Switzerland exports more than just bank services, e.g. grocery products like cheese and chocolate which are products produced with low wages.
And yes it'expensive, I'm currently living in Gèneve and paying more than enough for my kebabs (it's cheaper to pay for the tram to Annemasse in France and have the kebab over there).

What the higher minimum wage will do is push either for automating or exporting lower wage tasks, which will reduce immigration (since those jobs are not really done by swiss citizens anyways), and there are surprisingly a lot of xenophobic people in Switzerland that are OK with this.
