Zomato has expanded its train food delivery service to 100 railway stations across 88 cities in the country. Working in association with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), the online food delivery platform claims to have served 10 lakh orders in trains till date.
Passengers can open the Zomato app and search for keywords like train. Alternatively, customers at the station can also update their location in the Zomato app, post which they will be redirected to a banner for entering their PNR.
After feeding the PNR number, it automatically fetches the customer’s seat and train details. It enables delivery of food orders when the train is about to arrive at the station.
Customers also have the option of picking up their orders from assigned pickup points at the station.
