Serve Robotics flags lower Q2 revenue and reduced H2 demand; announces Grubhub deal
Serve Robotics said in an 8-K that its second-quarter 2026 revenue declined after lower-than-expected delivery volume through its Uber Eats partnership, and that it expects reduced demand in the second half of 2026. The same day, it announced a partnership bringing robot delivery to the Grubhub marketplace in Chicago, Los Angeles and Alexandria, which shareholders may weigh against the outlook for lower demand.
Key points
- Q2 2026 revenue declined, reflecting lower-than-expected delivery volume through the Uber Eats partnership, as previously disclosed in the Q2 earnings release.
- The company expects reduced demand in the second half of 2026.
- Grubhub robot delivery begins in Chicago (more than 100 participating merchants) and Los Angeles (nearly 200), with Wonder's Alexandria location also offering robot delivery.
- Serve launched in Washington, DC and San Jose, California, both with DoorDash, and its first Miami micro depot is set to open.
