Executive Summary
Nestled in the vibrant expanse of Gastonia, North Carolina, Covenant Village stands as an invigorating and youthful Life Plan Community. The philosophy at Covenant Village encourages residents to cultivate an “appetite for adventure,” a mindset that shapes their experience. Choosing Covenant Village isn’t merely selecting a residence; it’s a testament to a desire for diverse connections, an affinity for captivating individuals, and an aspiration to belong to a family-like community. As Covenant Village’s residents evolve and flourish in their personal journeys, the trajectory of your hospitality program must align — steadfast in its growth and evolution, in harmony with the vibrant community it serves.
CCL Hospitality Group holds itself to the highest standards and best-in-class dining services, and in considering Covenant Village’s mission, core values and spectacular lifestyle service, we see numerous parallels. We constantly challenge ourselves and our client partners to think beyond what our reputation for senior living foodservice looks like today. An inspired lifestyle is not static.
In partnership with Covenant Village, we will continue to build an inviting community where every day is a celebration, where there is a sense of belonging and friendship. It is an absolute honor to serve residents in their homes each day, which is what motivates us to go above and beyond for our residents, their guests and their families.
We recognize that some of our fondest memories are shared at the table over a wonderful meal. CCL Hospitality Group plans to bring charm, style and grace to each dining experience created within the Covenant Village community.

With a dedication to excellence, we will create experiences at Covenant Village that blend culinary artistry, expertise in wellness, passion for service, strong management and customized senior living solutions. This philosophy extends through every piece of our business – from our authentic, scratchmade food to the passionate and expert training of our skilled team members.

Our approach is to work alongside your team to elevate the existing dining program and curate culinary experiences that delight your residents and the greater Covenant Village and Gaston communities for years to come. A partnership is not defined merely by a signature on paper.

Drawing from our extensive experience in employee transitions, CCL Hospitality Group possesses a deep understanding of the processes and practices necessary to retain our valued associates.

Unmatched Recruiting
The use of our centralized Compass Group Talent Acquisition team is integral to our recruiting strategy. Our management has the full support of two recruitment teams: one focused on management vacancies at all levels and the other on hourly recruitment.
Posting
Our team is able to attract the best talent by using internal talent pooling, external recruitment strategies that utilize data analytics and more than 150 internet employment websites and a variety of diverse and inclusive direct employer associations.
Profile Assessments
Using customized profile assessments ensures our chosen candidates perform at the level of proficiency required for each position.
Strategic Interviewing
Our behavior-based interview process evaluates success in past experiences and problem-solving skills that lead to a more accurate predictor of future job performance. It is our goal to select the right people for the right job.
It all starts with people. Compass Group PLC is one of the largest employers in the world, and we are always searching for great people to serve our partners and residents, which is why we started changing the way we find talent.
Hourly Turnover: Two Times Lower Than Industry Average
Our online recruitment tool features a behavioral assessment for hourly applicants that helps our management team hire the right people. Currently, Compass Group’s turnover is two times lower than the national hospitality industry average, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Incentives include:
• Labor pooling – Extra hours for part time
• Wage matrix
• Discount marketplace
• Internal opportunities
Associate Benefits
Compass Group offers a comprehensive Total Rewards package geared toward attracting and retaining high-caliber associates needed to successfully compete in the industry.
Our Total Rewards program offers a competitive benefits package that features a wide range of options, including tools and resources that are geared toward helping our associates:
• Grow personally and professionally
• Get rewarded for the results they deliver
• Plan for the future
We realize associates have different benefit needs – needs that will likely change as their personal lives change. For that reason, we offer our associates choices through our flexible benefits program.
On-Demand Pay Offers Powerful Benefits
Flexible Time Off Policy
Our Flexible Time Off Plan builds a supportive team culture that fosters individual wellness, good communication, flexibility, and trust. We empower salaried team members with freedom to blend both work and personal life responsibilities, thereby maximizing contributions and value to the company,
Salaried Team Members
• Are empowered to decide how best to rest, relax and recharge.
• Have the flexibility to manage their own time-off schedules.
• No longer have a fixed number of PTO days for vacation and sick leave.
• Manage how they will utilize their own time off, working with their team members to ensure their responsibilities are covered while they are away from work.
• Need manager approval and provide at least two weeks’ notice for routine time off.
Building Financial Freedom
Compass Group has earned the distinction of being a preferred employer by understanding the importance of our people. That’s why we’ve partnered with ONE@Work – a provider of responsible on-demand pay – to further invest in our frontline teams by introducing Instapay to hourly associates currently using MyStaff.
Instapay is a powerful retention tool for existing associates and an attractive differentiator to potential new hires. It allows users to access their wages before payday and the same day they earn them – as soon as the very first day of employment.
Answering Labor Challenges
ONE@Work is the only on-demand financial wellness app that uses scientific research to promote financial literacy and security for employees. Its findings indicate 60% of employers report that financial stress affects their employees’ ability to focus, resulting in a 41% loss of working time. Similar pay programs have alleviated other common labor challenges – including employee productivity and absenteeism – by granting visibility into daily earnings and early access to funds when needed.
Meeting Our Associates’ Needs
Instapay uses the convenient mobile app that integrates with MyStaff, our workforce management platform, and links it to our associates’ available balance, and time and attendance records. Users receive up to 50% of their wages earned to date through direct deposit or a pay card without hidden fees, interest rates or loans.
Features
• Automatic budgeting – Displays bills that are due soon and upcoming paychecks, and offers suggestions for payment plans.
• Schedule and earnings – Allows employees to view their work schedule to track their earnings in real time. Access to funds is permitted two times per pay cycle and not to exceed 50% of earned wages.
• Automatic savings – Gives the option of dedicating a percentage of each paycheck to reach a savings goal, showing estimated savings and when the target will be hit.
• Technical support – In-app support from ONE@Work advisors is available seven days a week with additional resources from Compass Group payroll as needed.
The ONE@Work platform is not a Compass Group-sponsored employee benefit plan or associated with any other Compass Group-sponsored employee benefit. Cost and available balance may vary by state.
HOW IT WORKS
• Associate downloads the ONE@Work app and registers for a monthly membership.
• Data and estimated earnings from clock punches submitted through MyStaff are sent to ONE@Work.
• After advance request is initiated through the app, funds are received via either direct deposit or pay card, and the advanced amount is returned to Compass Group.
• ONE@Work is repaid for the membership fee and advance(s) through payroll deductions or bank withdrawal, depending on state regulations.
HOW IT HELPS
• Challenges labor market headwinds – Competitive entry-level wages and creative differentiator
• Mitigates financial insecurity – Early pay helps offset unanticipated financial needs amplified through COVID-19 downturn and recovery, and expands financial literacy
• Retains partners – An added value for associates and clients
Great Employees Make Magic
CCL Hospitality Group knows the act of recognition plays a big part in associate engagement and retention in the workplace. Our leadership expects managers to embrace our culture of recognition, not only for all the business reasons, but because it is the right thing to do.
Our GEM recognition program creates the opportunity to recognize an associate’s hard work, reinforce core values and shape a culture where people feel appreciated, connected and inspired. Through our trackable awards and recognition platform, we aim to create a collaborative work environment, increase employee motivation and productivity and retain top talent. Our studies have found that our GEM recipients are two times more likely to choose to stay employed by us.
Three ways to use GEM to reward star associates
• GEM Frontline Award honors our best hourly and nonexempt associates for reaching targeted goals. The award consists of a $50 certificate presented to deserving recipients at team meetings detailing their achievements.
• GEM SPOT Awards celebrate managed associates, other folks who are not on our payroll and hard-working managers with monetary awards in the amount of $20 on up to $2,500. These award certificates are meant to be created by account directors for any awarding reason they might need, on the spot.
• ShoutOuts are a nonmonetary component to use in creating thank yous, congratulations and birthday notes that can be sent to an email or smart phone or printed to present.

Overall, our CCL Hospitality Group Culinary Support Service team is well-connected to enable maximum support for teams while sharing best practices from across the country.
Our chefs and registered dietitians collaborate to create a menu balanced with extraordinary taste, variety and nutrition. That level of care and artistry in the main dining room extends to all dining environments and all living levels.
Through our culinary training programs, rising chefs and team members are able to hone both their leadership and culinary skill sets in an interactive way to advance in their careers.
The Culinary Advancement Training Series takes an equal emphasis on hourly and salaried culinarians while providing equal training opportunities and in-depth development plans to make this platform unique in contract management foodservice.
Our development plans can effectively provide a path for all kitchen personnel to gradually scale the culinary ranks to reach their desired positions and ranking.
Upon completion of the curriculum, associates are provided with mentorship opportunities to further advance their careers. Associates are then added to the CCL Hospitality Group list of emerging leaders for future opportunities that match their individual career goals.
We focus on associate engagement, training and development as a time priority from a culinary perspective. Thought Kitchen provides your executive chefs with the culinary tools needed to deliver structured training, mentorship and instructions to their kitchen team. CCL Hospitality Group will provide you with a toolkit that includes:
• Nine in-depth training modules that cover everything from food safety and sanitation to cooking methods for soups and sauces

A CULTURE OF WELLNESS AND SUSTAINABILITY
It empowers us to advocate for change, push for transparency and continually seek ways to be more socially and environmentally conscious. Compass Group invests in the future through corporate social responsibility and sustainable sourcing with well-defined commitments that make meaningful changes from account-specific frontline initiatives to overarching companywide ones.
Our focus on recycling, resource conservation and waste reduction helps us operate more efficiently. Through partnerships with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, food recovery organizations and productive business partnerships, we make a difference by fighting waste, developing simplified menus and redirecting wholesome food from landfills to support and improve the communities we serve.
Our wellness and sustainability platform manifests our values and is built into everything we do. Working together, our chefs and registered dietitians integrate wellness into our seasonal menus, train teams on our initiatives, build marketing promotions and offer a portfolio of healthy choices that drive sales and participation.
This is our journey of simple ingredients and sourcing because what we serve matters. Our philosophy activates the narrative about the ingredients we use, the recipes we create, the passion of our people and the innovation of our initiatives.
Sustainable practices
We have a long-standing commitment to the health of our customers, communities and the planet. We invest in the future through socially responsible business practices and sustainable food sourcing that directly affects our menus.
Local sourcing
We support local agricultural markets by establishing mutually beneficial partnerships with area farmers and growers committed to sustainable practices. We contract with environmentally conscious suppliers who have established alliances with premier growers and shippers to ensure a level of food safety unmatched by others. We source ingredients from local (within 250 miles) and regional (within 400 miles) sources as a first choice in an effort to support small and midsized American family farms. Our chefs choose local produce as a first choice and are able to identify upon ordering what their options are for local purchases.
From suppliers of organic and sustainable products to the communities where we work and live, we invest in the future.
Healthy Sustainable Relationships
• Zero Trans Fats – We’ve eliminated artificial trans fats from cooking oils, margarines and other spreads. We also work with our suppliers to promote snacks, baked goods, and other products that meet the American Heart Association guidelines of decreasing trans fats without increasing saturated fats.
• Sustainable Seafood – We are committed to serving seafood products purchased from responsible sourced suppliers. Our joint venture with Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch shifts sourcing to sustainable species and envirofriendly fisheries and aquaculture operations.
• Organics – We offer organic items in many of our operations. Depending on your preferences, we can offer and highlight organic choices throughout the servery or at a dedicated serving station.
• Natural/Certified Organic Foods –Growing relationships with approved natural and certified organic vendors give our clients and customers more options than ever for healthier menus and lifestyles.
• Good To-Go Disposables – provides a smarter approach for to-go containers. We reduce packaging, uses smaller containers with fewer raw materials, and reduces our waste by up to 30%.
Purchasing Poultry Produced Without The Routine Use Of Human Antibiotics
The nontherapeutic use of antibiotics in animal production is a growing public health concern, as it decreases the effectiveness of antibiotics to treat diseases in humans. Therefore, we only serve chicken and turkey that have been raised with restricted use of these drugs, especially as a growth additive in feed.
Humane Welfare Of Farm Animals

Waste Reduction Initiatives

In areas of the U.S., food waste accounts for more than 15% of materials entering landfills. According to the EPA, our nation spends an estimated $1 billion every year to dispose of excess food. We developed Waste Not to increase awareness by tracking, measuring and minimizing food waste at the community level in four categories: production waste, overproduction, unused/out-of-date inventory and open category.
Waste Not, our proprietary, tablet-based program, creates positive impact for our frontline teams by focusing on avoidable waste reduction with dashboard reporting and real-time tracking, resulting in reduced costs.
Our waste management dashboards provide robust reporting tools. Our systems achieve waste-reduction goals with data consistently reviewed and opportunities identified to modify operations and change behaviors.

Nutrition & Aging Well
Nutrition that fuels a healthy body is important no matter what your age. However, what you need to promote health as an older adult is different than other stages of the life cycle and aging may present new challenges to health goals. For example, medications can change how food tastes and how hungry you feel while absorption ability also changes with age.
Below are 5 principal nutrients to consider when optimizing nutrition over 65 years old.
Vitamin D: Important for bone and muscle health, immunity, and cognition. Skin absorption decreases with age. Daily needs increase after age 70
Calcium: Goes hand-in-hand with Vitamin D for bone health.
Intake recommendation for 51 years and older is 1200mg per day.
Nutrient Sources
1. Salmon
Vitamin D (recommended daily allowance 800 IU)
2. Swordfish
3.Tuna fish
4.Fortified OJ or milk
5.Fortified cereal

Calcium
(recommended daily allowance 1200 mg)
1. Dairy milk or fortified plant-based milk
2. Almonds
3. Winter squash
4. Tofu or edamame
5. Leafy greens
Vitamin B-12
Vitamin B-12: Needed for red blood cell and DNA formation, nerve and brain cell function. Gut absorption may decrease with age.
(recommended daily allowance
2.4
Protein: Increased importance with age to maintain muscle mass, immunity, and physical function. Research recommends increase protein for older adults (1-1.2g per kilogram of weight)
Calories: While nutrient needs remain the same or increase with age, caloric needs decrease, making nutrient density of food even more important
