DoorDash and Wing Launch Drone Delivery Pilot in Virginia

The pilot program offers a sustainable and efficient delivery option for Wendy's orders, building on the success of a similar initiative in Australia.

  • DoorDash and Alphabet's Wing have initiated a drone delivery pilot program in Christiansburg, Virginia, allowing select customers to order from Wendy's via drone.
  • The pilot builds on a successful partnership between DoorDash and Wing that began in Australia in 2022, demonstrating the potential for efficient and sustainable delivery options.
  • Customers eligible for drone delivery will see the option at checkout on the DoorDash app, with most orders arriving in 30 minutes or less.
  • The program aims to complement traditional delivery methods by providing a quicker, more sustainable way to deliver small orders over short distances.
  • DoorDash and Wing plan to explore expanding the drone delivery service to other U.S. cities later this year.
