Founded in 2020 by Durgesh Tiwari, YatriRestro was established to address a common challenge faced by rail travelers, the difficulty of finding reliable and hygienic food during train journeys. The platform enables passengers to order meals online and receive them directly at their train seats, offering a convenient alternative to traditional onboard food options.
Currently, YatriRestro operates across more than 450 railway stations and serves passengers traveling on over 7,000 trains nationwide. The company has also built a network of more than 5,000 restaurant partners and reports being trusted by over one million monthly users.
The upcoming expansion will significantly increase its reach while allowing passengers to access a wider variety of regional cuisines and meal options across different parts of the country. From vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals to Jain food and group orders, the platform caters to diverse dietary preferences and travel requirements.
A key aspect of the company's growth strategy is the integration of advanced technology to simplify the food ordering experience. YatriRestro plans to strengthen its AI-based ordering systems and introduce voice-ordering capabilities in the future, making the service more accessible for travelers with varying levels of digital familiarity.
The initiative also aligns with the growing demand for safer and more transparent food delivery services within India's transportation sector. By partnering exclusively with FSSAI-approved restaurants and verified vendors, the company seeks to maintain high standards of food safety, quality and hygiene throughout its network.
Speaking about the company's vision, Durgesh Kumar Tiwary, Founder and CEO of YatriRestro, said, "We started YatriRestro with a clear vision to make sure train travelers do not need to compromise on food quality during their journey. We observed that many travelers faced challenges in accessing fresh and hygienic food during train journeys, which inspired us to create a more reliable food delivery solution, so we started this platform to help them access fresh and hygienic food anywhere in India while traveling by train.
We are also adding technology because in the last few years, we have seen how people are adopting tech rapidly, while also making it easy for people who are not tech-friendly. Through technology, strong restaurant partnerships and continuous expansion, we aim to make train travel more comfortable and enjoyable for millions of passengers."
Over the years, YatriRestro has focused on overcoming operational challenges associated with food delivery across a vast railway network. Building a strong vendor ecosystem, investing in technology and establishing local delivery partnerships have allowed the company to streamline operations while maintaining service consistency.
YatriRestro serves a broad customer base that includes families, working professionals, students, senior citizens and parents seeking healthier meal options for children during travel. By solving the challenge of unreliable food availability on trains, YatriRestro aims to contribute to a more comfortable and stress-free travel experience.
Looking ahead, the company plans to deepen its presence in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities while continuing to invest in technology and service expansion. With its target of reaching more than 800 stations by 2026, YatriRestro is positioning itself to play a larger role in transforming food accessibility for rail passengers across India.
