Kacheguda rail travellers can now order from KFC

Fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has joined hands with Indian Railways to provide food to passengers travelling on trains. The service is currently available on trains originating from Kacheguda. Consumers can order for a KFC meal, while planning their travel on the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) official site www.irctc.co.in.

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. The first order was served to HV Krishna Reddy who was travelling from Kacheguda to Tadipatri. KFC India spokesperson said “We believe that partnership with IRCTC is a huge opportunity that will allow us to expand our horizons and reach out to millions of consumers while they are crisscrossing the country.

The service was started last month when we delivered our first order to passengers travelling from New Delhi. We are excited to launch our services to passengers from Kacheguda.” The service will be expanded to Visakhapatnam and Bangalore (Yeshwantpur) stations over the next 10 days. The service, for now is limited to trains which lack pantry cars and will subsequently be expanded to trains like Rajdhani and Duronto.
