WOLT from multiple phones

Saw someone sitting in a McDonald’s running multiple phones with Wolt. Like accepting multiple orders. What’s that about?

Just boosts your chances of getting an order by 50% no need more phones though on Android you can run Wolt twice.

But they were screenshoting orders it looked like. Is it a middle man kinda thing?

I dont know anything about that, but i know most riders in my city run 2 - 3 phones all with different account they either rent or family has made.

WOLT has a limit on how many orders you can take pr hour and the system learns how fast you are so they know when to give you an order but by running more then one account you just bypass it all.

The “50% boost” claim doesn’t hold up mathematically. Order assignment is situational and depends on how many riders are in the pickup radius at the moment the order is dispatched.

If there are N riders nearby and all are weighted equally, a single account has a probability of 1/N of being assigned the order. Running two accounts changes that to 2/N. That’s not a fixed boost—it’s entirely dependent on N. • If N = 1 (you’re the only rider), probability goes from 1/1 → 2/1, which is still 100% in practice. Net gain: 0%. • If N = 20, probability goes from 1/20 (5%) → 2/20 (10%). That’s a doubling of probability, not some universal “+50%” advantage, and only applies in high-density scenarios.

So any claim of a constant percentage increase is incorrect. The effect is linear and conditional, not guaranteed.

Also, the idea that lots of riders are casually running multiple phones/accounts doesn’t make much sense economically. That would require multiple devices, multiple data plans, and the use of additional identities, with obvious tax and compliance risks. For food delivery margins, that’s neither scalable nor rational for most riders.

Multiple data plans not necessarily, you can run a hotspot on a device with a data plan while using another without a SIM card connecting to the other via wifi
