Ever went to a restaurant with friends or family just to find that all tables are filled? Had to wait a long time in the restaurant before the food arrives? Or had to travel long distance without food in trains?
More than 76% of Indians prefer traveling by train. But most of the time they don't good food in trains. People can't get out at stations to order and then buy food as train stops are short.
Restaurants are packed during peak time which makes it difficult for people going in bigger groups to find seats.
