Delivered.
Wolt makes it incredibly easy for you to discover and get what you want. Delivered to you – quickly, reliably and affordably.
What is this Wolt thing anyway?
Founded in Helsinki, we are a technology company known for our local commerce platform. Wolt's mission is to make cities better places for customers, merchants and couriers alike. Wolt's platform makes it easy for customers to order whatever they need on one app, for merchants to make additional sales, and for couriers to make meaningful earnings flexibly. To enable this, Wolt develops a wide range of technologies from local logistics to retail software and financial solutions, as well as operates its own grocery stores under the brand Wolt Market.
In November 2021, we announced that we’re joining forces with the US-based company DoorDash. The transaction closed in May 2022, and since then we have been one team with DoorDash. Our CEO, Miki Kuusi leads all of DoorDash’s international business in the 26 countries outside of the US.
Together our aim is to build the best possible platform to serve merchants, consumers, and couriers in our existing and future markets. Our two companies share a strong vision for local commerce, and working side by side, we can accomplish more for all our stakeholders.
Companies usually have a “mission and vision”. What are ours?
Wolt is – essentially – building new infrastructure. We build a connection between restaurants and retailers that want to make and sell food and other products, couriers that want to earn through delivering those products, and customers who want to free up time and effort to focus on the more important things in life. By doing this, we make our cities also better places to live. And by “better” we mean happier people: happier small enterprises that have more business and that can employ more people, happier couriers that have a flexible way to earn when they choose, happier customers who now have easy access to a great meal or anything else they need, exactly when and where they need it - and who get to save some of their precious time while they are at it.
Our vision is to build the digital world version of the shopping malls we used to frequent, this time brought to the convenience of our homes and workplaces within the half-hour or so. We started with the food court on top the floor, and have since expanded to groceries on the ground floor along with all the other shops, stores and boutiques in the middle – and we’re still only getting started.
So, yet another food delivery company?
Actually not quite. Wolt got started on the far edge of the Scandinavian Peninsula, in the relatively small and spread out city of Helsinki. While Finland is a great country to live in, food delivery was an especially tough nut to crack in our Nordic home region
All in all, these mean that our home market of the Nordics was one of the toughest places in the world to find a sustainable balance between our customers, restaurants and courier partners, as well as with ourselves as a company. Ultimately, this has meant that we’ve had to figure out ways how to get there differently from others
What operating sustainably and finding the right balance means for us?
We are committed to make the cities we operate in better places to live. We are also committed to do the right thing towards our teammates, partners, customers, and the general public.
