DoorDash and Serve Robotics Ink Multi-Year Pact for Autonomous Delivery Expansion
- DoorDash and Serve Robotics have entered a multi-year partnership to scale autonomous deliveries nationwide.
- Serve robots are already delivering DoorDash orders in Los Angeles, with more cities planned for rollout.
DoorDash and Serve Robotics have announced a strategic multi-year partnership to expand autonomous robot deliveries across the U.S. Serve robots are already delivering DoorDash orders in Los Angeles, with plans to expand the program to additional cities over time.
Serve Robotics brings a track record of more than 100,000 successful deliveries from over 2,500 restaurants in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas, Chicago, and Atlanta. The new agreement expands the volume of DoorDash orders Serve can fulfill, deepening its existing collaboration with DoorDash and setting the stage for a broader national rollout.
The collaboration supports DoorDash’s multi-modal logistics platform, which combines Dashers, drones, and robots to boost efficiency and lower emissions.
“At DoorDash, we’re building a multi-modal logistics platform where Dashers, autonomous robots, and drones each play a role in making deliveries faster, more efficient, and more sustainable,” said Harrison Shih, Head of Product for DoorDash Labs, in an official news release. “Partnering with Serve gives our platform even more delivery options, expanding how we fulfill orders for consumers and merchants alike.”
🌀 Tom’s Take:
With the Serve deal hot on the heels of its own robot debut, DoorDash is making it clear that multi-modal delivery is a core part of its go-forward strategy.
