## Description
The university is seeking a coffee operator with strong local connections, capable of delivering exceptional service and a compelling offer within a fast-paced university environment. A well-priced offer of hot and cold beverages, sandwiches, pastries, and snacks, plays a vital role in supporting students on campus, particularly at a time when cost-of-living pressures are having a real impact on daily choices. 
The University has therefore taken a deliberate decision to remove the main financial barriers to entry for the operator. By covering fixed costs such as rent, rates, and utilities, and by fully equipping the coffee shop DMU is enabling a food business to trade successfully from day one with very limited capital investment required. The University expects to see this reflected in accessible pricing and menu choice which will result in strong participation during term time. 
The typical student demographic on the Leicester campus consists largely of commuter and first-generation students, with a strong sensitivity to price and value. Academic and a core group of professional service staff work on campus throughout the week, with some professional services staff adopting a hybrid approach, with a minimum of two days per week on campus.
