      Restaurant have a big pressure from costs and rent, requires really specific infrastructure (reason kebab shops use frozen meat, you don’t need a proper kitchen), and have not a big return in most cases.

      oh no, not subway st gallen:))))) /s.

      Ed: Lucha Libre Lausanne is a pity, though.

      This looks very practical to find new places that just opened in my city!

      For instance, „Ze Fork“ in Vevey didn’t „really“ closed… „Ze Fork“ is no longer here, BUT it has reopened, with a new owner and concept after renovation ! And there are probably a lot of restaurants in that case.

      I posted it two times by accident. I deleted the other post, it was only up by one minute

      Many of the one i loved were closed. I must have a really bad taste… or i just tipped too less.

      Rest-au-rant…

      -> au like the French version of Ooooh

      -> rant… see that post here… exactly it’s a bit of a rant

      In one word: Restaurant.

      Restaurant business is brutal. Most don’t make it past two years. Lots of new ones popping up though. Fresh blood for the torture.

      Prices are just too insane (and portion sizes for ants) in CH to go out eating.

      I’m seriously having a hard time finding any good restaurants outside of the big cities. I don’t think I am asking for much, just good food, that’s it. It’s surely not their fault because they are probably struggling with very bad price pressure, but it’s still something that bothers me a lot.

      Usually the new restaurants open in the same spot of old restaurants that closed.

      It is well known that it is a very difficult business to manage well for many years.

      There are **28,565** restaurants in Switzerland.

      Assuming a restaurant would stay in business for an **average** of 20 years (which is very very generous), that means that approx 1400 close and 1400 open every year.

      Nothing to see here.

      It’s wrong for Lugano at least, some are missing and other just changed, imo if one closes and in less then a year another open there it’s the same as sale of a restaurant. Place to eat is there, menu might be different

    21. Significant_Taro_690 on

      Yes they closed, some of them planned, some of them really because the owner had no money left ect ect.

      But for example in my region I checked your list and every single one of these restaurants are either needs opened or will be soon because they got a complete renovation. But its rarely closed and not replaced.

      And one of the reasons is that everyone thinks that is an easy job and everyone can do it and that is not true on my opinion and even when I can Cook well I would never want to have a restaurant nor do I think I am just able to have one just because I know how to cook a decent meal.

      A third of restaurants don’t survive the first year, and half of them don’t make it to 5. An average lifespan of a restaurant is like 4-5 years. Not that weird, considering trends changing, gastronomy being notoriously bad regarding working conditions, expenses and reliance on being hyped up to survive.

    24. ThatThingTheDarkSoul on

      Overy single time I eat at a restaurant i feel like i paid waaaaay to much and get a strange stomach. I’m not going to restaurants anymore.

    26. navor on

      It’s more than that. Not all are listed from what I can tell. How does it even work?

    27. flonnil on

      i fail to see what the point is. Restaurants closing (and opening) all the time is incredibly normal. ~ 40% of all swiss restaurants survive for longer than 5 years. This is entirely expected behavior.

      Also, that map, which as a source is already questionable, reflects the companies, not the actual physical restaurant, which probably in many cases still exists, but under a different company, name or concept. I’d expect the total number of actually open restaurants to be quite stable, but i am too lazy to look it up.

      Everybody over fourty dreams of either starting a donkey-retirement-farm in the woods or open a „cool“ Bar, and predictably are shit at it. Even if you’re not shit at it, it still will suck most of the time. Gastronomy is a very tough business (and lifestyle) in the best of times.

      It’s one of the riskiest businesses there is with a lot of people going in that have a) no other option and b) no idea what they are doing. 

      It’s the same everywhere btw

      hey lets start a restaurant business and use our own pensionmoney until we dont have any left and go back to work as a employee and complain at 65, that there is no money left.

    33. AgreeableDance8535 on

      Probably cause no one wants to pay a ridiculous amount just to go to a restaurant

    34. paraglidingCH on

      This only shows how unreliable Google is. I did a quick check in my area, and found the following errors:
      – restaurants that changed name or ownership marked as „closed“
      – restaurants closed for renovations marked as „closed“

      And yet people trust Google Maps!! 🤣😂, we have a bus stop that has ben moved 50m, yet the number of tourists that stand at the spot marked by Google maps, rather than at the new and clearly marked bus stop doesn’t half make us laugh, the look on their faces as the bus goes past them and stops 50m away is amazing!! 🤣😂🤣😂
