          ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER

                    Item 1 of Schedule 13D (as defined below) is
          hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                    This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D relates to
          the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
          Stock"), of JP Foodservice, Inc., a Delaware corporation
          (the "Issuer"), and is being filed on behalf of Sara Lee
          Corporation to amend the Schedule 13D, filed on November
          30, 1994 and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on
          December 16, 1994, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on
          September 14, 1995, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on

          the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

                    Because Sara Lee Corporation no longer beneficially

        Columbia, Maryland 21046
        Attention: James L. Miller

        Dear Mr. Miller:

             This letter is to confirm our understanding regarding
        certain matters relating to the registration, under the
        Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and public offering of
        shares of common stock (the "JP Stock") of JP Foodservice,
        Inc. ("JP") and certain rights of the PYA Investors (collec-
        tively, "PYA") and the Management Investors under the Amended
        and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
        November 22, 1994, as amended on July 16, 1996, by and among
        JP, PYA/Monarch, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
        Sara Lee Corporation, and certain other parties thereto (the
        "Registration Rights Agreement").

             JP has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File
        No. 333-14039) with the Securities and Exchange Commission
        pursuant to the exercise by PYA of its demand registration
        rights under Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement. 
        Such registration statement (the "Registration Statement")
        covers the offering (the "JP Offering") of 5,700,000 shares of
        JP Stock, exclusive of shares of JP Stock to cover over-
        allotment options, if any.  If the underwriters of the JP
        Offering exercise such over-allotments in full, PYA will not
        own any shares of JP Common upon consummation of the JP
        Offering.

             The Management Investors hereby agree to waive their
        right to receive 45 days' prior written notice of the filing
        of the Registration Statement and agree to waive their "piggy-
        back" registration rights pursuant to Section 4 of the Regis-
        tration Rights Agreement with respect to the JP Offering.

             The provisions of Section 8 of the Registration Rights
        Agreement shall be superseded, with respect to the JP Offering
        only, by the provisions of Section 9 of the underwriting
        agreements executed in connection with the JP Offering.

             The undersigned Management Investors hold at least 51% of
        the JP Stock held by the Management Investors.  The under-
        signed PYA Investors hold at least 51% of the JP Stock held by
        the PYA Investors.

             This letter agreement shall amend and supersede the
        Registration Rights Agreement to the extent it is inconsistent
        therewith.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
        the Registration Rights Agreement shall remain in full force
        and effect.

             This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed
        in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without
        regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  This letter
        agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
        which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken
        together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

             Please acknowledge your agreement with the foregoing by
        signing and returning a copy of this letter to us, which
        thereupon will constitute our agreement with respect to the
        foregoing.
