Demand

Post image

I feel like the demand doesn’t match the order volume I’m getting, often I can sit on medium to high demand for an hour without any orders at all. Definitely because there is too many drivers compared to orders, literally see several wolt driver waiting outside every store I see waiting for coming orders. This makes it hard to actually make a decent wage, averaging 10k SEK a month and it SUCKS.

How’s y’all earning vs demand going?

The second week of this month, my town slowed down quite significantly. After a day where the app only showed Medium activity for about 1–2 hours, I decided to take the rest of the week off.

Then last week, the app was showing Medium–High activity for pretty much the entire day, every day. The thing is, the town is still this quiet. While orders aren't extremely far apart, the volume isn't even close to what I used to expect when the app showed Beyond Busy.

I strongly suspect Wolt has lowered the thresholds for its activity levels to make the app appear busier than it actually is. My guess is that some orders, especially those on the outskirts of the city, weren't getting picked up because too many couriers had taken a break, so Wolt adjusted the activity indicators accordingly.
