Pretty amazing, this coop runs two hotels with restaurants, another restaurant (all with 12–14 Gault Millau points), a coffee bar… including part time employees, employees without formal training, a nearly blind employee – i.e. a coop that makes a profit, that runs a business, and still manages to be employee friendly. I just asked: not all employees are members. They can be, but they don’t have to be.

More about coops. Since we are in Solothurn right now: the Kreuz is a coffee house, bar, restaurant and hotel coop that was founded in 1973 with the idea of having no hierarchies and equal pay for everybody.

The Kreuz ended up being the founding place of the Group for a Switzerland Without an Army (GSOA). A local friend told us that as a kid, his parents would forbid him to go the Kreuz. 😆

Another big coop in my life is my favourite weekly newspaper, @woz@troet.cafe.
