The Food Industry over the last couple of years has witnessed a drastic change in its consumer buying behavior patterns. Modern consumers now seem busy embracing online food ordering options more over offline mode because of limitations.
Think of an earlier scenario on a train where you sitting on the train used to think what to order next among the list of items; Paneer Butter Masala, Butter Chicken, Paratha, Jeera Rice, Some Mixed Pickles, Gulab jamun, Bread Butter, Bread Omelets, Veg Cutlets, Frooti, and Chana Chur Garam. Did you feel something boring now too reading this earlier limited menu in your old train journeys? Moreover eating from Railway Platforms meant getting off from seat of moving train which was risky in fact not possible for women & children and hygiene has gone all for a toss.
Now, think about a current scenario where you are eating top flavors on a train cooked afresh after you placed an order just before delivery by top Chefs (of FSSAI Restaurants) at the same affordable price. Which option would you prefer to choose among these two in your busy daily schedule?!? The second one isn’t it?? And why not an Easy & Cost-effective idea means Smart Work for all of us today.

FSSAI Restaurants on wheels: Why to try the unguaranteed quality of food on train when you can conveniently order food at the same affordable price from nearby FSSAI restaurants and get food cooked by Top Chefs hygienically at the seat hot & fresh. Earlier the travelers buying food at Railways platforms were doubtful of reheated stale food with no surety on the quality of ingredients used in the recipe.
4. Refund Option Available: Earlier buying food in moving train meant you had no option and if ordered food does not meet your expectation it means your paid money has simply got wasted. Now, the scenario has changed. The customer buying food online in moving train if finds the food is under promised can book a complaint online to the same food service providers and food service providers ensures the complainant gets a refund in same bank account in the shortest possible time. Though, not at all possible to Travelers in earlier scenario on train.

But now when Customers have option to order from FSSAI accredited restaurants they may feel satisfied after eating as only those restaurants earn FSSAI accreditation that pass frequent food quality check audits done by government departments from time to time.
7. Nutrition on wheels: Earlier travelers had to compromise on nutrition in longer journeys as their home-cooked food would run only for 12 hrs and hence they had to rely on home-cooked snacks, food from platforms, and limited options on trains. Now, the travelers taking longer routes can order online any day from the nearest FSSAI restaurants at affordable prices where their food will get cooked afresh right before delivery and can be savored fresh. Hence no need to carry & survive on home-cooked fried snacks after your home-cooked food gets over.

Group Order Options: Whether the call is about feeding a big family or relatives; who will cook and carry from home when you can feed all of them afresh through online options at available coupons for discounts.
