Autonomous robotic delivery company Serve Robotics said it agreed to acquire Vebu, which offers full-stack automation and robotics solutions for restaurant partners.
The acquisition will allow Serve to provide customers with a suite of automation solutions and expand its offerings into back of house automation, it said Thursday.
Vebu is maker of the Autocado, an avocado-processing robot which allows employees to load up to 25 pounds of avocados into the device, which it makes into guacamole. The Autocado is now in pilot testing in Chipotle's Huntington Beach, Calif., restaurant, Serve said.
Vebu's founder and Chief Executive Buck Jordan will join Serve Robotics as senior vice president of kitchen automation.
