MASTERS OF THE ROTISSERIE SINCE 1954
Swiss Chalet® isn't just a restaurant, it’s home for many Canadians. For over 70 years, we’ve served Canada's Famous Rotisserie Chicken. When you join us, you aren’t just opening a business, you’re inheriting a brand that generations of Canadians already know, trust, and crave.
PROVEN MODEL & MULTI-UNIT ADVANTAGE
Swiss Chalet® has over 190 locations across Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. We’ve spent decades integrating seamless technology so you can focus on what matters: leadership, work-life balance, and scaling your business. We provide the blueprint; you provide the local leadership.
SUPPORT FROM THE TEAM
Behind every successful franchisee is a dedicated team of experts. Once onboarded, franchisees participate in structured training, brand immersion sessions, and hands-on in-restaurant support before opening. Each franchisee is also assigned a dedicated Business Development Manager and new operators are further supported through mentorship relationships with experienced franchisees.
Over 50%
of our franchise network is led by multi-restaurant franchise partners - a clear sign of our scalability and the trust our partners place in us.

Our franchisees are deeply connected to their communities. They know their Guests, their teams, and their local markets. Our job at the brand level is to provide the systems that remove complexity and drive performance, empowering them to focus on the critical elements within their control.
