The popular food delivery app Wolt experienced a widespread outage on Wednesday, beginning in the early afternoon, due to a significant global technical issue. Customers in Israel and worldwide attempting to place orders encountered error messages and an official statement from the company acknowledging "global technical difficulties" that prevented new orders from being accepted. A wave of frustrated user complaints has surfaced on social media. Wolt is advising customers to try again later or utilize the self-pickup option from restaurants, which remains functional. This disruption is not entirely unexpected for users and restaurant partners, as it follows a series of recurring technical failures within the company's systems in recent months. Previously, Wolt's core systems crashed multiple times, including an incident involving the delivery personnel's app, which halted operations and froze thousands of orders during peak demand. The company has not provided a specific timeline for the restoration of full service, but the repeated malfunctions raise questions about the stability of the delivery giant's technological infrastructure.
