The Rise of Robotic Food Delivery

Globally, the demand for contactless delivery and labor-saving solutions has surged. According to a report by The Verge and TechCrunch , companies like DoorDash and Uber Eats are investing heavily in autonomous sidewalk robots and delivery drones to solve last-mile logistics. These similar technologies are now available to individual restaurants for indoor deliveries, allowing them to reduce reliance on staff and reclaim ownership of their indoor delivery operations.
