                                                                 (704) 329-4018

                        COMPASS EXTENDS DAKA TENDER OFFER
                         AND SETS PROPOSED CLOSING DATE
   
         JUNE 26, 1997 (CHARLOTTE, NC) . . . Compass Group PLC announced today
that Compass Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass Group, is
extending its offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of DAKA
International, Inc. (Nasdaq National Market: DKAI) for $7.50 per share in cash
until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, July 9, 1997. The terms of
the extended offer are identical to the terms of the original offer announced
on May 29, 1997.

         Compass Group also noted that DAKA International has announced that
DAKA International has moved the  record date for the  distribution of shares
of Unique Casual Restaurants, Inc. ("UCRI"), a recently formed corporation
that will operate the restaurant business of DAKA International, from June 24,
1997 to July 8, 1997. As previously announced, immediately prior to the
consummation of Compass Holdings' tender offer, one share of common stock of
UCRI is to be distributed for each DAKA International share.

         Consummation of the tender offer is subject to numerous conditions as
described in the tender offer materials, including the registration under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of the UCRI common stock. Compass has been
advised by DAKA International that the Registration Statement relating to the
UCRI common stock has not yet been declared effective.

         Compass Group currently expects that the tender offer will not be
extended beyond July 9, 1997, although it is possible that another extension
could occur if all of the conditions of the offer are not then satisfied. If all
of the conditions of the offer are satisfied when the offer period expires
on July 9, 1997, Compass Group also expects that The Bank of New York, the
Depositary for the offer, will begin making payment on  Friday, July  11, 1997
for all DAKA International shares that have been validly tendered.

         As of the close of business on June 25, 1997, approximately 9,365,068
shares of DAKA International common stock, representing approximately 84% of
the shares then outstanding, had been validly tendered.

         For more information contact Ginger Smith, Director of Marketing and
Communications, Compass Group, USA Division at (704) 329-4018 or Ron Morley,
Compass Group PLC at (011) 44-193-257-3005.
