While Uber Eats is slowly creeping throughout Auckland, Yelp is already looking to the future. Eat24, Yelp’s online food ordering service, operates in a similar manner to most online delivery services. Users can browse menus of restaurants operating in the service, place an order and have it delivered to them. At the moment this tedious chore is carried out be real humans driving vehicles, but Yelp appear to be looking to the development of robots designed to deliver food themselves. A Yelp/Eat24 branded robot was spotted in San Francisco’s Mission District, and although Yelp declined to comment on the issue, robots are already being used in Hamburg, Germany to deliver Dominos pizza. Marble, the manufacturer of the Yelp robots, also decline to comment.
THE ROBOTS ARE COMING!
