OUR MARKETING PLAN We envision the future of food service to be a holistic experience where our customers and clients find it easy to live well and thrive. We strive to provide more than just a cafĂŠ. It is an environment where people choose to be. It is a space that promotes community and collaboration that is powered by great tasting food that happens to be healthy.

We want our customers to be able to make responsible food choices, experience a connection with food, take ownership of their well-being and promote productivity and collaboration. Additionally, we want to leverage technology and enable customers to customize and own their food experience based on their own personal dietary requirements.

Making it easy for customers and clients to live well and thrive is the cornerstone of our vision. We have established foundational pillars that drive that vision – food, community, ownership and storytelling.

UNDERSTANDING OUR CUSTOMERS

The first step in developing a marketing plan is to understand your customer.

We have many communication channels in place to maintain continuous customer feedback. These resources ensure that we have a solid understanding of our customer dining patterns, styles, habits and preferences.

In addition to our commitment to understand the specific needs of our on-site customers, we proactively research consumer trends, both within and beyond the food category. We explore consumer values, behavioral drivers and generational dimensions that enable us to define key aspects that will appeal to and resonate with our customers. Our goal is to ensure that products and services align with the values and drivers of your customer base and introduce innovation in the food and service categories.

O ur M arketing P lan Understanding Our Customers

Our recipe for success begins with gaining extensive knowledge of our customers and clients, including an understanding of onsite values, behaviors, routines and preferences, along with lifestyles and priorities beyond the food and service categories.

On-Site Insights The primary objective of the Onsite Insight model is to assess guest preferences, surface opportunities, and gain an understanding of priorities and habits as it relates to the local dining experience. This process also enables us to validate the demographics and profiles of our customers/potential customers. Onsite Insight sessions can be conducted at regular intervals and/or scheduled based on specific topics such as new concepts, new menu items, technology solutions and service styles.

Additionally, we observe customers in existing environments to analyze traffic flow and identify opportunities to ease bottlenecks during peak service hours. If available, we study the demographic make-up of our on-site employee base to ensure our product offers align with the specific needs of our customers. The Onsite Insight process will also drive customer loyalty as they appreciate the opportunity to provide opinions and see their suggestions in action. On average, our Onsite Insight model delivers a 5% increase in participation and higher levels of customer satisfaction.

Supplementing our Onsite Insight Process…

We explore global consumer mega-trends, values, behavioral drivers and generational dimensions that enable us to identify key aspects that appeal to and resonate with customers. Our goal is to blend onsite research with emerging consumer trends and culinary innovations to deliver customized product and service solutions aligned with customer value.

WITY (What’s Important to You) Analysis – Client and Customers

Demographic Studies Analyses of the local geography and retail market baskets are conducted to ensure we have an understanding of local flavors, preferences and styles. Additionally, we observe customers in existing environments to analyze traffic flow and identify opportunities to ease bottlenecks during peak service hours.

If available, we study the demographic make-up of our on-site employee base to ensure our product offers align with the specific needs of our customers.

Gathering valid input from our partnered clients is critical to identifying and understanding individual requirements and business needs of each operation. Because we cannot assume we know our client’s and customer’s expectations, priorities and the motivations behind their selections, we must ask. The “What’s Important to You” (WITY) process allows us to peer into their thoughts and see the underlying reasons for their decisions in order to manage the business according to their expectations.

Once per year, or more often depending on operational needs, ac¬count management conducts a WITY meeting with each direct and/or indirect client. The WITY results are collected, discussed and prioritized based on current business objectives.

Each WITY criteria is benchmarked, measured for success, and reported back to each client throughout the year, or until the next meeting is conducted.

Surveys Customer loyalty surveys are conducted annually by a third-party provider that specializes in customer satisfaction and loyalty measurement. Respondents are asked to rate our performance how well our teams are delivering value and great service to our customers. Reports are compiled and distributed by unit, district and region. Each report contains an Action Plan that identifies key drivers of loyalty and areas of improvement. This ensures that we are focusing on the right things.

Seeing and understanding the business through the eyes of our clients helps develop solutions that meet their expectations lead¬ing to customer and client satisfaction, increased productivity, safety and overall increase in morale.

MEASURING SUCCESS

It is vitally important for us to measure the results of our marketing plans and regularly evaluate the results. This process ensures that we are creating measurable impact with our marketing efforts and enables us to proactively identify potential areas of concern and stay ahead of any developing opportunities.

O ur M arketing P lan Measuring Success Key Metrics Typically Assigned to the Marketing Discipline: • Top line sales

• Food cost

• Customer participation rates and/or customer counts

• Labor cost

• Check averages

• Customer satisfaction scores

• Daypart sales

• Client satisfaction scores

• Menu and product mix

Consumer and Client Feedback Channels Manager and Chef on the Floor Policy To ensure our ability to maintain a high level of customer satisfaction, it is our policy to have managers on the floor during all peak meal periods. This simple action allows us to proactively deal with any situations and opportunities that may arise.

Surveys Surveys are a tool for us to learn what is important to our customers and clients as well as identify areas that need improvement. Whether in print form or electronic, the key to the survey is completing the feedback loop by responding directly to customers either by posting a response or reaching out directly to the survey participants via email or letter.

Cookie for Your Thoughts The Cookie for your Thoughts program provides an opportunity for customers to offer verbal feedback regarding quality and service issues in the dining center environment. The forum offers customers an informal opportunity to provide comments and concerns to a dining center representative and gives them a free cookie (or equivalent) for their time. This forum solicits feedback, develops rapport and drives loyalty. The forum facilitator records all of the customer comments and then provides a written (or electronic) response to each comment. This document is then posted in the café (at the exit station) and/or on the customer website.

Comment Cards Comment cards inform us of our customers, likes and dislikes as well as provide us with suggestions for future café openings. Each unit should have self-mailer comment cards at exit tables. We post comments and responses to ensure our customers know that we are listening and acting on their suggestions. An email alias can also be established for customers to email or text their comments directly to the unit manager. A 360º feedback process is also established to ensure prompt response to electronic comments.

Pulse Surveys A pulse survey is a brief printed or electronic form, which is distributed and intended to gauge customer satisfaction between customer surveys. It is a short questionnaire that the customer completes and submits to then be entered into an incentive drawing.

Intercept Surveys Intercept surveys are conducted on an “as needed” basis. An individual is positioned near the exit area of the dining room and simply asks customers about their dining experience. The comments are recorded electronically, summarized and then reviewed. Appropriate actions and responses are then posted as appropriate. Intercept surveys can also be conducted electronically where applicable.

REFRESH AND REVIEW

We realize the importance of having a marketing plan in place with assigned ownership responsibilities in order to ensure implementation, follow-through and measured results.

9

O ur M arketing P lan Refresh and Review

Our 7 key dimensions, discussed throughout this manual, ensures alignment between operators, customers and clients and constantly introduces innovation and variety into the portfolio of food and service offerings.

This final step is the formal “Review, Revist and Refresh� phase in which we evaluate and analyze successes, opportunities and innovations to build into the next years’ marketing plan. We review financial metrics, customer satisfaction scores, client satisfaction scores, formal and informal customer feedback, changes in the on-site environment, local economy and/or any other extraneous factors or variables that may play into the need for us to adapt our programming for your on-site food services.

At the same time, we are constantly updating our portfolio of food and service solutions based on emerging trends in the food and service category.

Therefore, we encourage marketing plans to remain somewhat fluid and to regularly transform throughout the year in order to accommodate changing consumer styles and preferences, business pressures and demands along with up-and-coming food and service innovations. To that end, we have tools and resources in place to assist our managers with the creation and maintenance of their marketing plans.

MyCompass MyCompass is our intercompany web-based portal that provides managers with access to all internal company information and resources with the click of a mouse.

All of the promotions, campaigns, company announcements and associated information are housed within this powerful portal. By providing easy, one-stop shop, on demand access to MyCompass and all of its resources, our managers can spend more time on the floor with our customers.

FOOD We deliver great food that happens to be healthy and incoporate more whole grains, fruits and vegetables. We realize that food is fuel; therefore we want to give our customers more goos stuff and less bad stuff. We want to incorporate seasonal, local, authentic, nutrient-dense foods whenever possible to create a pathway to cleaner eating.

14

OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY

More good stuff, less bad stuff.

15

F ood Our Food Philosophy

We are committed to the wellbeing of our customers and planet.

Therefore, we have adopted principles focused on engineering our menus to create a more sustainable food supply, provide delicious, nutrient-dense meals for our guests and protect and improve the health of our planet.

Our culinary leaders have committed to making it easier for our customers to live well and thrive through our food philosophy, which includes the following commitments:

Conscious Menuing We promote wellbeing and sustainability through inspiring choices, featuring better-for-you menus and encouraging customer interaction while serving great tasting food that happens to be healthy.

Pro-produce Our goal is to increase customers’ access to vegetables and fruits by focusing on globally inspired, largely plant-based cooking.

Reduce red meat We are able to reduce red meat portion sizes and offerings by including recipes where meat plays more of a supporting role and by adding seasonal and local flavors to global cuisines.

Increase whole grains We offer 50 to 100 percent whole grain options in our cafés.

Purchase seasonally Eating seasonally means building menus around foods that have been harvested at their peak. This is better for our customers, community and the environment.

Purchase locally We feature local produce in our cafés to promote awareness of the rising trend in eat local initiatives across the country. Local produce is fresher, tastes better, supports community and is better for the environment.

Fuel performance Food is fuel. We focus on nutrient-dense functional foods that improve physical and mental performance, productivity and overall wellbeing.

Less Processed We believe that serving foods that are free from preservatives, additives and artificial colors are better for customers and the environment.

Food recovery Keeping food waste out of landfills is a critical part of Compass Group’s commitment to sustainable food service. One way to divert food waste from landfills is through the donation of food that is safe to eat but can no longer be served in a café; a process otherwise known as food recovery. With a number of organizations across the country, our accounts have access to facilities where they can easily donate food rather than throwing it away.

Avoiding Gluten To meet the growing demand of customers following a gluten-free diet, Compass Group has developed Avoiding gluten, a customizable program offering solutions through a variety of service levels. The Avoiding gluten program combines extensive training, innovative culinary development and strategic partnerships with customer education and communication to allow all of our customers to make safe food choices when eating in our cafes.

We offer menu items that have been prepared without gluten containing ingredients.

To identify these options, look for items labeled

or ask to speak with the chef

or manager. Please note that our menu items are not gluten free because we prepare and handle products containing gluten in our kitchens.

Important information about

labeling:

Menu options that were prepared without gluten ingredients are labeled

. However, due to our open kitchens that handle gluten for the preparation of other menu items,

we cannot guarantee that items made without gluten ingredients are “gluten-free,� as defined by FDA. While we make every effort to avoid gluten cross-contact, there is always the potential for cross-contact with other gluten containing food items, particularly in our self-serve facilities. We encourage guests to speak to the Chef or Manager regarding any questions about the ingredients contained in the food being considered.

Just the right mix of flavor and nutrients.

Balanced Bowls Eating well with balanced meals and snacks throughout the day is a great strategy for keeping your energy balanced and improving your overall health. One way that balanced meals help to keep you feeling your best is by keeping your blood sugar steady and avoiding peaks and valleys. This strategy is good for everyone, but especially important in people with or at risk for developing diabetes.

Mushrooms, with their rich umami quality, are the perfect ingredient to blend and swap with meat, without loss of texture or flavor. Combine mushrooms and meat in recipes to bring another serving of vegetables to the plate, add volume to meals, and extend portions. Lighten up family favorites like burgers, meatballs, pasta sauce and tacos by replacing a portion of the ground meat with mushrooms. Finely chopped mushrooms look similar and blend seamlessly with meat, so classics can be healthier without losing taste or satisfying texture.

These are the foundational initiatives that make up Compass Group’s food philosophy.

Hampton Creek

Recently, Compass Group signed an industry-shaping, exclusive partnership with Hampton Creek, an inspiring company with a mission to bring healthier and affordable food to everyone, everywhere. The recent partnership between Compass Group and Hampton Creek aligns with our vision and supports our mission to make it easy to live well and thrive.
