Every day, we supply over 500 restaurants, pizzerias and food businesses across Switzerland. But the number we are most proud of is not that one — it is the trust our clients place in us week after week, order after order.
We asked some of them to share their experience with LAPA. Here is what they told us.
"Finally a supplier that understands the pace of a professional kitchen"
— Marco T., Chef-Patron, Ristorante Da Marco, Zürich
"I am in the kitchen at 6 a.m. I need to know my ingredients will arrive on time, fresh, and exactly as ordered. With LAPA, that has become the standard. I no longer think about it — and that peace of mind is invaluable."
Marco has been ordering from LAPA for 4 years. His menu features DOP-certified products sourced directly from Italy: Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, extra virgin olive oil from Lake Garda, artisan cured meats from Calabria. Over 2,000 references in our catalogue, always in stock.
"My Monday order arrives Tuesday morning. Every time."
— Fatima B., owner, Trattoria Bella Napoli, Basel
"I tried other wholesalers before LAPA. The problem was always the same: missing items at the last minute, unannounced substitutions, delays. In three years with LAPA, I have never had a single negative surprise. That reliability lets me plan my menu with complete confidence."
Delivery precision is not a coincidence. It is the result of a logistics operation built around the real needs of Swiss restaurateurs. Order by evening, receive the next morning. No exceptions.
"They helped me find products I didn’t even know existed"
— Stefan K., Executive Chef, Hotel Baur au Lac, Zürich
"I needed a high-quality Bottarga di Muggine for a tasting menu. I called LAPA: within 24 hours I had 3 options on the table with full technical specifications. That is the level of service I expect from a serious partner."
The LAPA team is more than an order centre. These are professionals who know the products, understand what you need, and guide you through the selection. Call us at +41 76 361 70 21: you will always reach someone ready to help.
"Since switching to LAPA, I have reduced food waste by 30%"
— Luca M., purchasing manager, restaurant group, Geneva
"I manage purchasing for 5 venues. Before, I was juggling three different suppliers — constant complexity. Now I consolidate everything through LAPA: one order, one coordinated delivery, one point of contact. I save time and have significantly cut overstock."
Consolidating with LAPA also means clear visibility into consumption, costs and seasonal trends. Less waste, more control, stronger margins.
