Now, Order Meal in Train through Your Smart Phone

A journey without good food is incomplete. Even a small picnic with basket full of culinary delights becomes exciting. A long train journey absolutely demands good food…and on time.

For a large chunk of the Indian population, train is an important mode of transportation. They spend hours daily in trains. If you add the number of hours spent in train, it could sum up to several years in a lifetime!

 Not everybody traveling in a train is a leisure tourist. Many are on their daily jobs. Some might be traveling for a specific purpose – sad or happy. Each passenger harbors a different mindset and emotional state of mind while on a train. A good meal in a train can satisfy all mindsets and emotions. It leaves behind the feeling of fulfillment.

The food business

Some of you might be wondering why there is such a fuss about meals in trains. It is just a journey that will end after some time. Well, the journey is as important as the destination. It is the journey that accumulates memories, forms impressions, renders experiences, and, at times, teaches you lessons of life.

So, food is a crucial business in trains and the railway officials should mind it well. With e-catering in place, it seems they are doing it well, as the response of this initiative is overwhelmingly positive.

Surat also has a holy connect. According to Mahabharat – the great Hindu epic – Lord Krishna had spent a few days at this place while traveling from Dwarka to Mathura. Little wonder that this beautiful and industrious city ensures its train travelers get good food during their journey too.

Neatly wrapped delicacies

One of the noteworthy features of vendors involved in e-catering service is that they provide food packed in hygienic, neat containers. The use of plastic is discouraged as far as possible. The food is cooked fresh and reaches passengers piping hot.

You must order your meal train two hours in advance of reaching the particular station so that vendors get enough time to prepare meal properly and deliver it hassle-free to your seat. The vendors deal with hundreds of orders every hour so they need time to sort out orders and get them ready on time and in the best manner possible.
