Swiss Chalet is a Canadian chain of casual dining restaurants[1] founded in 1954 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[2] Swiss Chalet has locations in most Canadian provinces, but about 80% are in Ontario and there are currently none in Quebec or British Columbia.[3] Swiss Chalet is among the holdings of Recipe Unlimited, which also owns the fast food chain Harvey's.[4] Swiss Chalet and Harvey's franchises share many locations.[5]
Swiss Chalet franchises include a variety of points of sale. The company's locations generally have an architectural alpine theme, a dining room, a take-out counter, and delivery.[6] Some feature drive-thru windows while other locations in certain urban areas are only take-out counters and are more akin to fast food restaurants. The brand also has an online food ordering system.[7] Recipe Unlimited retails signature Swiss Chalet sauce,[8] gravy, and marinades (as powdered mixes) in Canadian supermarkets.
