Your friends from White Castle, a burger chain known in the United States, collaborated with this urban robot delivery platform that’s Coco Robotics to venture into autonomous deliveries via Uber Eats.
The restaurant, White Castle is this regional fast-food hamburger chain, known for its small, square hamburgers called “sliders.” Founded in the early 1920s in Wichita, Kansas, diners consider this their first fast-food hamburger chain. It is operating in around hundreds of locations across 13 states, primarily in the Midwest and in New York City.

AI-run robots
This platform says the integration of its zero-emission delivery robots will utilize the Uber Eats app to streamline the fulfillment of your orders, alleviating congestion in parking lots and expediting food deliveries without sacrificing convenience and quality.
These artificial intelligence-controlled robots, designed for the challenges of dense urban environments, have been in operation in Chicago since last year.
Under this new deal, they’ve completed over half a million zero-emission deliveries in cities and key areas, such as Los Angeles in California, Miami in Florida, and even Helsinki in Finland, so this partnership works even in adverse winter season conditions.
Real-time syncing
Enter: Checkmate. This initiative likewise enlists this technology, enabling them to be responsible for making sure real-time synchronization between the menu of the fast-food hamburger chain, Uber Eats, and the in-store point-of-sale systems for a smooth order processing and fulfillment.
"This partnership is about driving smarter operations where it matters most,” White Castle’s operations vice-president, Chris Shaffery, pointed out. “By testing Coco’s robots at a high-traffic location, we’re seeking to ease congestion, speed up service, and allow our team to stay focused on quality – helping us serve more customers, more efficiently.”
Checkmate has been providing restaurants with real-time updates on delivery statuses, enhancing their ability to stay informed, updated, and responsive.
Here’s a pro tip: to make this work, match your needs with a robot from Coco via the Uber Eats platform. Upon the arrival of those robots, you could start enjoying the perks and advantages of this team-up.
"Coco is already completing hundreds of thousands of orders, proving that autonomous food delivery is scaling rapidly,” Coco Robotics’ chief commercial officer, Melissa Fahs, told Ridesharing Forum. “By expanding our footprint through partners like Uber Eats, we’ve unlocked opportunities with national brands such as White Castle – bringing autonomous delivery to a quick-service staple that’s embracing technology to keep up with demand in high-traffic locations.”
