From Ben and Jerry's ice cream to pizzas for priests: How drone startup Manna adapted to the coronavirus pandemic

Irish drone delivery startup Manna was ready to start deliveries of Ben and Jerry's ice cream just when the coronavirus lockdown started to kick in.

The startup had been going since late 2018, and had struck a deal with Just Eat and Unilever to deliver Ben and Jerry's to the 30,000 students of University College Dublin starting on March 18. The HSE designated Manna an essential service, and according to Healy it took the company about a week to flip the switch and get ready.For the first trial of their service, Manna picked the village of Moneygall, which has a population of around 1,000 people and a nicely central convenience store.

Healy said the oldest resident to use the service is the parish priest, who is 85, when the priest ordered a pizza. When Healy met with the owner of the local convenience store about launching Manna, he said the priest's regular Thursday night pizza order is the only delivery the town really makes. "It was always my plan to replace that one delivery," Healy said.
