Delivery

The Robots Have Landed

UT Dallas Dining partnered with Starship Technologies to bring robots to UT Dallas to deliver food, snacks, and drinks all around campus.

 

How to Order Delivery

To use the service, students, staff and faculty can download the Starship Deliveries app from either the Apple® (iOS) or Google Play (Android™) app stores.

• Users select their delivery location by dropping a pin on the map inside the app.
• Once an order is placed, the app will update the user of the robot’s location in real time.
• Once the robot arrives to the spot the user has selected the app will send an alert that the robot has arrived.
• The robot will meet you outside of your building, be sure and bring your cell phone to unlock the robot through the app.
• The robots drive autonomously but are monitored by humans who can take control at any time.

 

Locations

Starship robots deliver food all across campus including Northside, SPN, and SPN2 from the following locations:

Delivery hours vary by participating venues, opening the app you will see what venues are open and available for deliveries at that time.

 

Payment Types Accepted

The Starship Deliveries app will accept debit/credit transactions and Comet Cash. There is a $2.49 delivery fee.
