ome to just 2,000 people, Čebín is a small municipality a 30-minute drive from Brno, the Czech Republic’s second city. The village’s primary school recently moved to a new site, created through the refurbishment of an old Socialist-era shopping mall. As
a result, the local authority faced an important decision about its kitchen: transfer the existing equipment, some of which dated back to the late 1980s, or invest in something new. Thomas Kříž, mayor of the Municipality
of Čebín, chose the second option. His goal was to build a reliable, modern kitchen with sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the local community. “It was important for us that the new facility could serve not only the children at the primary school, but also pupils from the kindergarten and the elderly from our local senior community,” he explains. “We also wanted to give more choice by being able to prepare multiple courses, so that people could select from at least two meals each day.” Energy efficiency was also a key factor,
with the new kitchen proving significantly less energy-intensive than the original, delivering both environmental and financial benefits. To achieve this, Kříž turned to Marek Kaspar, director and co- owner at consultancy GOZ GASTRO. His genuine effort to understand the school’s specific needs, including budget and the spatial constraints, immediately made an impression.
“For us, dinner is at midday and is usually
soup, meat, rice, potatoes and, now, more veg. That is our tradition, so every school has a canteen, and it either cooks food on-site or brings in fresh food to serve,” says Kaspar. “We were able to make a complete change to the menu because we used equipment from JIPA that supports fast preparation and much fresher food. A unique device, with endless possibilities,” he adds. “For example, we can make fresh pasta for
every serving. My memories of school are running as fast as possible through the canteen to go home for something good to eat. Now, I eat with my clients from the kitchens we design,” says Kaspar.
Versatility takes center stage In addition to serving primary school and kindergarten students, the kitchen also prepares up to 70 meals for elderly people in the area. Its capacity and versatility stem from multi- functional tilting pans from JIPA, which are now the centerpiece of the kitchen.
“The main idea is to have many technologies in a minimal footprint”

with its two 80-liter pans, provide sufficient capacity to produce more than 50 meals per day, offering a choice of three menu types and the ability to cater to special diets. “The main idea of our multi-functional
device is to have many technologies in a minimal footprint. A unique device with endless possibilities,” explains Patrik Čechák, head of sales and export manager, JIPA. “It replaces a pasta cooker, a classic bratt pan, a grill and a deep fryer. All of those things are combined into one device that can work 24/7. It can do overnight cooking so that meat is ready when chefs arrive in the morning, leaving them to concentrate on sauces and puddings. Or it can deep fry donuts, or make French fries.” The pans also feature an automatic basket
system, allowing chefs to step away while food cooks. Operators simply select a program and leave the system to do the rest. “The reaction from the cooks is always the same,” says Kaspar. “In week one, they want their old kitchen back. By week two, when they have had some training, their world changes. Their workload is easier and they can be more productive in a smaller space. Then they would never let you take it away and go back to the old system.”
The impact is clear: healthier food for children and seniors, lower electricity bills for the mayor, and greater efficiency for the kitchen staff. With the right equipment and thoughtful design, even a small school kitchen can make a big difference to a community.
