Some North Texans will be able to receive their next pizza order via drone, DoorDash and Flytrex announced.
FRISCO, Texas — If you live in Frisco or Little Elm, your next DoorDash order could be delivered by drone.
Flytrex, a drone delivery company, announced it will partner with DoorDash in a press release Thursday. The partnership enables customers to place orders directly through the DoorDash app, expanding a pilot program.
Customers in parts of Little Elm and Frisco can now order food from dozens of local and national restaurants, the release states.
Eligible customers can select drone delivery at checkout, the orders will be prepared at the restaraunt and flown to their home, the company said. Participating restaurants include the Papa John’s King Road location and The Brass Tap, between 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m.
“The next phase of drone delivery is all about convenience, driven by expanded capabilities that unlock a broader range of use cases,” Harrison Shih, head of product for DoorDash Labs, said in a release.
The pilot program previously completed over 1,000 deliveries, the release states.
The drones can carry up to 6.6 pounds and the next-generation models will increase capacity to 8.8 pounds.
