About us

Leading.

Connecting.
Groundbreaking.

We have been making a difference to Swiss system catering since 1986.

Marché Restaurants Schweiz AG is one of the top 10 Swiss companies with the highest turnover in the field of full-service system catering. With the «Marché» brand, it is the clear number 1 in motorway catering services. Marché Switzerland has been part of the Coop Group since 2014, operating as an independent subsidiary. Everything at Marché Restaurants Schweiz AG is geared towards ensuring that our customers experience quality and freshness, because the long-term good of the company is based on their well-being. The location-specific needs and wishes of the complex target groups are constantly altering, due to social changes or other external influences. As an organisation, we have had to keep pace with these fluctuations, advance constantly, and also ensure a reliable and stable structure for more than 35 years. And we will continue to do this for the next 35 years.

There is no future without a history.
