In partnership with Compass Group and Hormel, we reimagined the traditional employee pantry—transforming it into a dynamic, full-service café designed to energize and engage staff. The challenge: maximize functionality within a limited footprint while delivering a versatile, high-efficiency culinary hub. Our design introduced a fully electric kitchen system that seamlessly integrated three distinct culinary concepts, optimizing throughput without compromising space or design integrity.

This transformation was a result of seamless collaboration between Rayvn, Compass Group’s foodservice design team, and Hormel’s general contractors—ensuring the café was not only aesthetically refined but also highly functional and deeply connected to Hormel’s vibrant and inclusive workplace culture. By combining innovative design with strategic equipment choices, this project set a new standard for workplace dining, proving that even within compact spaces, a café can become a hub of inspiration, efficiency, and engagement.
