Wowing Guests with a New Modern, Healthy Dining Experience at the OCCC

Jun. 01, 2022

Reinvent your guest experience with fresh, healthy, locally infused flavor profiles and adaptable menu concepts. A 2019 revamp of the “traditional cafeteria” style at the Orange County Convention Center’s (OCCC) West Building led to the establishment of four modern, visually striking eateries – stocked with fresh, à la minute menu items to command and amplify the Center’s guest experience.

Working with our partners at the OCCC, changes were made based upon guest feedback indicating a preference for more local and healthy options. Guests wanted to explore different flavors while visiting for a meeting or event, but also keep with their wellness lifestyle from home.
