Cooks and chefs

Let's get straight to the point: With your passion for cooking and our passion for innovative concepts in the restaurant and hotel industry, there's a good chance that together we can become a recipe for success.

 

Florian Senn, our Head of Recruiting and Staffpool, takes you on a short tour.

Who is the SV Group?

Good, healthy and inexpensive food. This has been the core of our DNA for over a hundred years. Since then, we have developed into a strong and diverse catering and hotel company. In addition to the original communal catering, à la carte restaurants, hotels and stadium catering such as that in the Swiss Life Arena have been added. In total, around 5000 colleagues work for the SV Group in Switzerland.

Want to delve deeper into our exciting history? With pleasure.

How you benefit.

We are a reliable partner. For our guests. And for you! 10 strong reasons why it's worth switching to the SV Group.

Your cooking skills are in demand.

Warming up convenience food and serving it nicely? We can only smile at these prejudices.

We need professionals here who understand their craft and are enthusiastic about learning and trying out new things. Last year, we developed over 3000 new recipes! Innovative ingredients such as vegan yogurt and meat alternatives or miso also play a key role time and again. And 500 of our restaurants took part in Veganuary.

Safe is safe.

You take care of your guests' well-being and like to show what you've got. We'll cover your back in the background.

Your wages are guaranteed to arrive on time. Your working hours are accurately recorded and overtime is paid. We make sure you have good equipment and high standards of occupational safety. Have we forgotten anything? We probably have. Just ask if you want to know more.

A social employer.

Our success has not gone to our heads - we have kept our feet firmly on the ground. The spirit of our founder still shapes us today.

The foundation of our founder Else Züblin-Spiller is the majority shareholder of the SV Group. This shapes our corporate values and ensures that we remain a social employer. Short-term profit optimization? Hire and fire? Not with us. Our plans have a solid foundation. We are looking for long-term success - preferably together with you.

Get ahead.

We are particularly proud of your training opportunities. Over 300 offers are waiting for you in our in-house Academy.

From short updates and workshops to courses lasting several days. Tailored to your needs, some of them as webinars, others on site. Standing still is not an option for us - is it for you? Thanks to our size, many perspectives are open to you without you having to change employer.

Quality of life.

Do you think you have to choose between your passion for cooking and your private life? Not with us.

Sure, in your job we don't have to talk about working from home. All the more about flexible framework conditions that adapt to your life. We pay attention to early schedules, respond to your wishes and are flexible when it comes to swapping jobs. If you work in one of our 250 restaurants, you'll spend your evenings and weekends with your family and friends. We also give you at least 5 weeks' vacation. Need more? You can buy additional vacation days.

Money, money, money.

We pay good salaries that are absolutely fair within the industry and in internal comparisons. We have this reviewed externally on a regular basis.

We also offer you high-quality fringe benefits that are quickly worth several hundred francs a year. We're thinking of our free, fresh and healthy employee meals and discounts at Sunrise or Migrol. The popular Reka-Checks. And the premium discounts at CSS or Helsana. And of course you are a welcome guest in all our establishments and save up to 20 % or more on food, drink and accommodation.

Team spirit.

Collegiality and mutual respect - without that you won't get far with us.

To ensure that you and we become a recipe for success together, we take you as you are. It doesn't matter how old you are, what color your skin is or where you come from. Nor does your gender or sexual orientation matter in any way. We make sure that we have a good time with each other and sometimes do things together after work.

Modern workplaces.

Despite being 100 years old, we are anything but outdated! We invest a lot in modern kitchens and in high-quality work equipment.

After all, the best pianists also play on a Steinway grand piano. That's why we make sure that bain-marie, vegetable washing machines, industrial ovens, large ovens and refrigerators are up to date. And with our smartChef digitalization program, your quotation planning and inventory management become super efficient. So that you have enough time for culinary refinements.

E gsundi Sach.

We pay attention to a working environment that is good for you. This goes far beyond water dispensers or fresh and healthy food.

In addition to occupational safety and accident prevention, we also place great emphasis on health prevention in the workplace. For this reason, the SV Group has a company health management system that focuses on this topic. We are also regularly monitored by Health Promotion Switzerland to see how well we are protecting mental and physical health. We are particularly proud of the "Friendly Workspace" label, because you don't get it for free. We also take part in the Bike to Work Challenge or run in the WWF run.

Ecology and animal welfare.

We bring sustainability directly to our guests' plates. To achieve this, we work together with strong partners.

Together with the WWF, Swiss Animal Protection (STS) and other organizations, we are fighting against food waste, are committed to animal welfare and sustainable fishing and are committed to the Planetary Health Diet, which enables us to save a lot of CO2 emissions. We document our successes and what still needs to be done in our progress report.
