Drone Delivery is About to Get a Big Upgrade. Here’s Why Part 108 Will Change Food Delivery Forever

For those of you who are skeptical about whether drone delivery will ever become a common way to deliver your pizza or groceries, I’m there with you. Several key factors need to be in place to ensure drones can deliver items quickly, at low cost, and, perhaps most of all, safely.

One of the key hurdles to ensuring all of those things become a reality happened last week with the release of Draft Part 108 for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) by the FAA. Part 107, introduced in 2016, set the baseline rules for small commercial drone operations, allowing flights within visual line of sight under a certified remote pilot but leaving BVLOS missions dependent on case-by-case FAA waivers.

The new proposed rule brings with it a framework for BVLOS operations that replaces ad hoc approvals with standardized pathways. For industries like food delivery, the new rules could be the regulatory green light that turns pilot projects into citywide services.

Individuals to Organizations: One of the biggest changes from Part 107, which put the burden on individual pilots (requiring each to be certified and limiting most flights to visual line of sight), is that Part 108 shifts accountability to the operating company rather than every drone pilot. This change acknowledges that modern drone delivery (especially BVLOS), relies on automated systems, centralized oversight, and coordinated fleets, not one pilot per aircraft.

Permits vs Certificates: Operators will choose between two regulatory paths designed to match the scale and complexity of their operations. Permits will work for lower-risk, smaller-scale flights in less densely populated areas and come with a cap on the number of drones (such as a limit of 100 for delivery services). Certificates are geared for high-density, high-volume operations in urban environments, and will remove fleet caps in exchange for stricter oversight, safety requirements, and operational protocols.

Operations will be governed by five population density tiers, from rural (Category 1) to major metro cores (Category 5). Permits only allow access to Categories 1–3; Certificates are required for Categories 4–5. For food delivery, that means suburban and exurban rollouts first, with dense city markets requiring the more stringent certificate process.

A New Player: ADSPs. One of Part 108’s biggest changes is the creation of Automated Data Service Providers which are companies responsible for real-time airspace data. This data includes:

  • Drone traffic and location tracking.
  • Weather integration.
  • “Strategic deconfliction” to prevent midair conflicts.
  • “Conformance monitoring” to ensure drones follow approved routes.

Operators must connect to an ADSP, but they can also become their own ADSP if they meet the technical requirements.

There are a bunch of other changes – I recommend you check out this great writeup by Matt Sloane. For drone food delivrey, it will bring big changes, helping to take drone delvery from what is essentially a novelty service today to a scalable service.

The primary bottleneck has been regulatory: BVLOS flights, essential for covering enough ground to make delivery viable, were locked behind an unpredictable and time-consuming waiver process under Part 107. Part 108 changes all that. By creating clear, scalable pathways (permits for smaller suburban rollouts, certificates for full-scale urban operations), the FAA is giving food delivery companies a roadmap to expand without reapplying for exemptions every time they add new routes or drones. The introduction of Automated Data Service Providers means operators will have access to the real-time airspace management needed to safely run dozens or even hundreds of flights at once.

Add in the push toward autonomy, standardization of safety measures, and population tiering, and Part 108 looks less like the regulatory green light that could take drone food delivery from novelty to serious delivery option.

As Robot Delivery Grows, Buildings May Have “USB Ports” to Enable Seamless Delivery Handoff

With this week’s news that Little Caesars pizza is partnering with Serve to deliver pizza, it’s clear that robotic delivery, whether on sidewalks, underground, or in the air, is fast becoming more mainstream.

Despite many of these startups working on technology for close to a decade, the robot food delivery process still has a cumbersome part: picking up the food at the restaurant or handing over to the customer in their home or apartment.

The main reason is that most restaurants and homes were not built for robotic delivery. Sidewalk delivery robots and drones can’t open doors or use elevators, requiring customers to visit designated pickup spots or follow instructions to collect food at the curb.

This might change in the future, according to Garrett McCurrach, CEO of Pipedream Labs. McCurrach believes that in the future, buildings will adapt to robotic delivery. “A lot of buildings in the future are going to have what is essentially like a USB port for accepting and handing off to different modalities,” said McCurrach at SKS 2025.

According to McCurrach, the goal on the restaurant and ghost kitchen side is to solve the coordination challenges of last-yard logistics, especially in environments where speed and efficiency matter most. “Being able to get things out quickly into the right modality, whatever the modality is, is going to be super important,” he said.

Will Buildings Have 'USB Ports' for Robot Delivery in the Future? This Founder Thinks So.

While drone landing pads and delivery hubs have already been deployed in the early stages of the drone delivery market, some are exploring how drones could deliver vertically within a building itself. A group of researchers at the University of Tokyo looked at potential scenarios of drone delivery in high-rises, essentially through what is a “USB port” at the top of the building.

Looking further into the delivery future, another potential big challenge is enabling multi-model (or multi-robot) delivery. Sure, delivering via a drone might make sense to some places, but a more realistic option might be drone to sidewalk robot or, eventually, a humanoid.

For McCurrach and Pipedream, he’s had to think about handoffs to other automated forms of delivery since the beginning, in large part because his delivery system – which consists of an underground delivery with specialized delivery robots – almost by definition will not reach the end-users home or work since the company’s network only delivers to drop-off points in building lobbies or other specialized locations.

“We build the underground networks to move things quickly to get to that end node. And then portals that hand off to a self-driven car, a Coco robot, a Zipline drone, whatever the right modality is to get it to its end destination,” said McCurrach.

But, if early USB technology is any example, over time, universal connections via coordination across ecosystems become more prevalent, as both physical infrastructure and robot-to-robot coordination increase, I expect the arrival of multi-modal robot delivery to be set to arrive at our doorstep sometime in the next decade.


Drone Delivery Operator Flytrex Receives FAA Go Ahead to Fly Without Visual Observers

Drone delivery startup Flytrex and its partner Causey Aviation Unmanned (CAU) announced today they have been granted an exemption by the FAA to operate drones ‘Beyond Visual Line of Sight’ (BVLOS) without the requirement of visual observers.

The newly acquired authorization enables both companies to scale their delivery services across American suburbs as the waver permits their drones to fly longer distances beyond a pilot’s visual line of site.

According to Flytrex, BVLOS approval is one of the most advanced regulatory approvals to date and paves the way for the scaling of CAU and Flytrex’s delivery operations, contingent upon meeting certain conditions and limitations.

Automatic Drone Pickup | Flytrex

The news comes on the heels of the company’s unveiling of its autonomous pickup feature, which enables Flytrex to automate food delivery via drone fully. With the new capability, a Flytrex drone flies to the restaurant, picks up the food for delivery, and takes the order to the customer’s home.

Flytrex drones, which can carry up to 5.5 pounds of food, fly up to speeds of 32 miles per hour. And while the drones can handle each mission entirely autonomously, the company says that they still have FAA-certified drone operators overseinge each mission.

The BVLOS approval comes after CAU, the operator for Flytrex, received Part 135 certification in January, essentially giving the the company the official go ahead to deliver food, beverages, and other goods across the country.

Hostel Pizzas to Stadium Slices: The Remarkable Growth of MOTO’s Robot-Powered Artisanal Pizza

For most of the past couple of decades, Lee Kindell ran a backpackers hostel and boutique hotel in Seattle where he made pizza for travelers as a way to make them feel welcome and share stories over a good meal.

The pizza was so good that guests often told Kindell he should open his own restaurant. He thought it sounded like a good long-term plan but something he might do after he retired from the hotel business.

But then COVID hit.

“We lost our business, and I said, ‘You know, that retirement plan of making pizzas, we’re going to do it now.'”

Fast forward to today, and Kindell is running one of Seattle’s (and America’s) hottest restaurant concepts. In just two years, MOTO Pizza has expanded from one temporary location to three permanent ones with more on the way and a spot inside T-Mobile stadium where Kindell’s team serves up pizzas to hungry Mariner fans during every home game.

A Visit With Moto Pizza, One of America's Hottest New Restaurants.

If you want to get your hands on one of MOTO’s craft pizzas, you must arrive early (in other words, just after opening or, in the case of T-Mobile, the first couple of innings) and have a little luck. If you’re okay with waiting, you can add your name to the month-long waiting list MOTO announces on its website and socials every few weeks.

When asked if the waiting list is some marketing gimmick, Kindell says it was out of necessity.

“When we first opened, we had a four-hour wait,” Kindell told me. “Now we’ll do 250 pizzas a night at one location, and it’s all timed.”

MOTO’s POS system enables the scheduling of pizzas, but it’s far from the only use of technology Kindell has embraced as he’s looked for ways to scale his business.

“When I hurt my arm, I had to stop making dough by hand and use a mixer,” Kindell said. “When I started using a mixer, I realized the delta between making dough by hand and machine wasn’t that far apart.”

Kindell started looking for other ways to leverage technology. It wasn’t long before he heard of another Seattle company, Picnic, which makes pizza robots. Now, he uses the Picnic robot to add cheese, sauce, and toppings to hundreds of pizzas daily and is looking for more technology.

“Now, I’ve been reaching out to everybody, drone delivery, sidewalk delivery robots. Everything I can think of.”

According to Kindell, his use of technology has enabled his pizza to get into the hands of more customers. He’s also re-shaped his processes and pizza formats, when necessary, to reach more customers. For T-Mobile Park, where MOTO serves up a thousand pizzas or more per night, Kindell and his team created a new single-serve pizza size that fits in hand like a mobile phone.

“Think about how comfortable that phone is in your hand,” Kindell said, holding his phone. “I wanted a slice to be that comfortable in your hand.”

While much of Kindell’s early success is due to hard work and his embrace of new technology, he’d also be the first to tell you some of it – especially MOTO’s presence at a major league ballpark – has to do with luck.

When Kindell saw a couple of guys eating his pizza in the front yard in West Seattle, he asked how they liked it. After they told him it could survive in New York, he asked what they were doing out here, and they said they worked for the Seattle Mariners.

“I asked one of them, ‘How do I get into the stadium? Who do I talk to?’. He said, ‘me.'”

The long lines and fast growth have drawn lots of attention to MOTO, including from investors. But, while investors “are knocking down the door,” Kindell said he is not in any hurry as he figures out a way to use technology to optimize his processes even further to take his concept nationwide.

“I just want to be one step ahead with everything that I’m doing because when the time comes, I’m going to have my systems in place and ready to go so I can do it in stadiums all over. I can do it in the grocery store. And in urban and suburban spaces.”

Hopefully, by then, there won’t be a wait.

French Fries & Bananas Top The List of Popular Drone-Delivered Items

So what items flew off the shelves last year when it came to drone delivery?

According to Flytrex, a company specializing in backyard drone delivery, the most popular item ordered off restaurant menus last year was french fries, followed by turkey sandwiches, burrito bowls, Italian sandwiches, and pizza, according to a report published by the company summarizing its 2022 delivery activity.

On the grocery side, Flytrex says the top banana was, well, bananas, followed by sports drinks, milk, chocolate, and eggs.

Both lists of high-flying products jibe with the category breakouts detailed in the report. On the restaurant side, sandwiches & salads was the top overall category, followed by chicken & wings, Mexican food, and burgers.

On the grocery side, the top category was fresh produce (like bananas), followed by dairy & eggs, pantry items, and sweets & snacks.

Some other interesting tidbits from the Flytrex report:

  • The average time from takeoff to delivery was 3:32 minutes.
  • The fastest time from order to delivery was 12:13 minutes.
  • The largest order Flytrex delivered last year was a comfort food special: 3 Tomato Soups and 1 Noodle Soup, 2 Cobb salads with Chicken, 2 BLTs, and 2 (and 1/2) Cheese Sandwiches.

It should be noted that these statistics are from Flytrex’s drone delivery service in the North Carolina and Texas markets, so they might differ slightly if extrapolated to, say, Seattle, where salmon chowder and sushi might show up, or New York City, where bagels would likely make an appearance. Overall, though, it’s an interesting look into ordering patterns for those markets that have greenlighted drone delivery.

Flytrex & CAU Plot Nationwide Roll Out Drone Food Delivery After Getting FAA Approval

Drone delivery startup Flytrex and partner Causey Aviation Unmanned (CAU), announced today they had received Standard Part 135 Air Carrier Certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) according to an announcement sent to The Spoon. According to the FAA, Part 135 “certification is the only path for small drones to carry the property of another for compensation beyond visual line of sight.”

With this notch in its belt, Causey and Flytex become just the fifth group to receive Part 135 certification, joining Amazon/Prime Air, Google/Wing, UPS, and Zipline. According to the company, this certification will allow Flytrex to complete long-range commercial drone deliveries across the U.S. and expand its delivery service to all eligible back and front yards nationwide.

“We live in an era of instant gratification, where consumers want to get their food or goods faster, more reliably, more economically and more sustainably – and drone delivery has risen to the occasion,” said Yariv Bash, Flytrex CEO. “Flytrex’s continued success delivering to customers throughout North Carolina and Texas has put us ahead of the curve. With this certification, we look forward to bringing our super swift, sustainable and safe airborne delivery systems to every backyard across the U.S.”

Flytrex and CAU currently have five operational delivery stations in North Carolina and one in Texas, delivering tens of thousands of items to hundreds of thousands of homes. Flytrex says it has worked closely with regulators, including participating in the FAA’s UAS Integration Pilot Program and BEYOND initiative, to ensure the highest safety standards for drone delivery.

In case you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to order food delivery via a Flytrex drone, it’s a somewhat involved process that factors in a safety and viability analysis of each customer’s backyard. First, the company analyzes available space in a given backyard, whether there are power lines, and once a safety review is passed, the address is added to the Flytrex flight network.

Wing to Hit 100,000th Drone Delivery

Wing, the drone delivery spin-off from Google X, announced yesterday that it will pass 100,000 customer deliveries “in the next few days.” The milestone is another stepping stone for the nascent drone delivery sector, as it inches closer to more widespread adoption around the globe.

In its announcement, Wing said that 50,000 of those deliveries were to customers in Logan, Australia over the last eight months. Wing added that it made almost 4,500 deliveries in the first week of August, which translated into a Logan resident received a drone delivery approximately every 30 seconds during Wing’s service hours. Wing also shared that over the past year its drones have dropped off more than 10,000 cups of coffee, 1,700 snack packs, and 1,200 “hot chooks” (what Australians call roasted chicken).

Drones are actually a pretty good technology for food delivery, and have the potential to radically alter the delivery landscape. Drones are fast, arriving at their destination in minutes so hot food stays hot. They can reduce traffic on the road by replacing full-sized cars making deliveries. And in the age of COVID, they can provide contactless delivery.

We’ve already seen startups like Manna make thousands of deliveries in Galway, Ireland. Here in the U.S., Kroger started piloting its first drone delivery in Ohio, and Walmart has partnered with Flytrex for drone deliveries and invested in on-demand drone delivery startup DroneUp.

Despite all these advances, there are still plenty of regulatory hurdles for drone deliveries to overcome before they can truly scale on a global basis. Drones need flight paths cleared, specific safety measures installed, and citizens need reassurances that they aren’t being spied upon (the CEO of Manna told me that this is a top concern for people).

Those concerns, however are steadily being worked out and as Wing and other companies are showing, drone delivery going mainstream is not that far off.

Valqari Launching Single-Family Drone Mailboxes Later this Year, Targeting $1,500 Price Point

Valqari is looking to launch a retail, single-family version of its drone delivery smart locker later this year, and is working to get the cost of it below $1,500. Valqari Co-Founder and CEO Ryan Walsh laid out the company’s plans during his presentation on StartEngine Shark Pitch with Kevin O’Leary (Mr. Wonderful of Shark Tank) today.

Valqari makes drop-off lockers for drone delivery. These lockers are installed in a fixed location, and drones carrying food or packages land on top of them. The food or package is shuttled from the drone to a designated locker where a customer or delivery person retrieves them via a mobile app.

Walsh spoke at our ArticulATE food robotics conference back in May. While that conversation focused mainly on B2B operations (i.e., restaurants flying meals to Valqari lockers for a third-party delivery person to pick up), he did mention that consumer versions were on the company’s roadmap.

During his pitch, O’Leary asked Walsh mainly about Valqari’s patents and the B2B applications and costs for the service, and the topic of food delivery was not raised in their conversation. Walsh said that there will be a number of payment options (lease versus buy), but O’Leary pressed for actual numbers. Walsh said that the cost would be between $32,000 and $35,000 for the hardware plus a $300/month subscription for business use. Walsh then said that Valqari will launch a single-family version of its locker later this year with the company “working” to bring the cost for that down below $1,500 with an undisclosed monthly subscription. Walsh also said that Valqari revenues are projected to be $12 million in 2022.

The idea of having a smart drone delivery platform in your front yard is enticing. Drone delivery of food, in particular makes a lot of sense when you consider how fast a hot meal can arrive at your door. But even if a retail version of Valqari’s lockers were available later this year in the U.S., drone delivery is still very new and not available everywhere. Big retailers like Kroger and Walmart are already running pilot programs, but laws and regulations around drone delivery are still being worked out. So before you plunk down $1,500, make sure that fancy drone mailbox won’t just sit unused at the end of your driveway.

Kroger’s Drone Delivery Officially Takes Off in Ohio

Kroger launched its first retail drone delivery on Wednesday of this week in Centerville, Ohio. The Dayton Daily News reported that the drone’s maiden voyage dropped off two packages of rice to Centerville Mayor Brooks Compton on the front lawn of the city’s offices.

Kroger announced the drone delivery program at the beginning of May, and while it had been running test flights in the Centerville area since then, Wednesday’s mayoral run was the first official delivery for the service. According to the Dayton Daily News, Kroger customers within a mile of the 1095 S. Main St. store can place an order for drone delivery and, as of now, there is no delivery fee for the service.

As we wrote last month, Kroger isn’t just looking to drop off food on your front yard. It’s aiming to get you items whenever/wherever you need it. Think: picnic supplies to a park or drinks at the beach. The drones can carry a five-pound payload and eligible orders should arrive within 15 minutes.

Kroger officially launching this program is the latest step towards drone delivery becoming a reality around the globe. So far in 2021, Flytrex has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to expand its drone delivery program (which includes Walmart grocery deliveries) in North Carolina, Manna has been conducting 50 – 100 drone deliveries a day in Ireland, and Pizza Hut has partnered with Dragontail Systems for drone deliveries in Tel Aviv, Israel.

While there are regulatory and safety hurdles that still need to be overcome, drones hold a lot of promise, especially for food-related deliveries. Drones are faster because they don’t get stuck in traffic, so hot food or coffee arrives hot. Because they are up in the air, drones don’t add to traffic congestion on the roads. And they could also potentially make deliveries more economical because one operator can coordinate more drone deliveries per hour.

Kroger’s drone delivery will probably be more of a novel curiosity for customers at first. But if it can fulfill the promise of faster, more convenient food, we’ll be writing a lot more about drone delivery launches across the U.S. throughout this year.

Flytrex Gets Thumbs Up From the FAA for Backyard Drone Delivery in North Carolina

Flytrex, a Tel Aviv, Israel-based drone delivery startup, announced today that it will be expanding its service in Fayetteville, North Carolina, after receiving approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). According to a press release sent to The Spoon, the FAA granted a waiver to Flytrex that allows the company to operate its drones above people, clearing the way for delivery of food, drinks and other goods directly to consumers’ backyards.

Drone operations will be conducted in cooperation with Causey Aviation Unmanned, and those interested in getting a latte delivered by drone will need to download the Flytrex app to place their order with participating restaurants and stores. Once fulfilled, the order is flown to the customer’s backyard where the drone hovers in the air and lowers the payload down to the ground by wire. Flytrex drones can carry a 6.5 pound payload up to 40 mph with a range of six miles.

Walmart has been part of Flytrex’s Fayetteville program since September of last year, offering drone delivery of select groceries and household goods. With today’s announcement, the number of homes in Fayetteville eligible for on-demand drone delivery from Walmart will expand, though more specifics were not provided.

It’s said that change happens slowly and then all at once. We appear to be on the cusp of the “all at once” part of that timeline as drone delivery is fast becoming a reality for consumers around the world. Over in Galway, Ireland, Manna has been doing 50 – 100 drone deliveries a day. Here in the U.S., Kroger announced a drone delivery pilot with Drone Express in Centerville, Ohio this Spring.

One of the potentially big advantages of drone delivery is speed. By flying above roads and traffic, drones can deliver hot coffee and restaurant meals in a manner of minutes. The food doesn’t spend as much time traveling and arrives hot. This means that drone companies can operate more deliveries per hour than a traditional third-party delivery driver (and that a full-sized car isn’t hauling a single cup of coffee). Manna says that a single drone operator can do 20 deliveries per hour.

For its part, Walmart seems to be getting serious about drones. The Arkansas Democrat Gazette posted a picture today of a drone launchpad being built by Walmart in Pea Ridge, Arkansas, just 11 miles from the company’s headquarters in Bentonville.

We had an entire panel devoted to the present and future of drone delivery with Manna CEO, Bobby Healy, and Valqari CEO, Ryan Walsh at our ArticulATE food robotics and automation conference last week. You can watch the full video of it and all of the day’s sessions by becoming a Spoon Plus member.

Kroger Taking Flight with Drone Delivery Pilot This Spring

Kroger announced today that it is working with Drone Express, a division of TELEGRID Technologies, to launch a drone delivery pilot starting this spring.

The first test of the new drone delivery will begin this week near the Kroger Marketplace in Centerville, Ohio (just outside of Dayton). Actual customer deliveries are scheduled to begin later this spring with a second pilot launching this summer at a Ralphs in California.

But Kroger isn’t just planning on sending drones to your front yard. In the press announcement, the company indicated that it’s looking to get customers the last minute items they need, wherever that may be. So that could be picnic supplies to a park, or cold drinks at a hot beach. Kroger said that drone deliveries will be limited to a payload of around five pounds and deliveries of eligible orders should arrive within 15 minutes.

When we talk about drone food delivery, it’s usually centered around restaurants. Because drones can reach their destinations so quickly, they are shaping up to be a viable option for hot restaurant meal delivery. But we are starting to see drone delivery gain traction with grocery retailers. In Ireland, Manna has a partnership with Tesco, and here in the U.S., Walmart is working with Flytrex to test out drone deliveries in North Carolina and Rouses Market is using Deuce Drone to trial deliveries in Alabama.

It should also be noted that with this drone trial, Kroger continues to show its tech-forward thinking. So far this year, Kroger has opened the first of its robot-powered customer fulfillment centers, and started piloting more automated checkout via Caper’s smart shopping carts. Plus the fact that Kroger is launching two drone delivery pilots this year shows the company is being more aggressive about aerial delivery than its competitors (at least publicly).

If you are interested in the future of drones delivery, then you must come to ArticulATE, our food automation virtual summit happening on May 18. We’ll have a full panel devoted to drones featuring the CEO of Manna. Get your ticket today!

Irish Drone Delivery Startup Manna Raises $25M Series A

Drone delivery startup Manna announced today that it has raised a $25 million Series A round of funding led by Draper Esprit, with participation from Team Europe, partners of DST Global, as well as returning investors Dynamo Ventures, Atlantic Bridge and Elkstone. This brings the total amount of funding raised by Manna to $30.2 million.

Based in Dublin, Ireland, Manna operates unmanned aerial vehicles for high-speed deliveries over the last mile. Drones fly out of a main hub carrying food orders and can reach a customer’s home in just three minutes. The customer uses something similar to a Google Map image of their home divided up into a grid and select where the drone should fly to. Once at that location, the drone hovers 50 feet above the ground and lowers the order down via tether.

Manna says that a single operator can conduct roughly 20 deliveries per hour. Manna is currently piloting drone delivery in Galway, Ireland, where it is doing up to 100 deliveries a day. In today’s press announcement, Manna said that more than 30 percent of Galway’s 10,000 residents are already using its service.

Drone delivery is quickly becoming a reality around the world as more pilot programs are launched and more companies get funded. Flytrex, which is testing drone deliveries with Walmart in North Carolina, raised $8 million last month. Dragontail Systems and Pizza Hut have partnered for drone delivery in Israel. And iFood and Speedbird Aero are deploying drone delivery in Brazil.

Here in the U.S., government agencies are clarifying rules around commercial drone operation. In December of last year, the FAA announced its final rules around the safety of drone flying. With more clarity will come more innovation and more drone delivery availability.

In addition to its pilot delivery program in Galway, Manna has also kept busy on the business development front. The company has signed partnerships with JustEat, Samsung, Ben & Jerrys and Tesco.

If you want to learn more about the future of drone delivery, be sure to attend ArticulATE, our food robotics and automation virtual conference on May 18. Manna CEO Bobby Healy will be speaking, along with a host of other executives across the robotics, restaurant and retail landscape. Get your ticket today!
