Key Takeaways:

Grubhub is launching a three-month drone delivery pilot program in partnership with Dexa, offering New Jersey's first commercial drone food delivery service in Green Brook Township.
The service will use Dexa's DE-2020 drones to deliver orders from 15 Wonder dining concepts within a 2.5-mile radius without additional fees.
Grubhub's move into drone delivery aligns with a growing trend among major delivery platforms like DoorDash (with Wing/Flytrex) and Uber Eats (with Flytrex), as well as retailers like Walmart and Amazon, which are actively expanding similar services across the U.S.

DoorDash has Alphabet’s Wing. Uber Eats has Flytrex. And this week, Grubhub became the latest food delivery app to get in on the drone delivery trend.

The company on Wednesday revealed that next week it will launch a three-month drone delivery test program in partnership with Dexa, formerly known as Drone Express. The service will be available to customers within a 2.5-mile radius of Grubhub parent Wonder’s Green Brook Township, New Jersey, location. It would represent the state’s first commercial drone food delivery offering.
