Bulbul Signs MOU with Rasoi Indian Restaurant to Pilot Drone-Based Food Delivery in Menifee

Menifee, California – 09|27|2025

We’re excited to share another meaningful milestone in Bulbul’s journey toward building a real-world, scalable drone delivery ecosystem in the City of Menifee.

Bulbul has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Rasoi Indian Restaurant, one of the busiest and most popular food destinations in Menifee, to explore an initial drone-based food delivery pilot within the city.

This collaboration marks an important step in demonstrating how autonomous drone delivery can support high-volume, time-sensitive commercial operations.

Why Rasoi? A High-Volume, Real-World Use Case

Rasoi Indian Restaurant is a well-established and highly frequented food chain in Menifee, known for its consistent quality and strong customer demand. With an average of nearly 90 deliveries per day, Rasai represents an ideal real-world partner to test and validate the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of drone-based food delivery.

By working with an active, high-demand restaurant, Bulbul aims to move beyond theoretical pilots and into practical, everyday delivery operations.

Scope of the Collaboration

Under the signed MOU, both teams will collaborate on planning and executing an initial food delivery pilot that will:

  • Evaluate drone delivery feasibility for short-range food orders
  • Reduce delivery time during peak hours
  • Improve customer experience through faster and predictable delivery
  • Explore sustainable alternatives to road-based delivery

Rasoi has shown strong interest in adopting innovative delivery methods to better serve its customers, while Bulbul will provide the end-to-end drone delivery technology and operational framework.

Bulbul’s Role

As a complete end-to-end drone delivery solution provider, Bulbul will support the pilot through:

  • Autonomous drone delivery systems
  • Fleet coordination and mission planning
  • Safety-first operational workflows
  • Integration with ordering and dispatch processes

The pilot will be designed with scalability in mind, ensuring that successful outcomes can be extended to additional restaurants and commercial partners across the city.

Building a City-Scale Drone Delivery Ecosystem

This collaboration with Rasoi complements Bulbul’s broader engagement with the City of Menifee and local stakeholders. Together, these initiatives aim to demonstrate how drone delivery can be safely integrated into everyday urban life—supporting healthcare, emergency response, and now commercial food delivery.

Food delivery represents one of the most visible and relatable use cases for drone logistics, and this pilot will help validate how aerial delivery can coexist with city operations and public safety frameworks.

Looking Ahead

The Rasoi pilot is currently in the early planning phase, with operational workflows, routes, and safety considerations being defined. Once launched, the pilot will provide valuable insights into customer experience, operational efficiency, and scalability.

Bulbul looks forward to working closely with Rasoi Indian Restaurant to bring faster, smarter, and more sustainable food delivery to Menifee.

Closing Note

At Bulbul, we believe meaningful innovation starts with strong local partnerships. We’re grateful to the Rasoi team for their trust and enthusiasm, and we’re excited to explore how drone delivery can elevate the dining and delivery experience for their customers.

More updates will be shared as the pilot progresses.
