How to Use Ticket PNR Number to Order Food on Train?

 


We get a PNR number when we book tickets for the Indian Railways journey. This PNR is a 10-digit unique ticket number. It helps the railway passengers in several ways. You can find this unique number on the upper left corner of the Indian Railways i-ticket and the upper middle of the Indian Railways e-ticket.


Using this PNR number, you can order food on train, set destination alert alarms, know your seat confirmation status, get journey details, and many more. However, you can do this efficiently when your ticket PNR status is CNF (Confirm) or RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation). 


What is the PNR Number? 


PNR is an abbreviation of Passenger Name Record. It gets generated exclusively for each train ticket, consisting of passenger name, sex, age, journey date, train boarding time, train origin station, terminating point, deboarding train station, etc. Passengers need to check PNR status before boarding the train as it tells passengers if the ticket is confirmed, waitlisted, or RAC. 


How does PNR Help in Order Food in Train?


When the passenger puts a PNR number in a food delivery app or website for ordering food, the advanced technology of these apps fetches the information of passengers, their train route, upcoming stations, and restaurants that deliver food on that train. This information lets users conveniently choose their favorite food and place an order. 


The same PNR number helps the vendor and food delivery person get passenger's details such as seat/berth number, coach number, ticket status, etc. This information aids the delivery person in delivering food in train hassle-free.
