#2As almost-daily user of Wolt, I'm interested to see how this will impact me. Maybe I finally won't have to pay 3 euros for McDonalds to get delivered for a 10minute walking distance.

That sounds about right for the administrative overhead. The expensive bit isn't the walk.

As someone who has used both Wolt and DoorDash I would say don't hold your breath on decreased fees. Probably it'll just get more opaque and restaurant menu prices will increase 10-20% while the additional fees stay the same so they can book more revenue without you feeling like you're paying more (because who is also googling the restaurant menu at the same time to compare?)

It definitely won't get cheaper. 3 euros seems a completely reasonable price for this delivery.

This is exactly what I see happening. Restaurants are increasing prices to cover the “Wolt tax”. My local McDonald’s does this.

They also take up to 30% from the price of the food, in addition to the delivery fee.

Can confirm, I work in the POS space and most of the restaurants we work with increase their prices to cover the comission charges from the delivery service. DoorDash has a policy that pickup prices have to match in-store (restaurants are still charged comission though), but delivery can be marked up by whatever you want.
That and the extra service fees they charge to customers (they are a lot more in the US [0]), means you can end up paying double what it would be if you got off your ass and walked down the street to order :-)

#9Gross. Wolt was in my mind one of the less amoral delivery services. It's delivery staff are (soon to be were I'm sure) actual employees.

Is 3 euros such a high price to pay someone to bike over to the restaurant and bring you a still warm meal?
