Wolt + Edda: Optimize restaurant takeaway and delivery operations

About Wolt:

Wolt is a leading food delivery platform that connects restaurants with customers who want quick and easy takeaway or home delivery. With a user-friendly interface and extensive logistics network, Wolt helps restaurants reach new customers and increase revenue without having to handle delivery logistics themselves.

Challenges restaurant managers face with delivery and takeaway

Delivery and takeaway can provide significant increased revenue for restaurants, but many experience challenges such as:

• Unpredictable order volumes → It can be difficult to predict when during the day or week demand is highest, which can lead to either understaffing or capacity problems in the kitchen.

• High commission on delivery platforms → Restaurants often pay high fees to delivery platforms, and without good insight into profitability, this can eat into margins.

• No control over customer data → When orders go through Wolt, there is limited access to customer data, making it difficult to build loyalty and run own marketing campaigns.

• Weak connection between takeaway and shift scheduling → Kitchen staff is often scheduled based on restaurant traffic, but not always with higher volume from delivery orders in mind.

• Inventory management and waste → When takeaway orders are not connected to the inventory management system, restaurants risk either over-ordering ingredients or running out of items during rush hours.**
