What Gaplan Gmbh, Gastronomiefachplanung & Konzepte does

GaPlan GmbH is a Swiss specialist consultancy that provides independent, manufacturer-neutral planning and consulting for commercial kitchens and gastronomy facilities, founded in 2008 by Klaus Mosimann and headquartered in Villigen (Aargau) with a secondary office in Balsthal (Solothurn). The firm delivers a full-service offering across SIA 102 project phases — from concept and feasibility studies (phase 21) through to execution and acceptance (phases 31-53) — covering public gastronomy, employee gastronomy, care gastronomy, and school catering/kitas. Its named projects include Stadt Zürich, Kulm Hotel St. Moritz, Alterszentrum Rinau Park, Baloise, Bühler, Schulthess Klinik, Migros restaurants, Flughafen Zürich Center Bar, Sika, 3M and Grand Casino Baden.

The technology foundation is Building Information Modeling (BIM) implemented in Autodesk Revit, supported by standardized Swiss SIA project phasing rather than proprietary software. BIM is positioned as a core deliverable, with several team members (Ingo Schubert, Melanie Merki, Jeannette Huwiler) holding Revit-Master or BIM-coordination credentials. The firm's intellectual positioning stresses manufacturer independence, neutrality, and sector specialization rather than software-led differentiation.

The revenue model is project-based professional services revenue, delivered via a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting architects, public authorities, investors, and restaurateurs across Switzerland. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; distribution is direct with no channel partnerships, and customer acquisition is driven by industry reputation, referrals, the Gastro Blog, a monthly newsletter, and trade-show presence (IGEHO). Ownership is private and founder/family-controlled, with no external investors, funding rounds, or M&A disclosed in the source material.
