Dining

The canteens and bistros operated by the Palacký University Accommodation and Dining Services are not intended only for university students and staff. Visitors to Olomouc, conference participants, students' parents, alumni and the general public are also welcome.

How to Dine at UP Canteens and Bistros

Dining at Palacký University canteens and bistros is also available to the general public. For regular use of our dining services, we recommend getting an external diner card, which can be used to order and collect meals and to keep track of payments.

After receiving an external diner card, you need to add funds to your dining account. These funds are then used to pay for ordered meals and purchases at the canteens.

How to Order a Meal

After logging in to the system, you can order meals in advance using:

  • the WebKredit web application,
  • the MobilKredit mobile app,
  • ordering terminals located directly in the canteens.

Ordering in advance guarantees that your selected meal will be reserved. However, most dishes can also be purchased directly on site while supplies last.

How Does Meal Collection Work?

When collecting your meal, simply tap your external diner card on the reader at the serving point or present it at the cash desk. Your ordered meal will then be served.
