Wolt
Delivery marketplace and Wolt Drive courier service, run from Helsinki
Wolt is a Finnish delivery platform for restaurants, grocery and retail, active in more than 25 countries with a strong position in the Nordics, Baltics, Central Europe and Japan. Merchants sell through the Wolt app and can use Wolt Drive to deliver orders from their own website. DoorDash (US) acquired Wolt in 2022, but the company continues to operate from Helsinki.
Our reading. Best for restaurants and retailers in the Nordics, Baltics and Central Europe that need the dominant local delivery marketplace and optional white-label couriers.
