IT ALL STARTED IN 2013 AS A SIMPLE IDEA
Every day, countless breads, croissants & sandwiches end up in the trash in the evening. Many now realize that these are still in absolutely perfect condition and far too good for the garbage can.
The four founders were inspired by ventures in Germany and France. The Äss-Bar hits the nerve of the time exactly.
For this reason, the Äss-Bar has made it its business to sell bread and baked goods from the day before.
The baked goods are picked up every morning from various bakeries in the respective vicinity.
In the process, several hundred tons have already been “saved” – and not only the environment is pleased, but also the wallet, because the baked goods are given away at greatly reduced prices.
Today, Äss-Bar has around 90 employees throughout Switzerland, including franchise partners in French-speaking Switzerland.
