- Wolt's global delivery service is down due to technical difficulties, blocking new orders.
- Customers are advised to try placing orders again later.
- Self-pickup orders from businesses are still available.
- The cause and estimated fix time for the outage are currently unknown.
- This is the latest in a series of global technical failures for Wolt.
- Similar outages occurred in late May, late April, and earlier in 2025.
A worldwide technical issue is currently preventing customers from placing new orders through the Wolt delivery app. Users attempting to access the service are met with a message stating the company is experiencing "global technical difficulties" and cannot accept orders at this time. Wolt is advising customers whose orders are being rejected to try again later. The option to order for self-pickup from businesses remains available.
Details regarding the cause of the malfunction or an estimated time for full service restoration have not yet been provided. This is not the first time a global outage has disrupted Wolt's delivery operations. In late May, the service was similarly unavailable for new orders due to a global glitch, which was the third such incident that month. At that time, company sources indicated the issue stemmed from the delivery app, preventing couriers from marking orders as delivered, potentially leaving thousands of orders stalled. Service resumed later that day.
Similar global disruptions affecting new order acceptance occurred in late April, also originating from the app used by Wolt couriers, and were resolved within about an hour. Earlier in 2025, several comparable global technical failures were recorded, including an incident in January that suspended ordering capabilities for approximately 30 minutes.
