Director of Customer Service

Founded in 2014 in the Czech Republic, Rohlik is the leader of e-grocery in Central Europe, on a mission for our customers’ healthier and happier lives by helping them eat and live better. Complimenting state-of-the-art technology and logistics with love for food, we deliver fast high-quality groceries to our customers, carrying all the favourite brands, plus a range of affordable own-label products. In each city we carefully select the best quality and freshest local products to save our customers time: from butchers to bakery, fresh product directly from farmers via our unique Farm-to-Door program. Active in the Czech Republic (Rohlik.cz), Hungary (Kifli.hu), Austria (Gurkerl.at), Germany (Knuspr.de) and Romania (Sezamo.ro), owning its end-to-end operations (including all technology in-house), Rohlik provides in all its countries a superior customer experience and the freshest food from local farmers and artisans, as well as a broad supermarket selection.

We build our brand around our belief that everyone should have access to better food and higher quality of life. We acquire new customers by winning their trust through superior service, helping their families to run smoothly, and differentiating ourselves with the rich offer of local, fresh, high-quality products.
