Who is Father’s?

Come and meet them.. 👋

Father’s is all about coffee and people who bring
a piece of themselves to the company.
We come from different parts of the country,
we like other things, and we’re all completely different,
yet we have many things in common:
our love for coffee and our desire
to come together to help the roastery run smoothly.

Petr Kvasnička
Founder & CEO

Petr graduated in cinematography and followed the motto that everything works if you want. He started drinking coffee mainly for the caffeine, and the shift to quality came when he met Marie. Initially, he was in charge of everything and spent endless hours in the roastery alone. Nowadays, besides the company’s overall management (whatever that means), he is our “head of coffee,” in charge of buying green coffee, profiling roasting curves, quality control, and inventing and implementing various coffee and non‍-‍coffee projects. He loves film, photography, tennis, cycling, and especially eating food cooked by Marie. Oh, and cooking over a fire.

Marie Kvasničková
Founder

Marie is the soul of the roastery. She was the one who came up with the name Father’s, and with the idea to tell the story of our family on the packaging. She has had little “helpers” since the beginning, giving our roastery the right family vibe. In the early years, she was involved in quality control and solving long‍-‍term issues with Petr. In the intermezzo between the second and third child, she did social media, marketing, and copywriting, setting our communication language. She graduated in painting and studied architecture in Brno for a while before starting our business. She loves cooking ( and she’s excellent at it, too), mushroom picking, and any time spent in the woods.

Petr Hlinka
COO

Petr H. has been at Father’s almost from the beginning, since November 2019. He has the soul of an analyst, and all the spreadsheets and data at the roastery answer to him. Thanks to this data, he knows more about our wholesale partners than Facebook and can predict order quantities and crises before they happen. In his spare time, he enjoys drawing permanent tattoos on himself.

Ondrej Petrus
Wholesale manager

Ondrej is an excellent cook, and anyone who has ever stayed at his place knows they get a better breakfast than in a hotel. There’s no recipe he can’t cook. Personally, his favorite cuisine is Middle Eastern. He has traveled to many coffee countries, farms, and stations, and now at Father’s, he travels all over the country to meet our dear customers. There isn’t a coffee machine he has yet to take apart (the question is whether he could put it back together), and a person at a coffee festival Ondrej doesn’t personally know.

Tereza Karkošková
Wholesale manager

Terka K is an adventurer and traveler who likes to ride her bike and ski. She doesn’t leave the house without a coffee in her hand, including trips to nature. She almost always has her coffee gear by her and isn’t afraid to use it in the most beautiful places. At Father’s, like Ondrej, she makes the rounds and solves customers’ problems, takes care of coffee accessories, and trains coffee shop employees. She has been at the roastery since August 2022 and really loves cashews.

Jan Holomáč
Production roaster

This is Honza. He’s been with us for almost three years now, and he’s the loudest element in the roastery – except for the roaster. That may be why they get along great. Honza is the production roaster and quality controller, so he and the roasting machine must be on the same page. He also helps with anything around the roastery. Honza likes to call himself an artist and a lover of all that is good in the world. He loves to meet people, and when he’s not making coffee, he’s drinking wine, composing words and music, or just sitting with friends and having philosophical thoughts about life and its meaning.
