A worldwide technical issue is currently preventing customers from placing new delivery orders through the Wolt app. Users attempting to order 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." The company apologized for the temporary inconvenience. The cause of the outage and an estimated time for service restoration have not yet been provided.
This is not the first time Wolt has faced widespread service 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, which prevented them from marking orders as delivered, leading to an estimated backlog of thousands of orders before service resumed later that day. That incident was reportedly the third such global failure that month.
