A bunch (most) of the food outlets at my university have closed over the summer "because of VSU". But the awesome coffee stand is still open. I asked them about it and they said they had a couple fewer people working, and closed a bit earlier. Perhaps they're a good model for food outlets as well. You could have a falafel stand or a hotdog stand. You don't need a whole building to serve food, and there are enough places to sit down and eat takeaways.

Maybe the university needs fewer food outlets, but better scalability for the ones that remain. I think it's a little silly that all this time the busy periods have been subsidising the quiet periods so much. Were they keeping them open to boost the sense of community during the summer? If there aren't enough of us to keep the stores open, I think they should just close them - with or without VSU. If we have to walk up to Randwick that is fine. The food is better up there anyway.

Probably if the food here was normally really yummy, and I wasn't able to eat it during the holidays, I'd be really annoyed. You can be much more economically ruthless when your tummy isn't involved.
