Who we are

Swiss Chalet is a casual restaurant that focuses on comfort food, especially rotisserie chicken. Along with the signature chicken, the menu features slow-cooked ribs, sandwiches, salads, and Asian-inspired rice bowls. Customers can also enjoy rotisserie beef and homestyle dessert options.

Customers can eat in the restaurant or order food for pickup by placing a phone order or using the online option. Many restaurants are "combo" units that combine the Swiss Chalet menu with choices from other Recipe Unlimited brands. The most common pairing seems to be with Harvey's, a burger chain. This flexibility, along with the brand's focus on affordability, may help the restaurant to stay competitive through various economic situations.

Why choose Swiss Chalet/Swiss Chalet Plus Restaurants?

Swiss Chalet could be a good choice for those entrepreneurs who want to own a restaurant in Canada and have access to a well-developed system managed by a longstanding name in the nation's food industry. Swiss Chalet has been around for over 50 years and likely has fairly high brand recognition throughout Canada.

Recipe Unlimited promises franchisees excellent support and beneficial connections in real estate, construction, purchasing, and marketing.
