SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:SERV), a leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company, and Grubhub, a subsidiary of Wonder, a vertically integrated food technology platform built to make great food more accessible, today announced a partnership bringing robot delivery to the Grubhub marketplace, beginning in Chicago, Los Angeles and Alexandria. Serve's robot delivery will be available from more than 100 participating Grubhub merchants in Chicago and nearly 200 in Los Angeles, with additional restaurants expected to join the program over time. Every platform that integrates widens the set of restaurants and neighborhoods our robots can serve. 

The partnership headlines a wave of expansion announced today across every dimension of Serve's business: 

• Two new major markets: Serve has launched in Washington, DC and San Jose, California, both in partnership with DoorDash, to further expand its geo coverage and grow delivery volume.
• A new model for growth: Serve's first micro depots are set to open in Miami, low-cost, small-footprint sites that lets the company expand coverage faster.
• The next generation of its hospital robot: Moxi 2.0, from Diligent Robotics (a Serve company), begins rolling out to health systems nationwide, with a new robotic foundation model and 15x faster perception and improved autonomy.
• A first look at Beacon: Serve previews a new countertop product that unlocks robot delivery for any restaurant, regardless of their back-of-house infrastructure.
