At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we’re building the delivery of (almost) everything and you’ll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.
Working at Wolt isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely exciting. Here you’ll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You’ll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you’re a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.
Storefront is Wolt's white-label online ordering solution, the Merchant's own digital channel, powered by Wolt tech. It's part of the MerchantOS offering: customers reach the Merchant's branded ordering experience through their website, social media, Google profile, or in-store QR codes, while checkout, payments, support, and the courier network are handled by Wolt under the Merchant's brand.
Storefront coexists with the Wolt Marketplace and serves a different consumer: the loyal customer who orders directly from the Merchant.
Next up: whitelabelled native apps, AI-generated branded sites, and a broader e-commerce offering for any Merchant who wants their own online channel.
