Post-pandemic, railways passengers are more concerned about hygienic, safe food: Manish Chandra, RailRestro

Earlier, availability of hygienic and safe food on running trains looked like a distant dream. But thanks to technology and a wave of start-ups, food delivery on trains has become a reality. RailRestro which is an online food Delivery Company claims it has already served 6 million customers. RailRestro was started in September 2015 when co-founders and couple Manish Chandra and Suman Priya struggled to get quality meals during train journeys and decided to transform their passion for travelling and healthy eating into a successful business with the help of technology. In a conversation with Financial Express.com, Manish Chandra shares the journey of the company, vision and future plans. Excerpts:

What has been the impact of Covid on business?
Due to the Covid-19 Outbreak, all the trains got suspended and our services suffered a lot. Orders per day declined simultaneously. Our sales have decreased to approx. 50%, because people are also avoiding travel unless it’s very urgent.
