The SV Group is a leading gastronomy and hotel management group based in Dübendorf near Zurich. The group operates in several business areas: restaurants for companies and schools, hotels with own brands as well as other renowned brands as franchisee, public restaurants with innovative concepts, as well as catering and delivery services. The SV Group employs around 5,800 people, of which 4,000 are in Switzerland.
The SV Group traces back to the non-profit organization "Swiss Association for Soldiers' Welfare" founded in 1914. Else Züblin-Spiller established soldiers' lounges nationwide and served balanced and affordable meals there. The founder's idealistic values are continued today by the SV Foundation. This charitable foundation is the majority shareholder of the SV Group and uses its funds for projects in the field of healthy nutrition and for the common good.
At the Novartis Campus in Basel, our host team with 120 employees pampers around 2,000 guests daily. The "foodtower" including "coffee-al forno" offers space for 1,500 guests with its various restaurants. There are also two kiosks ("Pic'n Go" & "386"), two coffee bars, and two serviced restaurants. In the "Bistro 5" restaurant and the associated guest rooms "au Ciel," we spoil our guests with à la carte creations and market-fresh cuisine. In the "Visitor Café" and the coffee bar "BaRguette," we offer our guests fine coffees and snacks from our in-house production. The operation has its own patisserie, which daily supplies not only the campus but also many other SV Group-managed establishments. Through the in-house catering offer, it is possible to order snacks and drinks for meetings or apéros. Regular company events and special occasions for up to 3,000 people are held. Working hours are Monday to Friday between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., depending on the duty roster. Special and evening shifts depending on workload.
