Paula, Recruiter
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 with other renowned brands as franchisee, public restaurants with innovative concepts as well as gastronomic delivery service and catering. The SV Group employs around 5,800 people, of which 4,000 are in Switzerland.
The SV Group goes back to the non-profit organization "Schweizer Verband Soldatenwohl" founded in 1914. Else Züblin-Spiller established soldiers' lounges nationwide and served balanced and affordable meals there. The idealistic values of the founder are continued today by the SV Foundation. This non-profit 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.
In the Chreis 14 restaurant, in the Circle at Zurich Airport, our host team with 14 employees spoils around 500 guests daily. The varied offer consists of four daily changing menus. Rock&Roll, that is the Rock'n'Roll Kitchen, inspired by the street kitchens of the world's metropolises. Heart& Soul, these dishes are regionally rooted with a story. Green&Bowl, the "Super Bowls" cover the fresh and seasonal salad offer. Pure&Whole, here is braised, sous-vide cooked, fermented, cured and slow-cooked. Flavor explosions full of aromas and umami are guaranteed.
Additionally, the gastronomy includes a coffee bar with fine sandwiches, homemade baked goods, our Adiamo products and various coffee creations. Through the in-house catering offer, it is possible to order snacks and drinks for meetings or aperitifs. We also deliver everything a good coffee kitchen needs directly to your office premises.
