Points to be kept in mind while ordering food in train

In today’s world, engineers, scientists, businessmen, etc. all are focusing on developing things that provide more and more human comfort. All the industries, whether it is clothing, accessories or technology, are focusing on providing their customers with the best level of comfort at the cheapest prices. People nowadays just want everything available at their doorsteps, without any compromise in the quality. This has been possible with the help of food delivery apps. However, people were not able to avail of the facility of getting food of their choice while traveling in trains as there are certain limited products only which can be prepared in the pantry of the train.

Also, some people were worried about the hygiene of the food being prepared in the trains due to the excessive exposure to dust due to constantly moving trains. This led to the requirement for food delivery in trains as well. This would be able to solve both the problems. People would be able to get packed food from the restaurants of their choice, on which they would be able to rely upon, in terms of hygiene. Secondly, they will be able to order dishes of their choice. 

While ordering food in trains, certain important points must be kept in mind:

1.     Before ordering food, one must see the distance of the restaurant from the station where it is to be delivered. The restaurant must not be too far from the stop where it is to be delivered so that the food is delivered easily and the person delivering it does not get stuck in traffic jams on his way.

2.     One should carefully estimate the time which will be taken for the train to reach the station where the food is to be delivered and then see if the restaurant delivering it will be able to deliver it there within that time or not. 

The main three considerations should be:

• The distance of the restaurant from the station.
• The time which will be required to prepare the food being ordered (a rough estimate).
• An additional time to cover delays or gaps due to extra time which might be consumed in cooking or while delivering the food due to traffic jams or any other reason.

1.     One should start selecting the dishes which they want to order at least 15 to 20 minutes before the estimated time so that the time which will be spent during selecting the food and monetary transactions does not consume the time calculated for food preparation and delivery.

2.     If you are not aware of the quality or taste of food which you will get from various restaurants of a particular city, prefer ordering food from outlets of some famous food chains.

Apart from all these points, one must practically calculate the feasibility of the situation and then order the food. As it is difficult to manage food items on a moving train, try to order food items which are drier. Also, in case you are to be on the train for a longer duration, try to order items that can be consumed after a few hours also without getting spoiled.
