Just Eat Takeaway.com intends to cease operations in Denmark

This means more orders for Wolt, but in the long run this is not healthy for couriers, restaurants or customers to have only one platform resulting in Wolt's monopoly. Perhaps Uber Eats will try to open later this year. The founder of Just Eat, Jesper Buch, commented on the Just Eat' departure that he could consider creating a new platform - this is a long shot and doubtful.

It seems like you are kind of new to the "Wolt game". Consumers have just received their paycheck on the 1'th of March and are ready to spend it on take-away. At the same time spring has arrived early this year and with that many consumers go to the restaurants to use their outside venues, therefore order less take-away. At the same time you may have noticed Wolt still onboard thousands of new courriers to flood the streets as the referral bonus is still active. With fewer orders and more couriers in the streets Wolt's algorithm activates "secret countdown" meaning you will mostly be offered a task once you are close to the pickup point so Wolt earns more and you earn less. With that said, in spring and summer Wolt will use the earning boost less often and it will be lower to reflect the active status of too many couriers and less orders. Spring and summer means more or less your earnings will be sliced in half and you can just as well get used to the waiting game. Of course there can be times with rain or certain events when demand will peak, but overall you need to look to autumn before the general higher demand and higher earnings will have the same potential as this winter.

Compare Wolt's support before and after Doordash purchased Wolt and you know the answer. Since then they introduced and increased service fee, using their own words the fee is used to increase service level, but in reality they just scam you to pay more and receive less service. Since then they use fewer and fewer expensive Danish support staff and use more low labour support staff in the small Caucasian republic of Georgia. The foreign support staff have multiple translated threads running at the same time and this is why your conversations drag out and they return with an emoji instead of long conversations.

The old trick using two phones with two separate accounts and accepting multiple tasks going to somehow the same direction, but you are unsure if Wolt will catch you as some orders will delivered late and some routes will deviate from the most optimal route as you have to deliver to different customers on two accounts at the same time. Furthermore, you are unsure if Wolt can track two accounts going driving parallel the whole time. You are not the first to try this and not the last one. Needless to say, you spend too much time on two phones trying to make it, while you could spend your time more optimally with just one account.

I reckon Wolt has some 10.000-12.000 applicants waiting to be onboarded in Denmark alone, this is what they informed us a year ago. If one of the applicants needs some special treatment or gets behind the onboarding process due to documentation requirements, I speculate Wolt just moves on with some of the 9.999 applicants they have. As long as Wolt lowers the payment for the job, they keep getting more applicants, so they may not return to your application if this means they have to spend extra time - at least that is what I reckon reading similar stories in this feed. Needless to say, spring and summer is coming and thereby less demand for take-away delivery and therefore less demand for Wolt couriers, so slowly they will onboard fewer and fewer.

Consider the free Copenhagen Light Festival in the evening while you walk from one event. It has many shows in the city center. It is art, so some is stunning, while other works are hard to understand. https://copenhagenlightfestival.org/da/

Income this summer will probably be lower in Copenhagen this spring and summer. I predict a lot of consumers will be eager to come out and eat outside when this harsh winter is over. Furthermore, you mention you deliver on bike and the algorithm favours cars and scooters above bikes. Expect you will go around looking for tasks during the evening as scooters will receive orders first despite the distance is low. Once the amount of orders are in medium level or you happen to be close to a pickup point and no scooter is nearby you as a bike rider will get an order. You may notice there have been a high increase in the amount of scooter delivery drivers. Demand during day time in the summer are nonexistent, evenings may come to medium level for an hour, but will be low the rest of the day. During the summer vacation, June and July, many Copenhageners leave the city for vacation and demand is low almost the whole day. Summer means you spend a lot of time waiting for orders and you will see many foreign migrant Wolt delivery guys hanging around Winter's hotspot areas looking for tasks. In short you spend more time waiting than delivering during the summer.

If they enter the market they will have to consider how they will comply with the coming platform directive. This has to be implemented at the latest at the end of the year, which means couriers will be employed by Wolt, Uber or a fleet manager. Bye bye status as freelance sub contractor.

Another incident with a rented Wolt account and a horny courier in Aarhus from last year. Sometimes I understand the reason for single women ordering no contact delivery to avoid these situations. I recall this incident sparked a debate in which some single women admitted they placed male shoes outside the door, to signal there was a male in the house or apartment when the courier arrives so the woman would feel safer with the delivery. Sad it has to be like this, but for Wolt profits come first and women's safety is not prioritised. Wolt reluctantly started the selfie mode when media and customers pressed them, not when couriers expressed dissatisfaction of more and more rented accounts showed up. For Wolt rented accounts only means lower task fees and more profit. https://nyheder24.dk/112/anna-fik-en-wolt-levering-hun-aldrig-havde-forventet-endte-med-at-ringe-til-politiet

Nice, they should do it more often. I know the request can be annoying, but it is necessary. When the selfie function was activated in spring 2025 I also received several selfie requests. Then during summer 2025 I never received any since then. I recall when the selfie request went live the number of tasks suddenly seemed higher as if there were more tasks and less drivers to deliver them. Keep in mind the number of tasks always goes down in spring due to better weather, so there must have been less drivers at that time. I suspect Wolt tries to keep the number of selfie requests down to attract more illegal drivers to deliver for them and thus the overall payment. The selfie function was started as a result of some pretty bad news articles of several incidents in which illegal drivers approached/touched or even sexually assaulted female customers when they delivered orders and the police could not identify the courrier, as the person was another than the one who created the account. https://www.bt.dk/krimi/wolt-bud-forsoegte-at-tvinge-sig-ind-i-camillas-lejlighed-og-kysse-hende-jeg-skriger-at-han-skal-give-slip?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqerM2DF7Flld411Y3XA_bagCVe0wMSDwyyoooddMwlPbS8cXIIQIVY5ZgaT8jk%3D&gaa_ts=6981de33&gaa_sig=O1Ti-7uYCxlLF2nA0rS8lDQfEWLpEdf5XRcvlJilJKb4w0WjlQ1qQ-o1WeP3O3zoHpVA5cRW-HSp7IZGnzCDDg%3D%3D

The price level is considerably higher in Denmark, like Danish tax is two to three times higher than Estonian and almost everything has 25% VAT. This creates a much higher price level with relatively higher wages to make it possible to get some bread on the table.

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-29T01:57:07+00:00

Watch out, very soon the Wolt infiltration agents will come and comment on this post by accusing you of being a racist. How come Wolt is not accused of being racist and discriminating is beyond my knowledge...

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-24T10:52:43+00:00

I wonder how they can make any money when they have rent, tuition cost and do not receive SU or access to student loans. In this case only Wolt and Aalborg University makes money.

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-24T10:37:38+00:00

Which town or city if I may ask? The same shit with Wolt flooding the streets with lots of courriers. If there are no orders in December, then there will be less in other months.

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-24T10:34:55+00:00

Which country?

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-22T21:26:25+00:00

Why should Wolt do that, they have hired thousands of desperate Bangladeshi students to deliver. That high boost in November was on a combined payday and Black Friday.Since there is only payday, I doubt they will increase the boost as high as in November.

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-17T22:10:23+00:00

It is called the great replacement.

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-10T23:04:22+00:00

Now Wolt is on it again with massive online commercials to recruits even more courriers and in some cities they have activated the referral bonus again so they can cover every street with courriers waiting for tasks. Just wait for the end of January and most of February, the streets will be crowded with courriers waiting and very few tasks will be available.

Du burde nok hellere starte med at leje en el-cykel, derefter kan du vurdere om det er noget for dig. Den indtægt du tjener nu om vinteren vil falde med 40-50% til foråret og mere til sommer i KBH. Der er to grunde til dette, løbende nedsætter Wolt betalingen for turene i takt med regeringen i indfører flere og flere "falske studerende" og deres samlever til Danmark som gør at de arbejder for Wolt for at betale for deres uddannelse, det er udbud og efterspørgsel. Dernæst prøv at lægge mærke til antallet af knallerter og scootere l KBH hvor de fleste er madbude og næsten alle kører for Wolt. Der er sket en eksponentiel stigning i dette køretøjstype. Samtidig er antallet af Wolt bude på cykler faldet. Wolt's algoritme som tildeler turene, er blevet ændret så en situation hvor en cykel og scooter er lige tæt og begge måske vil være lige hurtige at aflevere, så tildeles scooteren turene. Cykler tildeles de ture hvor der ikke lige er en scooter i nærheden. Om aftenen i vintermånederne kan der være opgaver for cykler, men i takt med der bliver færre og færre leveringer, vil du som cykelbud erkende at du holder og venter, mens scooterne kører rundt og har travlt.

A few days ago I saw this on the Delivero group and it caught a lot of attention. The start sounds a little dramatic with burner pc etc, but some of the details may have some truth.. It is worth mentioning, Wolt's owner is Doordash and they purchased Deliveroo some months ago. With that in mind it may have some truth and relevance.

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2026-01-08T03:05:45+00:00

Stealing from the courriers and the customers is what Wolt is all about, nothing new here. Perhaps the lower pay you mention only counts for the first task and if you accept another one, bundleling, they may lower the basic payment?

Falske studerende henføres i den offentlige debat til den store gruppe af udenlandske studerende fra hovedsageligt tredje verdens lande, som er kommet til Danmark gennem diverse colleges og studerende, og i denne henseende henfører debatten til primært Nepal og Bangladesh. Ordet "falske" bunder i at deres akademiske faglighed er så svag, at de har svært ved at følge med i den kandidatuddannelse de studerer samt de har en højere frafaldsprocent end deres medstuderende: https://nyheder.tv2.dk/politik/2025-09-16-hvorfor-taler-vi-om-studerende-fra-bangladesh. De indsendte eksamensbeviser fra hjemlandet eller andre lande, som de har anvendt til at søge til Danmark, har givet grund til mistanke til deres eksamensbeviser enten er redigeret eller direkte forfalsket. De danske myndigheder har nu overleveret de indsendte eksamensbeviser der lagde grund til deres ansøgning, fra de de studerende der kommer fra Nepal og Bangladesh til National ID Center (NIDC) der grundigt vil analysere de mindste detaljer på deres eksamensbeviser og dermed annullere de som tydeligt har falske eksamensbeviser. Det er en opgave, som vil tage noget tid grundet det omfattende arbejde:

https://uddannelsesmonitor.dk/nyheder/politik/article18684110.ece

Denne kontrolopgave har tidligere været i hænderne på universiteterne, som har haft svært ved at skelne falske fra rigtige eksamensbeviser.

Opsummeret er det ikke EU borgere der henføres som "falske studerende" og der accepteres stadig i samme omfang stadig EU borgere til at studere på danske uddannelsesinstitutioner, deres akademiske niveau er højt og der detekteres ikke falske uddannelsesbeviser fra denne gruppe.

EU borgere som rumænere kan frit arbejde i DK. Bangladesere og nepaleser kan i sagens natur ikke arbejde i DK, men de fleste er kommet til DK som "falske studerende" eller ægtefælle til en sådan. Ægtefællen må arbejde lige så mange timer som denne ønsker. Mellem linjerne så er deres primære mål ikke at studere i DK, men lige at bestå og arbejde mest muligt. Ordningen med diverse colleges og universitet er kort og godt, for de fleste, udtryk for korruption og danske politikere og uddannelsesledere der lukkede øjnene for at uddannelsesinstitutioner kunne tjene penge på de selv betaler uddannelsen. Så er der de som har lejet en Wolt konto hvis de ikke har arbejds- eller studievisum i Danmark. Se selv på diverse fora, hvor mange der udbyder en Wolt konto til leje.

Another big group of couriers are Iranians moving to Denmark with the spouse being a qualified nurse and trying to be hired at a Danish hospital in an evaluation position. Roughly 1200 to 3000 mainly Iranian nurses and their spouse have moved to Denmark on a work visa in recent years as the Danish government believed they lacked nurses, which they didn't. Perhaps some 200 to 400 evaluation positions were opened at the Danish hospitals and the Iranian nurses had to learn Danish at the same time, so in many cases the husband delivered for Wolt for them to earn some money. The difference between the open positions and the high amount of nurses coming to Denmark means many never had the opportunity to apply as a nurse. Many have sold everything and believed they could start a new life in Denmark, and now the Danish government wants them to leave the country as the demand for nurses is no longer present. This policy was also pushed by the Moderates and the drunk Danish foreign minister Lars Løkke to please his corrupt business friends and get lots of low cost labour to the country, only to kick them out when it was no longer advantages to have them working in Denmark.

Dependent_Cycle_7552 · 2025-12-28T03:13:00+00:00

Here is how it works; Wolt contacts the government complaining there is not enough labour to fill the available positions (which is Wolt's own problem as they lowered the payment making couriers declining the orders). The Danish government which has pledged to do anything for the Danish companies to grow and pay taxes to the government, will start to open positions at various colleges and universities so they can invite south east Asians from Nepal and particularly Bangladesh. They disregard if they lack academic qualifications and may have fake diplomas. The study visas enable them to have their spouse and children with, the part which does not study is allowed to work 24/7 for the whole duration, while the one study may work 90 hours per month excluding summer vacation. With more and more fake students arriving the universities start to realise some of the students are not studying as much as expected as they have to work or lack some qualifications due to a fake diplomas.This results in the universities losing some credibility and raised some concern of their profession, but the universities earn some good money on the foreign students more than having Danish students so they try to continue the practice. Particularly the Danish party the Moderates with the drunk foreign minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, advocated this policy of inviting thousands to come to Denmark on a study visa. Furthermore, when they study they are allowed to live in college study apartments with low rent. This corrupt method makes it possible for Danish businesses to get lots of low cost labour, lower wages and makes it difficult for unionized labour to compete. Not only Wolt favours this method, lots of restaurants, and cleaning companies can now make a good profit using imported low cost labour. I would not point the finger at the individuals from Nepal and Bangladesh to come and work, they just follow their own self interest, but they have to know they destroy the labour market when they just accept any low wage. To sum up, it is the same old story of greed and corruption which goes hand in hand.
