Sales agent – independent food sales representative
Embrach,
Switzerland

We are looking for an independent sales agent who loves the food service world and knows how to build lasting relationships with restaurants, pizzerias and delicatessens.
How the partnership works
You work as an independent contractor in Switzerland, covering Zurich, Basel, Lucerne and German-speaking Switzerland. You do not need a full portfolio from day one: the realistic goal is to build up 60–70 active customers over time.
What LAPA offers you
- Over 3'000 Italian food products, delivered in our own refrigerated vans.
- An app for orders and customers, plus a digital office that takes care of operations.
- The option to keep mandates with non-competing companies.
- A possible advance during the start-up phase, to be agreed.
Who we are looking for
We look for Italian plus German or French, experience in sales or hospitality, your own car and the drive to build relationships that last.
How your business grows
Your earnings are tied to your work and results. With a portfolio invoicing CHF 70'000–100'000 per month, they can reach around CHF 10'000–12'000 per month.
Common questions
May I work for other firms?
Yes, you can keep other mandates with companies that are not competitors.
Can I bring the customers I already have?
Yes, you can bring your customers and develop new relationships with LAPA’s support.
Do I need to be self-employed already?
No. If you are not yet, we explain how to work as a self-employed agent in Switzerland.
How is compensation calculated?
Compensation depends on your work and results, based on the portfolio you develop.
