Serve Robotics develops autonomous delivery robots and a Delivery-as-a-Service (DaaS) model for businesses in food and retail. Its lightweight self-driving robots transport orders through urban environments, replacing car-based deliveries with eco-friendly, curb-to-door service. Customers subscribe to the service and pay based on delivery volume and frequency, enabling scalable, predictable costs. The company also may generate revenue via partnerships and licensing for integration of its autonomous delivery technology. What sets Serve Robotics apart is the combination of practical, city-friendly robotics with a focus on sustainability and a subscription-based delivery platform, aiming to provide faster, more reliable, and lower-emission deliveries. The goal is to move away from traditional vehicles toward autonomous, environmentally friendly delivery solutions that reduce emissions and traffic while improving the customer experience.

Serve Robotics reported Q2 2026 revenues of $3.24 million, up 404% year-over-year but missing estimates. The company slashed full-year revenue guidance to $9 million–$10 million from $26 million after delivery volumes dropped for the first time in 17 quarters. CEO Ali Kashani said Serve does not expect to renew its Uber agreement when it expires in early 2027 unless the operating model improves substantially. Lower-than-expected robot utilisation through Uber stemmed from differences over fleet coordination and merchant integration. Serve is shifting focus toward diversified channels. DoorDash partnership revenues grew nearly 50% sequentially, and advertising now represents nearly half of robotic food-delivery revenues. The company also signed seven multiyear hospital contract extensions and added two new hospitals.
Serve Robotics is prioritising fleet efficiency over expansion in 2026, aiming to boost revenue per robot and improve margins. The company's first-quarter revenues climbed nearly sevenfold year over year to almost $3 million, driven by higher fleet activity and growing software services. Management reaffirmed its full-year revenue guidance of $26 million. Rather than deploying more sidewalk robots in the first half, the company is focusing on increasing utilisation by onboarding more merchants and expanding coverage within existing markets. Serve Robotics is also diversifying beyond food delivery through software services and the integration of Diligent Robotics, strengthening its AI platform with data from sidewalk and hospital environments. The company continues to report significant losses whilst investing in autonomy and research.
Serve Robotics has deployed 2,000 robots across 44 cities in 14 US states, expanding its autonomous delivery network. Fleet revenues grew from approximately $200,000 to nearly $2 million in Q1 2025, with the deployed fleet becoming seven times larger year over year. Software services accounted for roughly one-third of total revenues, whilst under half were recurring. The company's acquisition of Diligent Robotics extended operations into healthcare automation. However, profitability remains under pressure as Serve invests in autonomy development and AI infrastructure. Gross margin stayed negative during the first quarter. The company anticipates slower growth in Q2 whilst focusing on operational efficiency rather than additional robot deployment. Serve expects operational improvements and broader partner integrations to support growth in the second half of 2025.
Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:SERV) has launched a commercial pilot with NoScrubs, an on-demand laundry service, expanding its autonomous sidewalk robots beyond food delivery. The partnership, beginning in select Los Angeles neighbourhoods, will utilise Serve's fleet during off-peak hours, with plans to expand into dry cleaning, retail, pharmacy and grocery delivery. The company operates approximately 2,000 robots nationwide, including 500 in Los Angeles. Serve reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of $3 million, up 238% sequentially and 578% year-over-year, with software services comprising one-third of revenue. The company maintained its 2026 revenue guidance of approximately $26 million and held $197.4 million in liquidity as of 31 March 2026. Analyst ratings remain mixed, with price targets ranging from $15 to $22 across major firms.
Serve Robotics has appointed Andreas Lieber to its board of directors, effective 22nd June 2026. Lieber replaces Sarfraz Maredia, Uber's Global Head of Autonomous Mobility & Delivery, who served three years on the board. Lieber brings extensive experience scaling technology and logistics businesses at Uber, Postmates, Pinterest, Groupon, Yahoo and T-Mobile. He served as general manager and interim CEO at Postmates, leading its integration with Uber when Serve was spun out as an independent company. He currently serves as general manager, Industry & Technology, at California Forever. Serve Robotics, which went public and acquired Diligent Robotics in 2026, has deployed over 2,000 robots across the US, now operating in hospitals and kitchens beyond its original sidewalk delivery focus.
