DoorDash is partnering with drone service Wing to offer order delivery by drone in metro Atlanta.

Eligible customers near Tanger Outlets in Locust Grove can order from a selection of local and national restaurants and have a drone deliver it in as few as 20 minutes, according to a Wednesday press release.

How does DoorDash drone delivery work?

Eligible customers will see a drone icon in the DoorDash app, which will give them a list of participating restaurants to search. Those with an address in the eligible delivery zone can, if items meet size and weight requirements, select drone delivery at checkout and track their order in real time as it arrives.
