The food delivery app Wolt is currently experiencing a global technical malfunction that is preventing customers in Israel and worldwide from placing new delivery orders. The issue stems from the couriers' app, which is not allowing them to mark orders as picked up or delivered. Consequently, Wolt has temporarily disabled new delivery orders through its customer app, leaving only self-pickup (Takeaway) options available. Customers are being informed via the app, "Unfortunately, we are experiencing a global technical malfunction that prevents us from receiving new orders at this time. We are addressing the issue and hope to return to full operation as soon as possible." This is not the first time the company has faced significant technical failures recently. A similar global outage occurred in August 2026, which halted orders for about 20 minutes. Another widespread failure in May 2026, the third in approximately one month, lasted over an hour and a half.
