Serve Robotics Extends Autonomous Delivery to Fort Lauderdale

Serve Robotics Inc. SERV further expands into the South Florida market with its autonomous delivery service in partnership with Uber Eats. This efficient service is now available in the city of Fort Lauderdale, stemming from the success in Miami.This new market extension deepens the company’s presence across one of the nation’s most active and fast-growing delivery markets. The customers in Fort Lauderdale’s neighborhoods, including Downtown and Las Olas Boulevard, will now have their restaurant orders delivered by Serve Robotics’ AI-powered sidewalk robots through Uber Eats. This strategic move is expected to bring a more sustainable, reliable and cost-efficient delivery option to both restaurants and consumers.With vibrant food culture comes a strong foundation for meaningful partnerships and seamless customer experiences, and SERV’s new market extension strategy bodes well for further expansion plans in South Florida. Besides, the rollout also advances the company’s broader national expansion strategy as it works toward deploying about 2,000 delivery robots across the United States by the end of 2025 in partnership with Uber Eats. The milestone follows successful launches in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta.Per Dr. Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics, “Building on our success in Miami, the expansion to Fort Lauderdale allows us to serve more communities, support more restaurant partners, and continue scaling our low-emissions delivery network across the region.”SERV stock gained 3.2% during trading hours and an additional 0.4% in the after-hours on Friday.Serve Robotics’ Collaborations Strengthen MomentumServe Robotics is accelerating its expansion through major partnerships and rapid operational scale.
