N°02.1 — Thesis

Built by operators.

We have spent the last decade building and scaling our own company — from the first storefront to multi-location operations, from the first product line to international rollout.

We invest in companies that have already proven their concept in market. From there, we partner closely — bringing the operating muscle, brand craft and commercial systems that turn early traction into a durable business.

2017
N°01
First pop-up. Proof of concept.
Delano, Andri and three co-founders return from Southeast Asia and open a summer pop-up at Europaallee in Zürich. A single location, one menu — enough to prove the concept works.
2018 – 2021
N°02
Store-in-store. Bootstrapped.
Instead of taking on full leases, kaisin. sub-rents space inside bars and cafés as a store-in-store concept. Low overhead, fast learning — every franc saved is reinvested into the first own locations.
2021 – 2026
N°03
Building up 13 restaurants.
Strategy shift to standalone flagships. Altstetten, Talacker, Oerlikon, Seefeld, Enge, Hardbrücke, HB, Binz, Zug — and openings in Basel and Lucerne — bring the network to thirteen restaurants.
2024
N°04
Management buyout of three co-founders.
Delano and Andri lead a management buyout of three co-founders, consolidating ownership and clearing the runway for the next stage of growth.
2027 – 2030
N°05
Scaling across Europe.
From a Swiss platform of own restaurants and a real production kitchen, kaisin. expands beyond Switzerland — with the ambition to become the largest bowl provider in Europe.
