Serve Operating Co. is a Delaware corporation registered to do business in California under registration number 4700312, carrying an active status on the California Secretary of State bizfile Online register. Incorporated in January 2021, it operated for its first two years under the name Serve Robotics Inc. before adopting its current name in July 2023.

The company designs, builds and operates a fleet of autonomous, battery-powered sidewalk robots that perform last-mile delivery of restaurant and retail orders. Its robots are deployed through delivery-platform partnerships, including with Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub, and by mid-2026 the service covered dozens of neighborhoods in Los Angeles alongside deployments in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale and Alexandria, Virginia, with a target of roughly 2,000 robots operating across the United States by the end of 2026.

Beginning in August 2025, the underlying business expanded beyond sidewalk delivery through a series of acquisitions that added ultra-low-latency remote-teleoperation technology, a robotic kitchen-automation product for restaurant use, and, from January 2026, indoor service robots used in hospital settings. Serve Operating Co. maintains an online presence at serverobotics.com, and its most recent California filings list a business address in Redwood City, California.

Shareholders

Serve Operating Co. is a privately held Delaware corporation and is not itself listed on any stock exchange. According to Serve Robotics Inc.’s SEC filings, Serve Operating Co. is the direct, wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Serve Robotics Inc. (Nasdaq: SERV), and it does not report shareholders of its own beyond this parent relationship.

Two shareholder records appear on this profile – Vanguard Group Inc, recorded at approximately 14.2%, and Fidelity Salem Street Trust – Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund, recorded at approximately 1.9%, both dated 4 September 2026. These figures reflect institutional holdings of the publicly traded common stock of the ultimate parent, Serve Robotics Inc., rather than direct equity in Serve Operating Co. itself, since a wholly-owned private subsidiary does not carry separately traded shares. As index-fund managers, Vanguard’s and Fidelity’s positions represent portfolio holdings in Serve Robotics Inc. stock rather than a controlling or beneficial interest, and neither percentage meets a typical beneficial-ownership disclosure threshold.

No verified ultimate beneficial owner can be identified for Serve Operating Co. Its ultimate parent, Serve Robotics Inc., is a publicly traded company with dispersed institutional and retail shareholders, and no single natural person is disclosed as holding a controlling beneficial interest.

Data availability: direct shareholder information for privately held US operating subsidiaries such as Serve Operating Co. is generally not public. The institutional holding data referenced above reflects the disclosure regime applicable to the Nasdaq-listed parent, Serve Robotics Inc., rather than a filing made by Serve Operating Co. itself, and should be read in that context.

Officers

14

Serve Operating Co.’s California filings currently list five active officer and agent records out of fourteen on file, all reported as active with no resignation dates shown. The listed individuals overlap with the senior leadership of the wider Serve Robotics business: Ali Kashani holds the combined roles of Co-Founder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Secretary; Anthony Armenta serves as Chief Software & Data Officer, a newly created role he was appointed to on 18 November 2024; and Aduke Thelwell serves as Head of Investor Relations and Communications, a position held since July 2023. C T Corporation System, a corporate registered-agent provider, is listed as the company’s agent for service of process at an address in Glendale, California, rather than as an executive officer.

Nationality is not disclosed in any of these California corporate filings for the individuals listed; California Statement of Information filings do not capture nationality. Country of residence is likewise not stated in the filing itself. The Redwood City, California address associated with one of Ali Kashani’s officer records is a business correspondence address and should not be read as a personal residence or as evidence of nationality.

Recent officer changes: the most recently dated verified change identified is Anthony Armenta’s appointment as Chief Software & Data Officer, announced 18 November 2024, a newly created role focused on software, AI and autonomy development.

Data availability: officer information for this entity is partial. California Statement of Information filings typically capture only the chief executive, secretary, chief financial officer or treasurer, and registered agent in office at the time of filing, rather than a complete historical record of past appointments, resignations or removals.

Group Structure

Serve Operating Co. is not an independent company. It is the direct, wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Serve Robotics Inc., a Delaware corporation listed on Nasdaq under the ticker SERV, which is both its immediate and ultimate parent. This relationship dates to 31 July 2023, when the entity now named Serve Operating Co. (at the time itself named Serve Robotics Inc.) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly public parent through a corporate merger. Serve Robotics Inc.’s SEC filings state that Serve Operating Co. holds all material assets and conducts all business activities and operations of the group.

According to the subsidiary list filed with Serve Robotics Inc.’s most recent Form 10-K, the wider group also includes Diligent Robotics, Inc. and Serve Kitchen Robotics Inc. (both Delaware), Serve Robotics Canada Inc. (British Columbia) and Voysys AB (Sweden), which sit within the same corporate group as sister entities of Serve Operating Co. That filing does not specify whether these entities are held directly by Serve Robotics Inc. or through Serve Operating Co., so no direct or indirect subsidiary relationship between Serve Operating Co. and these entities is asserted here. A further entity, Serve Operating Company Australia Pty Ltd, appears in the same SEC subsidiary list; its name suggests a link to Serve Operating Co.’s international operations, but the exact holding structure is not specified in the disclosed filings, so this relationship is treated as unverified.

Entity Country Relationship Ownership Status Information date
Serve Robotics Inc. United States (Delaware) Immediate and ultimate parent Wholly-owned Active, Nasdaq: SERV FY2025 Form 10-K
Diligent Robotics, Inc. United States (Delaware) Sister company (holding tier not specified) Ownership percentage not disclosed Active FY2025 Form 10-K
Serve Kitchen Robotics Inc. (formerly Vebu, Inc.) United States (Delaware) Sister company (holding tier not specified) Ownership percentage not disclosed Active FY2025 Form 10-K
Serve Robotics Canada Inc. Canada (British Columbia) Sister company (holding tier not specified) Ownership percentage not disclosed Active FY2025 Form 10-K
Voysys AB Sweden Sister company (holding tier not specified) Ownership percentage not disclosed Active FY2025 Form 10-K
Serve Operating Company Australia Pty Ltd Australia Possible relationship (unverified holding tier) Ownership percentage not disclosed Active FY2025 Form 10-K

Recent structural changes affecting the group include the acquisition of hospital-robotics company Diligent Robotics, Inc., completed 27 January 2026; the acquisition of the assets of Phantom Auto Inc. together with its Swedish subsidiary Voysys AB, completed 9 September 2025; and the acquisition of restaurant-automation company Vebu, Inc., completed 17 February 2026, with the acquired business continuing under the name Serve Kitchen Robotics Inc.

Data availability: the immediate and ultimate parent relationship is fully verified through SEC filings. Information on the precise ownership tier of other group entities relative to Serve Operating Co. specifically is partial, since Serve Robotics Inc.’s subsidiary disclosures are filed at the consolidated group level rather than entity by entity.
