This Is Huge! Chick-fil-A Just Made a Major Announcement About Delivery That We Didn’t See Coming

Modern technology already plays a significant role in every aspect of our lives, including how we order and receive food. This has been especially true since the COVID-19 pandemic, which inspired a wave of popularity in meal delivery services and no-contact interactions. Now, Chick-fil-A is taking “contactless delivery” to a whole new level. They recently announced that they’ll be testing out delivery robots in several states. Woah!

The fan favorite chicken restaurant has teamed up with a tech company called Refraction AI to create a fully automated delivery in which robots will bring your spicy chicken biscuit directly from the restaurant to you. This technology is being tested in Austin, Texas, as well as California and Florida, according to WSB-TV.

Here’s how it works: When you order delivery from Chick-fil-A at participating locations, your order will be delivered by wheeled robot who will have your sandwiches handy in a locked compartment. Refraction AI’s website says that these robots “pick up goods from places like restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores and bring them directly to your house, enabling faster, cheaper, and safer delivery to meet customer’s growing expectations.” Interesting!
