Zomato's train delivery service is simple and user-friendly. To place an order, travelers need to open the Zomato app and enter "train" in the search bar. From there, they select the "Meals at Train Seat" option.
Travelers are required to input their 10-digit PNR number, which will at that point permit them to select the station for nourishment conveyance. After that, customers can select a restaurant, add their desired items to the cart, and choose a payment option.
Swiggy Joins the Race with IRCTC Partnership
Zomato isn’t the only player in the train food delivery market. Swiggy, another major food delivery service, has also partnered with IRCTC. Earlier this year, Swiggy began delivering pre-ordered meals to passengers at selected railway stations, expanding its service reach as it gears up for an IPO.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), established in 1999 by the Government of India, operates under the Ministry of Railways. It plays a crucial role in facilitating food services on trains, and its partnerships with platforms like Zomato and Swiggy are set to enhance the travel experience for millions of passengers.
