What happened

  1. 01The Wolt delivery application suffered a global technical malfunction on Tuesday during the peak lunch hour.
  2. 02The technical outage prevented customers from placing new delivery orders through the application.
  3. 03Wolt advised customers to try again later and noted that self-pickup orders remained available.
  4. 04The cause of the global malfunction and the estimated time for service restoration were not immediately known.
  5. 05Wolt acknowledged the technical issue and stated it was working to restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
  6. 06This disruption follows previous global technical outages that affected Wolt on May 14, April 28, and August 25.

Customers attempting to place orders through the app were met with a message explaining that global technical difficulties prevented the service from receiving new orders. While delivery orders were blocked, the option for customers to place orders for self-pickup from businesses remained available. Wolt advised affected users to try placing their orders again later.

The cause of the malfunction and the estimated time for a full service restoration were not immediately known. Wolt stated that it was working to resolve the issue and hoped to resume normal operations as quickly as possible.

This incident is the latest in a series of global technical failures that have disrupted Wolt's delivery operations. Similar outages occurred on May 14, April 28, and August 25, as well as in late May when a glitch in the courier application prevented couriers from marking orders as delivered.
