Patna (Bihar) [India], May 15: YatriRestro, an IRCTC-authorized e-catering platform, has announced plans to expand its services to 800 railway stations by 2026, strengthening its mission to deliver hygienic, restaurant-quality meals to train passengers across India. With a strong focus on improving the train journey experience, the company is addressing one of the most persistent concerns among travelers, access to safe and reliable food on trains.
Earlier, train passengers often had to rely on pantry food or uncertain station vendors, raising concerns around hygiene, limited choices, and inconsistent quality. Finding clean and trustworthy meals during a train journey was often a challenge, especially for families, elderly passengers, and those traveling long distances. Many travelers preferred carrying homemade food to avoid these uncertainties, which came with its own limitations, such as spoilage and inconvenience.
YatriRestro is changing this narrative by enabling passengers to order fresh meals from FSSAI-certified restaurants and have them delivered directly to their seats. With this service, passengers no longer need to carry tiffin or worry about food availability during their journey. The platform ensures that ordering food on the train is simple, reliable, and stress-free.
Founded in 2020, YatriRestro has rapidly built a strong presence across the Indian railway network. Today, it connects passengers with over 5000 verified restaurant partners, covering more than 450 railway stations and serving over 7000 trains. Trusted by more than 1 million users every month, the platform delivers thousands of meals daily while maintaining consistent service standards.
One of the key strengths of YatriRestro lies in its convenience-driven approach. Passengers can order food in the train using their PNR number, ensuring accurate delivery at the right station and time. The platform eliminates the hassle of stepping out during short halts, searching for vendors, or standing in queues. With features such as real-time order tracking, zero delivery charges, and easy ordering through WhatsApp, the experience is designed to be seamless and user-friendly.
The company’s expansion is backed by continuous investment in technology and logistics. From AI-powered ordering systems to improved last-mile delivery coordination, YatriRestro is strengthening its infrastructure to meet growing demand. At the same time, it continues to onboard local and regional food vendors, enabling passengers to enjoy a wide variety of cuisines, including vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and Jain food options.
Durgesh Tiwari, Founder and CEO of YatriRestro, said, “We started YatriRestro with a clear goal to ensure that no train traveler has to compromise on food quality. Our focus has always been on delivering safe, hygienic, and freshly prepared meals that passengers can trust, no matter where they are traveling.”
Beyond convenience, the platform also plays a larger role in supporting local businesses. By partnering with regional restaurants and food providers, YatriRestro contributes to employment generation and helps small vendors reach a wider customer base. This approach not only enhances food diversity for passengers but also strengthens the local food ecosystem.
The initiative aligns closely with the company’s long-term vision of making quality food accessible to every train passenger in India. With Indian Railways serving over 23 million passengers daily, the demand for safe and reliable food solutions continues to grow. YatriRestro’s technology-driven and customer-first model positions it as a key enabler in transforming train travel into a more comfortable and enjoyable experience.
Looking ahead, the company plans to further enhance its digital capabilities with innovations such as AI-based voice ordering and deeper penetration into tier 2 and tier 3 markets. The goal is to ensure that passengers across all routes and regions can access high-quality food without compromise.
By combining technology, trust, and a strong service network, YatriRestro is not just delivering meals but making train journeys more comfortable and stress-free for millions of travelers.
