Grubhub will test drone delivery of takeout orders for the first time, marking the latest effort from the company to experiment with automation technologies.
The limited three-month pilot program, announced Wednesday in a joint statement with drone delivery company Dexa, includes several caveats. Customers must be located within 2.5 miles of Grubhub parent Wonder Group Inc.’s restaurant location in suburban Green Brook, New Jersey. Items must also weigh under four pounds. After placing an order through the Grubhub app, users will see real-time GPS tracking, estimated arrival notifications and order confirmations.
