New Delhi: Train passengers can now have KFC meals on board. The fast food chain has tied up with the IRCTC to start a delivery system on board. A passenger can order his meal while booking the ticket through IRCTC. This
facility has come into efect frm July 20, 2015.
However, at present this facility is available on 12 trains passing through New Delhi railway station only. This is now being extended to Vishakhapatnam,
Hyderabad (Kacheguda) and Bangalore (Yeshwantpur) stations, a KFC statement said.
“Consumers will have to visit the IRCTC website or call on 18001034139 (Toll Free) to place their order. A password will then be sent by KFC to the consumer’s
mobile phone which will have to be mentioned at the time of delivery,” it said. The service will initially be limited to trains which do not have pantry cars. It wil
soon be expanded to trains like Rajdhani and Duronto.
“As a much-loved restaurant brand, we think that this initiative gives us a great opportunity to bring the craveable taste and quality of KFC to our fans, even
when they are travelling. We intend to expand the service to other stations over the next few days,” KFC India Chief Marketing Officer Dhruv Kaul said.
KFC Corporation is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands and has 19,400 outlets in 120 countries.
