  This Prospectus relates to the offering and sale (the "Offering") of up to
1,332,847 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"),
of DAKA International, Inc. ("DAKA" or the "Company") to be held by certain

Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Preferred Stock"), of the Company into
shares of Common Stock.  See "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling Stockholders."
The registration of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby does not
necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholders will elect to convert all or
any of their shares of Preferred Stock or that, upon such conversion, any
shares of Common Stock will be offered or sold by the Selling Stockholders.

  The Company has been advised by each of the Selling Stockholders that each
Selling Stockholder, acting as principal for its own account, directly, through
agents designated from time to time, or through dealers or underwriters also
to be designated, may sell all or a portion of the Common Stock offered hereby
from time to time on terms to be determined at the time of sale.  To the extent
required, the specific shares of Common Stock to be sold, the names of the
Selling Stockholders, the respective purchase prices and the public offering
prices, the names of any such agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable
commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth

See "Plan of Distribution."  Each of the Selling Stockholders reserves the
sole right to accept and, together with their respective agents from time to
time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares of
Common Stock to be made directly or through agents.

  The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the
Common Stock offered hereby will be the purchase price of the Common Stock
sold less the aggregate agents' commissions and underwriters' discount, if
any, and other expenses of issuance and distribution not borne by the
Company.  The Company will pay all of the expenses of the Offering other
than brokerage or underwriting commissions.  See "Registration Rights" and
"Plan of Distribution" for indemnification arrangements between the Company
and the Selling Stockholders.  The Company will not receive any proceeds from
the sale of the Common Stock offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders.

  The Common Stock is traded over-the-counter and is quoted on the Nasdaq
National Market ("NASDAQ") under the symbol "DKAI."

                               THE COMPANY

     DAKA was formed in 1988 in connection with the merger of Daka, Inc.
("Daka") and Fuddruckers, Inc. ("Fuddruckers"), and is a diversified foodservice
and restaurant company operating in the contract foodservice management industry
and in the restaurant industry.  Daka provides restaurant-style contract
foodservice management at a variety of schools and colleges, corporate offices,
factories, healthcare facilities, museums and government offices.  Fuddruckers
owns, operates and franchises Fuddruckers restaurants, which specialize in
moderately-priced, casual dining for families and adults.  In 1994, the Company
acquired a 57% voting interest in Americana Dining Corporation ("ADC"), a
newly formed company which acquired two restaurants operated under the name
"Champps Sports Cafe" pursuant to a license from Champps Entertainment, Inc.
licensor and franchisor of Champps restaurants.  ADC has the exclusive rights
to develop Champps restaurants in Ohio, Florida and seven Illinois counties.

     Founded in 1973, Daka is one of the 10 largest contract foodservice
management companies in the United States.  Operating under the name "Daka
Restaurants," Daka seeks to provide a retail restaurant atmosphere for its
guests by operating, among other things, a variety of branded concepts such
as Taco Bell, Burger King, Pizza Hut and Dunkin' Donuts pursuant to licensing
arrangements, as well as its own signature concepts within its foodservice
operations.  In July 1993, Daka acquired the majority of the assets and
foodservice contracts comprising Service America Corporation's educational
foodservice business.  The acquired business provides contract foodservice
to a variety of colleges and universities, and to public and private elementary
and secondary schools, many of which are located in geographic areas where Daka
had a significant presence.  In February 1995, Daka, through a newly formed
80% owned limited partnership, Daka Restaurants, L.P., acquired certain
educational foodservice and corporate dining contracts from ServiceMaster
Management Services L.P.  The acquired contracts expanded Daka's geographic
presence into the western United States and strengthened its existing presence
in the midwest.

     Fuddruckers restaurants, with an average check of approximately $6.15 and
a "Kids Eat Free" program after 4 PM on Monday through Thursday, are designed
to appeal to both families and adults seeking value in a casual dining
atmosphere.   The menu prominently features Fuddruckers' signature hamburgers,
which are cooked to order and served on buns baked daily "from scratch" at
each restaurant.   The Fuddruckers restaurant decor features an open grill
area, a glassed-in butcher shop and meat display case, an open bakery and a
colorful display island of fresh produce and a variety of condiments, sauces
and melted cheeses from which guests may garnish their own meals.  Fuddruckers
opened its first restaurant in 1980 in San Antonio, Texas and as of July 1,
1995, has expanded its operations to include 98 Fuddruckers-owned and 70
franchised restaurants located throughout the United States and in Canada, the 
Middle East and Australia.  In 1995, Fuddruckers opened 22 Fuddruckers-owned
restaurants and 9 franchised restaurants.  In 1996, Fuddruckers plans to open 
30 domestic Fuddruckers-owned and 20 franchised restaurants of which up to 5
will be opened in foreign countries. 

     The Company's principal executive offices are located at One Corporate
Place, 55 Ferncroft Road, Danvers, Massachusetts 01923-4001, and its telephone
number is (508) 774-9115.



                             REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     The registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part will discharge certain of the
Company's obligations under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement
dated as of January 17, 1992 with the holders of the Preferred Stock (the
"Registration Rights Agreement").

     Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed
to pay all expenses of effecting the registration of such shares of Common
Stock (other than brokerage and underwriting commissions).  The Company also
has agreed to indemnify each Selling Stockholder under the Registration Rights
Agreement and its officers, directors and other affiliated persons and any
person who controls any Selling Stockholder against all losses, claims,
damages and expenses arising under the securities laws in connection with
the Registration Statement or this Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto or hereto, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Selling
Stockholders under the Registration Rights Agreement agreed to indemnify the
Company and its directors, officers and any person who controls the Company
against any losses, claims, damages and expenses arising under the securities
laws in connection with the Registration Statement or this Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto or hereto, but only to the extent such loss,
claim, damage or expense relates to written information furnished to the
Company by such Selling Stockholder expressly for use in the Registration
Statement or this Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or hereto.

(1) Includes, with respect to each indicated Selling Stockholder, Common
    Stock to be issued to such Selling Stockholder upon conversion by such
    Selling Stockholder of his or its shares of Preferred Stock, of which
    such Selling Stockholder is deemed to be the beneficial owner pursuant
    to Exchange Act Rule 13d-3.

(2) Voting stock includes outstanding shares of Common Stock and all shares
    of Common Stock that may be issued to the holders of Preferred Stock upon
    conversion thereof.  For purposes of determining the percentages set forth
    in the table, each share of Preferred Stock is counted as the equivalent
    of the number of shares of Common Stock into which it can be converted,
    whether or nor conversion has occurred, because holders of Preferred
    Stock are entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the
    Company's stockholders for each share of Common Stock issuable upon
    conversion.

(3) Eric C. Larson and Timothy A. Dugan, who are members of the Board of
    Directors of the Company, are general partners of Cross Creek Partners I,
    an investment partnership comprised of individual officers of The First
    National Bank of Chicago, an affiliate of First Capital Corporation of
    Chicago ("FCCC").  Mr. Larson and Mr. Dugan are the beneficial owners of
    a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Cross Creek
    Partners I by virtue of their general partnership interest therein.  FCCC,
    an equity investment subsidiary of First Chicago Corporation, transferred
    a total of 15,000 shares of Preferred Stock to the other Selling
    Stockholders (excluding Cross Creek Partners I) on May 11, 1992, but
    retained all voting  rights with respect thereto.  Although by virtue of
    such retained voting rights FCCC is deemed to be a beneficial owner of the 
    10,553.955  shares of Preferred Stock still owned by such Selling
    Stockholders and the 234,532 shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon 
    conversion thereof, FCCC has no pecuniary interest in such shares or the
    shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof and the ownership of
    Common Stock for FCCC set forth in this table does not include any such
    shares.

(4) Excludes all shares beneficially owned by FCCC.  Cross Creek Partners I
    is an investment partnership comprised of individual officers of The
    First National Bank of Chicago, an affiliate of FCCC.

(5) FCCC transferred to this Selling Stockholder shares of Preferred Stock
    on May 11, 1992, but retained all voting rights with respect thereto. 
    Although by virtue of such retained voting rights FCCC is deemed to be
    a beneficial owner of the shares of Preferred Stock still owned by such
    Selling Stockholder and the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon
    conversion  thereof, FCCC has no pecuniary interest in such shares or the
    shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof and the ownership
    of Common Stock for FCCC set forth in this table does not include any
    such shares.

(6) Created under the John G. Schreiber 1987 Children's Trust U/A DTD 12/1/87.


                            PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     The shares of Common Stock offered hereby may be sold from time to time
in one or more transactions at a fixed offering price, which may be changed,
or at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. The
Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer shares of Common Stock
offered hereby to or through underwriters, dealers or agents, who may
receive consideration in the form of discounts and commissions; such
compensation, which may be in excess of ordinary brokerage commissions,
may be paid by the Selling Stockholders and/or the purchasers of the
shares of Common Stock offered hereby for whom such underwriters, dealers or
agents may act.  Any such dealers or agents that participate in the
distribution of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby may be deemed to
be "underwriters" as defined in the Securities Act, and any profit on the
sale of such shares of Common Stock offered hereby by them and any discounts,
commissions or concessions received by any such dealers or agents might be
deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from sales of the Common
Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders hereby will be the purchase price
of such Common Stock less any broker's commissions and underwriter's discounts.

     To the extent required by the Securities Act with respect to underwritten
offerings, the specific shares of Common Stock to be sold, the names of the
Selling Stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering
prices, the names of the underwriter or underwriters, and any applicable
commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth
in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

     The sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders may also
be effected from time to time by selling shares directly to purchasers or to
or through broker-dealers.  In connection with any such sales, any such
broker-dealer may act as agent for the Selling Stockholders or may purchase
from the Selling Stockholders all or a portion of such shares as principal.
Such sales may be made on NASDAQ or any exchange on which the shares of
Common Stock are then traded, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated
transactions or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices
related to the then-current market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated.
Shares may also be sold in one or more of the following transactions: 
(i) block transactions (which may involve crosses) in which a broker-dealer
may sell all or a portion of such shares as agent but may position and resell
all or a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
(ii) purchases by any such broker-dealer as principal and resale by such
broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement;
(iii) a special offering, an exchange distribution or a secondary distribution
in accordance with applicable NASDAQ rules; (iv) ordinary brokerage transactions
and transactions in which any such broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
(v) sales "at the market" to or through a market maker or into an existing
trading market, on an exchange or otherwise, for such shares; and
(vi) sales in other ways not involving market makers or established trading
