Be it solo or with a group, a travelling experience can always be great if the service and facilities of the transport system are good. When it comes to travelling by train, it brings a different joy. Travelling by Indian Railways provides you with an opportunity to admire scenic beauty without having to drive your car. If you are also a regular train passenger, then there is good news for you.
On October 20, EatSure, a leading food-tech platform, announced its partnership with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) to deliver meals to passengers on trains. This collaboration is going to enhance the food ordering experience of train passengers, and the food delivery platform will be available at around 100 railway stations, covering more than 75 cities.
EatSure’s newly released ‘order food on-train' service will allow passengers to have access to a lot of meal choices, and the smartphone app will deliver food from multiple restaurants to their seats while travelling. You can avail of the facility using your PNR number. All you have to do is place the meal orders in advance or even just an hour before arriving at the next station while travelling on the Indian Railway Network. This app will also have features like real-time order tracking, multi-brand ordering options, and customer service.
As mentioned earlier, this smooth and comfortable dining experience will be available in more than 75 cities, which include prominent locations like Hyderabad, New Delhi, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bangalore, Nasik, NCR, and Vizag. So far, the app has been able to provide a broad range of options from well-known brands like Behrouz Biryani, Faasos, Oven Story Pizza, Sweet Truth, LunchBox, and The Good Bowl.
Besides the regular foods, it will also feature a festive menu, sattvik meals, birthday cakes, and other customised meals for special occasions. The food delivery platform stated that the delivery boys will be given a valid pass issued by the IRCTC zonal authorities so that they can get into the trains with ease. This facility by IRCTC and EatSure is definitely going to make long journeys easier and better. So, what is going to be your first order on your next train journey?
