Company profile

Neighborfavor Inc., which operates as Favor Delivery, is an on-demand delivery service headquartered in Austin, Texas. Founded in 2013, the company operates as a wholly owned, independently-run subsidiary of the Texas-based grocery chain H-E-B, which acquired it in February 2018. While revenue figures are not public, sources estimate the company has between 450 and 1,700 employees.

Favor Delivery provides an online and mobile application platform for ordering and delivering food, groceries, and other items from local restaurants and stores. The service operates exclusively in more than 400 cities across Texas. Favor uses a network of contract delivery drivers, known as "Runners," to fulfill customer orders, which can include items from H-E-B grocery stores and other national and local retailers.

As a litigant in U.S. patent cases, Neighborfavor Inc. has been exclusively a defendant. The company has been named as a defendant in one tracked patent case and has not filed any cases as a plaintiff. This pattern is typical of an operating company defending itself against patent assertions rather than initiating litigation. The single tracked case against the company was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, a common venue for patent infringement lawsuits.

The company's tracked patent suit is X One Inc v. Neighborfavor Inc et al., filed in April 2026. The plaintiff, X One Inc., has a history of patent litigation against technology companies, including Uber, involving patents related to location-tracking technology. Such technology is fundamental to the logistics and coordination of on-demand delivery services like Favor.
