Executive lounge
This is not a Spielbank, but rather an area for company executives in a factory. I always associated this with an executive dining room, but the image I have shows couches, coffee tables, etc. Unfortunately this is a rush.
Thanks, Kevin

: A little late, but yes. I once worked at an investment bank on Wall Street, and there was an executive lounge and dining room. This was in the 80s

Comment: "I'm going with "executive lounge" as the scene depicted couches, coffee tables, etc. rather than a dining area
Thanks to all!"

Although the translation you give is correct, and would be ideal for a staff/workers canteen or a company cafeteria in the UK or US, it would almost certainly not be used in the form of "(executive) canteen"or "(executive) cafeteria", as these two "eateries" are generally considered to be for the "lower ranks" in companies.
It is general practice to give the executive dining areas a "posh" name - like restaurant or lounge.
