① About Wolt

After launching its services for the first time in 2014 in Helsinki, Finland, Wolt has already expanded to serve over 100 cities in 23 different countries (as of December 2020). The food delivery service made its debut in Japan in Hiroshima in March 2020, after which it has expanded to provide service in eight cities in six different prefectures throughout the country. Now available starting in select parts of the city of Fukuoka’s Chuo, Hakata and Minami wards, the service plans to continue to extend its delivery area as well.

One of the defining features of Wolt’s delivery service is that it works with a great variety of area restaurants known and loved by the local population. Upon its Fukuoka launch the service’s partner restaurants include some 80 popular local restaurants including Hakata Daruma, Umeyama Teppei Shokudo, Pizzeria da Gaetano, Moomin Bakery and Cafe, and more.

④ What sets Wolt apart from the competition?

Wolt was first established in Helsinki, Finland, a somewhat challenging environment for the food delivery service industry thanks in part due to factors such as its low population density and bad weather. In order to provide efficient delivery service even under such harsh conditions, Wolt has adopted a unique system which incorporates top-notch algorithms in the industry so that its delivery partners may provide even more efficient service, with super speedy average delivery times of about just 30 minutes. Wolt also provides a chat support service which guarantees a response within just one minute to allow for speedy resolution of any issues between users, partner restaurants and delivery partners while gathering the feedback necessary to continue to improve their services and achieve only the highest quality customer experience.
