  • Summary

  • Brody Sweeney is the founder of the Camile Thai restaurant chain and is making big plans for his company's thriving home deliveries. He told Sonya Lennon, host of The Architects of Business, made in partnership with EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™, that trials to deliver Camile Thai food via drone in Oranmore, Co. Galway were going well and he expected to roll out nationwide usage "fairly soon". He's working with another Irish entrepreneur, Bobby Healy, and his Manna Aero drone-delivery business, in the west to refine the delivery process for his food. "We load the food into the drone, it takes off to 400 feet, flies directly to your house. "When it gets to your house, it hovers over the square, sends you a text message, asking you are are you ready to receive it. "You say, 'yes', the drone comes down to 40 feet and a little door opens underneath it and the food comes down on a string, which is biodegradable. "The string then unravels from the drone and just falls down on top of the food, and the drone goes back up to 400 feet and it flies back to base. "So it's extraordinary, it's working." Listen to Brody (a 2001 finalist in the EY Entrepreneur of the Year™ programme) explain how the thinks drones will become part and parcel of home delivery for all sorts of goods once the regulatory details have been sorted out.
