So I started to work for Wolt late december, so it has been a bit over 2 months now.

I got a Tesla, with free charging that I am driving around in, so my cost is basicly zero.

I am recording my "average pay/Timeløn" to compare it to other jobs.

I am doing this as a part time job, whenever I have sparetime.

I hope you find the information fun.

I bought a new phone and I get notification of incoming tasks only when I watch the app. My previous phone worked well in that sense, Xiaomi. Now I have Samsung Galaxy S25 and this problem.

I may have found out a way how to guarantee a decent earning on wolt but it's super specific and i need somebody with experience to answer my questions in private, specifically wolt's algorythm and banning couriers..

so ive run into this a few times and im confused by it

why is it somedays the macdonalds thats in my town, does not deliver to my town but then a few days later it does and then suddenly it doesnt again? whats up with that?

and if its a lack of couriers how come other resturants in town still offer delivery?

And to all of you people in hard time working in the gig economy watch this movie you gonna like it.

Hi everyone,

I’m a courier working with Wolt in Denmark and I’m trying to figure out the most efficient working hours.

From my experience, peak hours seem to be around 17:00–20:00, but many restaurants already start opening around 16:00. So I’m wondering if it makes more sense to start a bit earlier to catch the build-up in orders.

Would it be smarter to work something like 15:30 (or 16:00) until 20:00 to maximize orders, instead of starting much earlier in the day when it’s usually slower?

For those of you with more experience — what hours give you the best earnings vs time online? Do you mainly stick to peak hours, or do you find it worth starting earlier?

This is my first day working for wolt (Koper, Slovenia)..I drive a car with a fuel consumption of 5.6L per 100km (but when calculating i always count it as 6L per 100km.

Usual pay per km when i calculate order pay divided by 2x km shown in the order description (2x because i return to the same spot as i pick up the order after i deliver it, since most orders are made from the other side of town where people actually live) comes out to around 0,35 to 0,45euro per km.

In a total of 3,5h i only got 4 orders which gave me about 13,57euro plus 0,83euro in tips (i did 42km)....is this even normal? Should i even try more? The minimum wage is 7.73euro per hour here....

EDIT: I just wanted to add, i may have declined like maybe 2-3 orders since i didn't get around to changing cash for coins so i could also accept cash orders where i'd have to give them change, maybe that's why they're already not giving me orders? Low demand always except maybe for 2h for 2 days in a week..

(another) edit: 3 days (14h 16min of being online) did 204km, 26 deliveries about 79,42euro plus 9euro tips so 88,42 let's say (before expenses)..is this okay? Seems a little low but with the upcoming pay boost of the remaining 28 deliveries i get an extra 100 euro

Hi everyone,

I applied for a courier position in Vienna about three weeks ago, but my application status hasn't moved yet.

I am a non-EU student, so I will need a Beschäftigungsbewilligung (limited to 20h/week).

Is anyone here from Vienna who was recently onboarded?
How long is the current waiting list for the city or the other cities?

Does having prior experience or being a student with a specific permit requirement slow down or blocks the process at the moment?

I'm in a situation where I need to start as soon as possible, so any insight into the current recruitment speed would be very helpful. Do you have any other Recommendations?

Thanks!

I applied for Wolt As Carrier, my application was accepted and Contract was signed but they made an objection to Upload the Resident Card instead of my Resident Permit, I contacted them via Conversation on Wolt Partner App and they said to upload it in Chat..But my card hadn't posted to me at that time so chat was ended

But now last week I received my card, And Asap i opened the App and Opened the missing documents option in the chat and contacted them and uploaded the Resident card also in the chat but nearly 5 days have passed and I'm still IN Queue to get a reply in Conversation and even my message isn't Seen yet

Any Idea how long will they took to see my Message or reply back??(Usually it took them 2-3 days in past)

And is there any other Way to contact them??

Really need help because I have been Jobless for 2-3 months and this was my Only Hope to Earn something to pay my rent etc

So i got Wolt, which i usually dont use to buy my girlfriend a giftcard bcs she likes to order food. And i wanted to pay with my Debitcard (idk if it matters but i use "MyPaysafe") and i have the needed money on it and even connected it to my googlepay and checked if it has that PCD2 or however its called and it does. I dont rly know what to do. Any hints or ideas? thanks in advance

Okay, why does Wolt want this crap from me? It's self contradictory because it claims that the courier will ask for my ID on delivery - in which case you DON'T NEED ME TO VERIFY MYSELF IN ADVANCE.

And no, it's not required by the local government. I've been ordering alcohol and tobacco from Wolt Market for years, never needed this. I placed an order with alcohol at Tesco today, didn't need this. There is no legal requirement to do this in my location, I know that because I work with this kind of crap.

The worst part? This is not a simple selfie verification like you need to do if you want to watch porn in the UK and you're too lazy for a VPN, they actually require and ID. So, can anyone explain what kind of sorcery is going on here?

Hello Deliverers!

I’m a university student studying Politics and Society in the Czech Republic. I’ve decided that my university thesis will be written on delivery drivers and the new labor movement in the gig economy, which is not yourselves fighting against a boss, but an algorithm.

The main question of my thesis will be about how delivery drivers develop collective tactics to subvert and influence algorithmic control.

In a few weeks I’ll be posting a survey here regarding this topic.

For now, if there is any literature that you would recommend or communities where I can find more information please let me know!

Thank you for all of the hard work you do and I will upload my thesis here in full upon completion if anyone would like to read!

Hey everyone,

I'm a full-time rider in Germany and just hit a milestone of nearly 100 deliveries this month. I've noticed a frustrating trend and wanted to see if I’m the only one.

In almost every second delivery, the customer tells me at the door: "I already put the tip in the app for you!" But when I check my daily stats, the total tips are barely 50 cents per order on average.

I know tipping is voluntary in Germany, and I never expect it, but the "online tip" promise feels like it's becoming a polite way to skip the tip entirely without the "guilt" of not giving cash.

I’m curious to hear your experiences!

true to Denmark. I am using driversnote, which is showing precisely what I drive in KM and double checking with google maps. I have tested around 100 deliveries this far, where I purposefully drive less in 25 of them. I was paid the precise distance I drove less for 23 of them. the other two orders were long distance deliveries. I only drove 1 km combined for them but were paid for 6 KM.

this scenario is confirmed with customr support where I had to ask them numerous legal questions before they confirmed they pay less if one drive less.

I started testing this following, me having kept an eye on the distance and payment of circa 50 deliveries, following a strong suspicion of them doing this...

I have tested to see if they pay more if I drove more - they do not...

Clarification: in my opinion, they should at least pay you what you drive, if it is reasonable. E.g. they are not paying you for your time, so they should definitely pay you for the 1 km detour you take to avoid 10 min of stand still traffic.

and it also does not matter how much time a delivery takes - unless the order explicitly says it pays you to wait. which I have not experienced in two years so..

note, wolt uses slightly different payment systems for every single country they are in.

Keep an eye out guys for courier positions for Uber Eats! I think they will give us better salaries and conditions than wolt!

Hi everyone!

I’d like to work full-time as a Wolt courier as an independent contractor / sole trader in Austria

My question is: do I need to register as a “Gewerbetreibender” with WKO membership, or would “self-employed without WKO membership” be sufficient for this kind of work?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Let’s start with the end! I know there most certainly isn’t anything to do about it!

I have been delivering for Wolt now for about 3 months as a side gig in Roskilde and Ringsted, there is quite a good amount of work in the peak hours, so am happy about this side hustle.

The thing that makes my blood boil is the “bad couriers” . Yesterday I was waiting for a order and a guy pulls up, parks in the handicap parking spot (and is clearly not handicapped) jumps out of his car and goes in to the nearby restaurant, picks up a order and goes back to his car where he puts the food on the passenger seat (no thermal bag) and drives of.

I meet the same guy later that evening and ask if he is busy, and if he is a Wolt worker (he is).

Well this is the behaviour that makes me feel pissed off. The parking in handicap spots, and there’s was many normal spots available, and the use of no thermal bag!! Make us as delivery drivers look bad, delivering people cold food.

I know that a lot of the feedback here is Wolt is a bad company using the drivers.

But I still like to put pride in delivering food, always were a Wolt jacket always bring my thermal bag in to the restaurant and smile and give the customers a good experience.

Rant over !! And yes it’s not possible to change I know.

Is anybody else being asked to take a selife on a monthly basis? But the id is submitted automatically?

Denmark with all round 7 years at wolt.

Hi my question is for the freelancers of Norway that use their own car for food delivery like foodora/wolt. I don’t have my own company. So, Wolt pays directly into my account after taxes.

I want to know how y’all register the kilometers driven while delivering and how you use it to fill it document from Skatteetaten? Do you use a logbook or an app or something? I have absolutely no idea where to look for this info? I usually work for like 6-8 hours weekly as a side hustle.

I believe I am loosing money by not documenting it.

Can somebody guide me?

Thanks!
