In today’s digital age, ordering food online has become effortless. Apps like Zomato and Swiggy dominate the food delivery space in urban India. However, their services are mostly limited to fixed locations like homes or offices within city boundaries. The scenario changes entirely when someone is traveling by train. Here, RailRestro takes the lead, offering a unique, reliable, and effective way to order food in train directly at your seat.
Zomato is a trusted name for food delivery, but it isn't designed for train passengers. It relies on GPS location or fixed addresses to deliver food, which is impossible when you're moving at 100 km/h on a train. This limitation creates a major challenge for train travelers who want to enjoy a tasty and hygienic meal on their journey.
That’s where RailRestro steps in with a mission to transform the way India eats on trains. It provides an easy and seamless way to order food in train from a wide range of restaurants located near upcoming stations.
RailRestro is a specialized e-catering platform built exclusively for railway passengers. Unlike other food delivery apps, RailRestro is integrated with train schedules and PNR tracking, allowing passengers to pre-book meals that are delivered right to their seats.
Covers 450+ railway stations across India
Supports PNR-based food ordering
Offers regional dishes, thalis, Jain meals, and more
Real-time train tracking ensures timely delivery
Multiple payment modes including Cash on Delivery
Easy booking via app or website
RailRestro eliminates the stress of relying on station vendors or compromising with pantry food. With a few taps, passengers can enjoy restaurant-style meals while traveling.
When it comes to food delivery, Zomato works great for home or office deliveries in cities. But when you’re traveling by train, only RailRestro steps up with features designed specifically for railway passengers. Here’s how they compare:
RailRestro is exclusively built for train travelers, offering food delivery at railway stations across India.
Zomato is a general food delivery platform, ideal for city-based customers but not suitable for train passengers.
RailRestro delivers food directly to your train seat at more than 450+ railway stations.
Zomato only delivers to fixed addresses within city limits – no support for trains or stations.
RailRestro uses real-time train tracking to ensure food reaches you at the right station and time.
Zomato tracks riders using GPS in city streets, which doesn’t work with moving trains.
RailRestro allows you to order meals by simply entering your PNR number or train name/number.
Zomato requires a full delivery address, which isn’t feasible on a moving train.
RailRestro offers train-friendly meals like thalis, biryani, Jain food, combo packs, and regional dishes.
Zomato offers urban restaurant menus, which may not be suitable or deliverable during travel.
RailRestro supports both online payment and Cash on Delivery (COD) at your train seat.
Zomato also supports COD and online payments, but only for city-based orders.
Both RailRestro and Zomato have apps and websites, but only RailRestro supports train-specific features like station-based search and PNR order lookup.
If you're in a city, Zomato is perfect. But for a stress-free, tasty journey across Indian Railways, RailRestro is the clear winner. It’s reliable, easy to use, and delivers exactly what travelers need — delicious food in train, at the right time, to the right seat.
