Don't take our word for it

“Delivery is central to our growth strategy. Wolt consistently brings new customers and increases our visibility.”

Michael Drechnowicz, Oakberry Co-founder

“We look at the numbers every week. If something isn’t performing, we’ll tweak it: rename a dish, change a photo, or test a price.”

Mritunjay Kumar Verma, Co-founder of Desi Taco

“They order once at home, then they want to come see the place. It works like advertising.”

Mai, Owner of Miss Mai

“Bringing our own Shiso Burger experience home is what motivates us to rethink delivery. With Wolt’s given resources, we were able to focus on what we can do best - Asian inspired Burgers.”

Kevin Bao Vy Tran, Head of Operations
