They should just open up a section in the Business Class Lounge and use it as F / HON. There are kitchen facilities, hence they could also offer a food selection, ideally even a la carte. That's what EK did, they blocked off a section of their Business Class Lounge for First passengers including specific food / drink selection on demand. This will also create again more space for Business, SEN, FTL passengers if that blocked of section in the SEN lounge could be used again.

Currently in Zurich Senator A Lounge...busy but not that hard to find a seat...people seem to not notice that they opened up a way through the senator lounge that connects to what was the business lounge (I guess now it's one huge business lounge considering the HON people are separated in a small area by the entrance)...they have a lot more variety of food from what I remember last month...they have sandwiches, pasta, meatballs, some dessert thing and plenty of snacks like fruit, gummies, crackers and popcorn. The drinks now include wine (not sure if it was an odd day but last month when I was here they only had beer and soda).

was there last week. Only the business class lounge is open. They keep a separate area for F/HON pax with no additional benefits that I could see.
Very limited f&b offerings. Staff paying high attention at disinfecting coffee machines etc after every usage.

Live report from ZRH A lounge:
As the alpine lounge greeted me with a closed door this Sunday morning, I was directed to the A Senator lounge. Its quite busy here and they are serving breakfast at the moment. Not bad. Lets see if I can grab lunch before my flight as well.
PS now realizing that the Senator lounge is an exact mirror of the regular Business lounge, except this little lounge area (with the better drinks, I reckon).
Update at 11:30: Lunch was pretty tasty - lounge is still busy, but cleaning up is quick

We can only hope that Swiss will open more lounge space soon. My wife flew yesterday ZRH-BOS and said the lounge was crowded with barely a place to sit. Food pathetic.
... and that was on a Saturday ... can't imagine that to be any better on a weekday!
