Food delivery through underground tubes?

Sounds crazy, but it’s already happening today, and Pipedream’s Garrett McCurrach thinks it just may be the future of delivery.

We catch up with Garrett just over a week after they announced their first pilot in the Atlanta suburbs, where they have built a system that delivers food and other items underground for nearly a mile.

During this podcast, we talk about how Garrett came up with the idea, what it was like to showcase the system to Jeff Bezos, how the company is working with fast-food restaurants to rethink drive-thru pickup, and what he sees for the future of underground delivery.
