Footage going viral online shows a Chick-fil-A in Florida testing food delivery drones.

“Take a behind the scenes look at drone delivery, only available at Chick-fil-A E. Brandon-Valrico,” an Instagram video stated.

The video’s caption read:

Drone delivery is now here at Chick-fil-A E. Brandon/Valrico only! For a limited time, order Chick-fil-A Delivery and enjoy a $0 delivery fee. The current delivery hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 6:00pm, subject to availability. Delivery distance is limited.

When placing your order on the Chick-fil-A app, select “Chick-fil-A Delivery” to ensure your order will be delivered by Drone.

The World Economic Forum will watch this footage with glee.

Stay inside your pods!

We’ll deliver the unhealthy food to your doorstep.

From the New York Post:

Diners within a 1.2-mile radius of the Brandon/Valrico Chick-fil-A in Central Florida will now have the option to have their spicy chicken sandwiches and milkshakes delivered via drone for a limited time.

Drone delivery is available between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, the restaurant announced on social media last week. The fast food joint said it hopes to expand to a 2-mile radius in the near future.

The restaurant partnered with DroneUp, a Virginia-based tech company that also launched a drone delivery service with a Tampa Walmart last year, The Tampa Bay Times reported.

“We are in the early stages of testing drone delivery at a small number of Chick-fil-A restaurants,” Chick-fil-A spokesperson Chelsea Lee told local media.

Soon, the fast food industry will eliminate all face-to-face interaction to obtain your meals.

Order food from an app and it gets delivered to your door.

The fast food chain expects to deliver within a two-mile radius in the near future.

Will that be just in time for ‘15-minute cities?’
