DoorDash Taps Serve Robotics for Sidewalk Deliveries, Starting in Los Angeles

The deal plugs Serve into DoorDash’s multi‑modal network to expand order volume.

Overview

  • DoorDash and Serve announced a multi-year partnership to integrate Serve’s autonomous sidewalk robots into DoorDash deliveries.
  • Robots will begin handling select orders from participating merchants in Los Angeles, with plans to expand across the United States.
  • Serve says it has completed over 100,000 deliveries from more than 2,500 restaurants in cities including Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and Atlanta through Uber Eats.
  • DoorDash positions the partnership within a broader strategy that routes orders among Dashers, partner robots and Wing drones, following the recent unveiling of its in‑house Dot robot.
  • Serve reports multi-year contracts that include a signed agreement to deploy up to 2,000 robots, and its CEO says the DoorDash tie-up opens DoorDash-dominant markets and should support revenue growth as deployment scales.
