According to a report in The Times of India, the civic body has already experimented with this self-ordering kiosk at an Indira Canteen in the RR Nagar branch and it turned out to be highly effective. The kiosk is installed with a facial recognition system which will help the BBMP to maintain the records of customers.

“Once the elections are finalised, we will install these self-ordering kiosks across Bengaluru’s Indira canteens. These are highly productive, and they make ordering food easy,” a top BBMP official was quoted as saying.

The report further said that there has been a dip in the footfall of customers at Indira Canteens, which provide affordable food. Many of these state-run canteens were revamped after Congress formed the government in the 2023 assembly elections.

Recently, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah launched an Indira Canteen at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport. The airport does not have a food stall that provides affordable food. The canteen was launched especially for cab drivers and other workers who often travel to the airport to drop off and pick up passengers.
