The HasGeek conference food court offers a wide variety of dishes for every palate and diet (link to the other article). Here’s how to make the most of it.

Meal selection

Each stall in the food court has its menu listed to make it easy for you to select your favorite. Menus are also listed in the HasGeek app to give you a preview. Please understand that sometimes the menus change at the last minute or food sells out.

Prices fall into these ranges:

Beverages: 25–150 Rs.
Snacks: 25–175 Rs.
Breakfast: 75–150 Rs.
Lunch: 125–320 Rs.

Payments in the food court

Cash is not accepted in the food court. Use Paytm or food tokens.

  1. Paytm: Avoid queues at the token counter by paying using the Paytm QR code that is available at all the food counters.
  2. Tokens: Use cash or card to buy tokens. The tokens come in denominations of 100, 50, and 25 Rs.

How many tokens should I purchase?

  • Pre packed bags worth Rs.500/- are fast and convenient. You can return unused tokens for a refund.
  • Purchase any amount from 25 Rs and up. Top up for an extra beverage, buy lunch for a friend, or grab some goodies to take home.

Are the prices higher than usual?

We expect our vendors to offer fair prices, but there are some extra factors that may make prices seem higher:

  • Quality, gourmet foods from well-known restaurants and caterers
  • Special ingredients for diets
  • Convenience of take-away packaging

Where should I sit?

We offer tables in the food court itself. You are welcome to use the roundtable area for dining, as well. If the weather is fine, you can sit outdoors.

Waste Management:

We ask you to separate your waste after meals. We have partnered with an external agency who handles segregation and disposal for us and we encourage all our food stall vendors to do their bit by using environment friendly products and minimal packaging whenever possible. We are conscious of the environment and are doing the best we can to ensure that the garbage is disposed of responsibly.
