff referred to in paragraph 1 cannot be linked to a particular restaurant catering establishment due to a frequent change in the place of work, they may be provided with a warm main meal per voucher without the designation of the restaurant catering organisation; for this voucher, workers may withdraw such food at any restaurant catering organisation establishment with which a written catering contract has been concluded.
(4) The vouchers are purchased in bulk by the organisation. The voucher must be expressed on the agreed average price of a warm main meal, including the share of the price paid by the guest. The organisation sells vouchers to its employees for an amount reduced against the agreed price by a maximum of 2 CZK per voucher (§ 19). Exceptionally, the worker may, with the agreement of his organisation, buy himself vouchers for catering, especially for diet meals. In this case, the organisation may contribute to the payment of the price of the voucher no more than 2 CZK per voucher on presentation of the written proof of purchase of the vouchers. If the price of a hot main meal is higher than the price indicated on the voucher, the difference between the dining room and the dining room is valid. For the payment of one main meal, the boarder may only use one voucher.
(5) The organisation of restaurant meals cannot agree on the delivery of food for cash. When selling the food for cash, it is also not possible to contribute to the guest according to § 19.
§ 19
Catering allowance in restaurant catering facilities
In the course of the meals of the staff referred to in Article 7 (1) in restaurant catering organisations, the budget organisations shall contribute to one main meal per day to the amount of 1 CZK of their budget; the contribution and other organisations contribute this amount to the cost of their activities. In addition, the organisation may contribute to one main meal per day under a collective agreement from a fund of cultural and social needs.
