Cheatah delivers a range of fresh dough pizzas, sides, dips, desserts and drinks direct to campus halls, as well as offering a collection service at Portsmouth Naval Base.
It began its trial at the University of Roehampton in September during ‘Freshers’ Week’. Over 5,000 pizzas have been sold since its launch with 85% of students scoring their experience as excellent. 79% of students would recommend it to a friend and 72% believed Cheatah pizza was good value for money.
At HMNB Portsmouth, evening sales have doubled since Cheatah’s launch.
Matthew Joblin, offer development manager at Elior, said: “We created Cheatah, so our customers could enjoy freshly cooked, high quality and affordable meals on demand.
“Working with chefs and nutritionists, we developed a menu focusing on best seller combinations from the high street. In fact, our range rivals mainstream vendors on value for money, averaging at just £10 spend per head. What’s more, the popular service has contributed to student employment levels, proving a cost-effective endeavour all round.”
Jerry Woods, director of estates and facilities at University of Roehampton, said: “I am delighted that Elior is always looking for opportunities to develop its offer to students and staff.
“Cheatah is one example of how it's looking to meet the needs of students at the University to ensure that there are additional food offers on campus during the evening, coupled with the fact that it's offering a delivery service to students in halls, which provides a complementary service to that offered by the high street.”
