Cafe Coffee Day, Pizza Hut and others to open eateries at railway stations

IRCTC in its effort to offer new delight to its passengers at stations, they are in talks with Cafe Coffee Day, Pizza Hut, Barista Coffee, Subway and Jumboking Vadapav, urging them to open eateries at railway stations. In doing so, IRCTC is trying to take its annual earnings to Rs 50 crore from the current Rs 30 crore. To begin with, Mapple Hotels has been selected to run the food plaza at Hardwar station. There are 106 other food plazas and fast food units that are at various stages of commissioning at places like Bhavnagar, Delhi Cantonment, Kanpur Central and others. And IRCTC will also add another 56 food kiosks at Delhi Metro stations across the capital. Such new and fresh move of the company will be an added business opportunity for the signage companies engaging in in-shop branding, displays, designs and other related activities.
