The partnership will see the roll out of at least 14 Tortilla restaurants across Chartwells’ estate over the next five years.
Tortilla’s highly customisable, affordable offer is already available at Middlesex University, Brunel University, Sussex University and Swansea University, with further openings planned this year. Customers will be able to order to stay or takeaway and in some locations skip the queue by utilising Tortilla’s pre-order kiosks. They also have the option to order via Chartwells Universities’ market-leading ‘Uni Food Hub’ app for collection or delivery around campus.
The partnership demonstrates Chartwells Universities’ innovative approach to evolving its offer to meet the ever-changing demands of students, as well as Tortilla’s appetite for continuing the expansion of its business beyond the high-street. In recent months, Tortilla has launched new sites and formats, opening sites at Gatwick Airport and Leeds Skelton Lakes Services in partnership with SSP Group plc.
Kerry Ford, Managing Director, Chartwells Universities said: “This agreement marks a milestone in the implementation of our market-leading new proposition for university catering and demonstrates our commitment to evolving our operating model and meeting the ever-changing demands of our students.”
