Frequently Asked Questions

Know answers to all frequently asked questions on online food ordering in trains here. We have tried to cover questions right from order booking to deliveries at Railway Stations. If you still have any other query, then please write to us at care@Homebytesindia.com.

Customers can log on to Homebytes Website for Railway food booking or download our mobile app from Google playstore at Google Play Store, enter your journey details, and our automated systems will list all the options for you. You may also call us at 8010802222 or IRCTC call center number 1323, where our team members will be happy to assist you. The same process is also followed in booking group or bulk orders in trains or food orders in non-pantry car trains.

The steps involved in online food booking are as follows: -

1. Enter your 10-digit PNR number or Train Name or number or desired station,

2. Pick restaurant from the list displayed for each station available,

3. Create your order from the chosen restaurant’s menu displayed,

4. You can pay upfront online or cash on delivery in train,

5. Order would be delivered at your berth / seat when train reaches at selected station of your journey.

At the successful booking of every order, an order ID is generated which is sent to your registered mobile number through an SMS. All registered customers are also sent an email for the same.

Food is delivered by the quality restaurants Homebytes has tied up with across India. For example – If your food is booked to be delivered at Bhopal, then the restaurant at Bhopal in our network will deliver that order to you, right at your seat. However, at some stations delivery boys appointed by IRCTC and Homebytes deliver the order. All the delivery boys carry a valid ID card issued by IRCTC post background checks of the delivery boys.

Just in case you are too excited to get your food, we advise all our customers to be still seated at their seat / berth only and not move out anywhere. Moreover, we feel it’s convenient too.

Indian Railways have improved a lot, and are normally running on time, but in case of an unfortunate situation of a delay, we would pre-pone your order to a station before (post your approval). This will try and ensure that even if the train is running late, your order is delivered to you around the expected delivery time only.

Nothings permanent in this world, and we completely understand that our customers can also feel like changing their journey plans or may get tempted to order something different. We allow our customers to cancel or change their 2 hours before the previously decided delivery time or 8pm on any working day, whichever is earlier. We advise you to please refer to our cancellation policy for details.

Users can pay conveniently through payment gateways integrated online.

We hope not coming across such situations given the commitment towards our job shown by our team and vendors, but still if such unfortunate situation occurs, then we would try and deliver the same at the next available station.

In such a scenario we would refund the money taken from the customer and promise to deliver a free order of the equivalent amount when the next time you allow us to help you serve. We advise you to please read the all the points of our ‘terms and conditions’ of our website for more details and better understanding.
