Our story

What we do?

In our restaurant we offer vocational training to different vulnerable groups of young people (young people aged from 17–25 without formal education, young people with disabilities up to the age 30 and others with special needs) who are threatened with long-term unemployment because of their specifics.

Training programme

The main purpose of the training is to acquire and develop general work habits. We teach young people timely arrival to work, how to follow the  rules, participation in the group, acceptance of management and supervision. We encourage their independence and acquire practical skills for independent work in a restaurant company.

The work and training of the target group requires a good understanding and knowledge of characteristics of this, as well as knowledge of special work methods. That is why our program includes various services and various professional workers.

The implementation of the program is monitored by an expert team which includes chef and mentor for assistant of cook and assistant of waiter (monitoring practical part of training program), psychologist and special educator teacher.

As a result, they are better prepared for a more suc­cessful entry into the world of labour.
