Serve Robotics, a sidewalk-delivery company, partners with Grubhub to support expanded robot-based food delivery. Reports say Grubhub is adding Serve as a delivery partner through Grubhub’s parent company, Wonder, with Serve’s cooler-sized robots carrying takeaway orders placed on the Grubhub platform.
The move comes as Serve adjusts its partner roster and delivery volume. Quartz reports that Serve’s Grubhub deal follows an earlier situation in which its Uber Eats partnership is set to end, prompting efforts to replace lost volume. The Next Web similarly frames the agreement as part of Serve’s broader effort to connect its “robot layer” to major ordering services, positioning it to serve multiple platforms in the US.
Across outlets, the common points are the addition of Grubhub as a partner, the involvement of Wonder in the arrangement, and Serve’s continued expansion of robot deliveries while navigating changes to its existing Uber Eats relationship.
