Grubhub Launches New Jersey Drone Delivery Pilot From Wonder’s Green Brook Site

The three-month test uses FAA-certified Dexa drones that lower meals by tether along approved routes to evaluate speed, safety, community response.

Overview

  • The service began March 18, delivering within a 2.5-mile radius of Wonder’s Green Brook food hall using Dexa’s DE-2020 aircraft.
  • Flights run on FAA-approved paths with autonomous operation monitored by certified pilots who can take control if needed.
  • Orders are lowered to the ground via a controlled tether after flight crews confirm secure, compliant packaging.
  • Eligible diners choose drone delivery in the Grubhub app, track the flight in real time, and pay only standard delivery and service fees.
  • Grubhub, Dexa, and Wonder will review safety, speed, reliability, noise, and local feedback over three months to decide on expansion.
