Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On February 8, 1995, Daka, Inc. ("Daka"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of DAKA International, Inc. (the
"Registrant"), acquired an 80.01% general partnership interest
in a newly-formed limited partnership, Daka Restaurants, L.P. ("DRLP"), 
which on the same date acquired substantially all of
the assets and foodservice contracts comprising the educational
foodservice business of ServiceMaster Management Services L.P.
("SMLP").  SMLP owns a 19.99% limited partnership interest in
DRLP.  Daka, as the sole general partner of DRLP, will control
DRLP and will be responsible for providing day-to-day management
for the 110 contracts acquired which in 1994 generated annual managed
volume of approximately $80 million.

The purchase price of approximately $10.3 million for
certain assets and foodservice contracts was substantially all
paid in cash using available borrowing capacity under the
Registrant's line of credit agreement with the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. 
and Shawmut Bank, N.A. In addition, DRLP acquired certain working capital 
assets such as cash on hand, inventory, accounts receivable and prepaid 
expenses, and assumed certain liabilities related to the acquired contracts.  
The purchase price for the working capital assets is estimated to be
approximately $10 million and will be paid to SMLP in cash on
August 7, 1995.  The Registrant has guaranteed the August 7,
1995 payment to be made by DRLP.

In connection with the formation of DRLP and the transfer of assets by
SMLP to DRLP, whereby SMLP acquired its limited partnership interest
in DRLP, the Registrant and SMLP have entered into
a Put and Call Agreement pursuant to which SMLP may require the
Registrant to purchase SMLP's limited partnership interest in
DRLP at any time during the ten year term of the partnership. 
The purchase price to be paid to SMLP upon exercise of its put
rights shall be $2.6 million plus SMLP's portion of any net
undistributed earnings of DRLP.  Pursuant to the Put and Call
Agreement, the Registrant may require SMLP to sell its limited
partnership interest to the Registrant after the fifth
anniversary of the formation of the partnership.  The purchase price to 
be paid to SMLP upon exercise by the registrant of its call rights shall be
120% of $2.6 million plus SMLP's portion of any net undistributed
earnings of DRLP.

Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

Since the acquired assets and foodservice contracts
were part of a larger business, and therefore do not have
separate historical financial statements, at the time of the
filing of this Form 8-K, it is impracticable for the Registrant
to provide (a) the required financial information related to the
acquired assets and foodservice contracts and (b) the pro forma
financial information relating to such acquisition referred to
in (a).  Such required financial information will be filed with
the Commission under cover of Form 8-K/A not later than April
24, 1995, in accordance with Form 8-K Item 7, paragraphs (a)(4)
and (b)(2).
