Serve Robotics is getting in the avocado game, and more importantly, the Chipotle game.
The autonomous delivery company has announced that it is acquiring Vebu, the maker of the Autocado, a machine that processes avocados for guacamole. Autocado is known for its connection to Chipotle Mexican Grill. The automated system cores, cuts and peels up to 25 pounds of avocados at a time and is being piloted at select Chipotle locations.
This gives Serve another robot to offer customers and expands its offerings into the back-of-house.
Serve also has relationships with Shake Shack and Uber Eats.
