From 12 to June 22, Zurich became the capital of taste with FOOD ZURICH 2025, one of Europe’s most exciting culinary festivals. At Swiss Hospitality Recruitment, we couldn’t miss this event that embodies the creativity, passion, and quality that define Switzerland’s Food & Beverage sector.
FOOD ZURICH is more than just a food festival — it’s a creative hub where chefs, producers, entrepreneurs, and food lovers come together to share ideas, ingredients, and values. From circular cooking to sustainable innovation, from fermentation workshops to roving dinners, each event told the story of a Switzerland that’s evolving — through its food.
What stood out to us?
🔸 The growing importance of mindful hospitality: Front- and back-of-house teams are no longer just operators — they are educators. Guests are seeking authentic, meaningful experiences, which requires staff who are well-trained, motivated, and empowered.
🔸 The dialogue between tradition and innovation: Many events showcased how Swiss gastronomy continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. For hiring managers, this highlights the need for talent who blend technical skill with creative thinking.
🔸 Sustainability as a career driver: More and more professionals are seeking out companies that prioritize environmental and social responsibility. To attract top talent, businesses must embed these values into their culture.
What does this mean for today’s professionals in the industry?
It means hospitality is transforming — and there’s room for those who bring value. At SHR, we believe people are the heart of change. That’s why we help companies find the right talent, and professionals find the right workplace where they can grow and thrive.
In conclusion, FOOD ZURICH was a powerful reminder of our mission: to make the Swiss F&B sector more attractive, people-focused, and sustainable. If you share this vision, we’d love to walk the path with you.
