The paper aims to describe specific, significantly heterogeneous trends in Czech and world gastronomy and to identify the differences and influence of selected educational levels in relation to customer experience and satisfaction with specific gastronomy trends. Research based on a positivist approach, quantitative nature of data, descriptive, explanatory, cross-sectional studies using the method of abduction, a questionnaire survey technique with Likert scale. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests are used to assess the normality of the data. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn-Bonferroni post-hoc test verifies or falsifies the existence of statistically significant differences between customers' experience and satisfaction with gastronomy trends according to customers' education levels. From the analysis of the nature of the Czech customer consumption behaviour, a more open attitude towards trends of intelligent opportunism can be observed at a higher level of education, while a customer with a lower level of education tends to lean towards trends of Czech tradition and conservatism. Differentiation of customers according to their educational level leads to functional management of customer satisfaction for specific gastronomy trends in relation to the management of strategic initiatives of the enterprise.
