A worldwide technical issue is currently preventing customers from placing new delivery orders through the Wolt app. Users attempting to order food are met with a message stating the company is experiencing "global technical difficulties" that are disrupting its delivery service. The option for self-pickup from businesses remains operational.
Wolt has acknowledged the problem, issuing a statement that reads, "We are currently experiencing a global technical malfunction affecting the acceptance of new orders and are working to resolve the issue quickly. We apologize for the temporary inconvenience."
As of Wednesday, the cause of the outage and the expected time for full service restoration have not been disclosed. This is not the first time Wolt has faced widespread disruptions; in late May, a similar global glitch halted new orders for several hours. At that time, company sources indicated the issue stemmed from the couriers' app, preventing them from marking orders as delivered, which reportedly left thousands of orders in limbo until service resumed later that day.
