Im not sure this would actually fit the definition of capitalism anymore to be honest, the term ration seems to imply that all things an employee has are just provided to them by the company instead of actually paying them and having them buy things themselves. If people arent buying anything and arent paid, then money is effectively doesnt exist for these people, and therefore isnt the basis for the power their “employer”/owner has over them. Arguably this would be closer to some sort of feudalism with central planning.
It really depends on how the rest of their society looks. Think about mining towns, with miners paid in tokens, and spent entirely at the company store.

Yeah company towns were a thing 100 years ago and they were terrible and corporations desperately want to bring them back

Alternatively: You get shelter and regular rations in return for work. Otherwise you have to live out there…
