Grubhub will begin a three-month pilot program for drone delivery of takeout orders, starting March 18, in Green Brook, New Jersey, in collaboration with Dexa. Customers must be within 2.5 miles of Grubhub's restaurant and can order items under four pounds.

Deliveries will be tracked in real-time and are expected to be completed within 30 minutes of order placement. The drones, operated by Dexa, will fly at 400 feet and utilize a winch to lower the delivery box to the ground.

Dexa maintains an air traffic control team to monitor flights. This program aligns with Grubhub's strategy to explore automation in delivery methods.
