LE RAVY
Born from an initiative led by local residents, Le Ravy is a welcoming community hub at the heart of the Champ-Ravy neighbourhood centre in Plan-les-Ouates. Originally created to bring people together in what was then a predominantly residential area, it now welcomes local residents, families, associations and visitors around quality food and a strong social purpose.
Context and Mission
When Caritas, which had been operating the restaurant, decided to step away from this role, the Municipality of Plan-les-Ouates approached Malipa Hospitality Solutions to support the search for a new operator.
The challenge was to preserve Le Ravy’s social and community-led identity, which is deeply valued by local residents and associations, while finding a restaurant model that could remain sustainable in the long term. The new operator therefore needed to balance food service, professional reintegration and training, community life and financial sustainability.
Our solution
Malipa Hospitality Solutions supported the Municipality in shaping the future of Le Ravy and identifying an operator able to understand the unique nature of the venue. Our approach was built around the needs of the neighbourhood, the venue’s social purpose and the practical realities of running the restaurant.
Project scoping
Engaging with the various stakeholders to understand the history of the venue, its participatory model and the expectations of local residents, associations and Municipality representatives.
Organization of the tender
Defining the selection criteria, drafting the tender specifications and launching the call for tenders to identify candidates aligned with Le Ravy’s values and ambitions.
Interviews and final selection
Supporting the Municipality throughout candidate interviews, the assessment of proposals and the final selection process for the new operator.
