A Bengaluru techie's social media post has a conversation about food delivery services and their reliability. Sunny Gupta, traveling by train from Mumbai to Pune, shared his experience of ordering food through Zomato while on board.

The playful revenge

Gupta noticed a prompt on the Zomato app allowing him to enter his Passenger Name Record (PNR) number. Intrigued by the possibility of in-train delivery, he placed an order. However, his excitement turned to amusement when he realized the train was running late, while Zomato's app displayed his food as "prepped and waiting at the station." Gupta shared the entire experience on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Gupta, in a playful jab at the occasional delivery delays experienced with Zomato, captioned his post, "The train is running delayed and Zomato says my food is prepped and waiting at the station. This is revenge for all the times they made me wait for my food."

“I tried it once and I believe it’s not the delivery partner who waits in the station, instead there is a common person in the station who collects and delivers all the orders in the seats.”
