We use the first in first out method of accepting applications so it might take some time (up to 8 months) for your application to be approved.

Each task is priced individually based on many parameters such as navigated distances, time of day and whether an area is remote or not.

You will see the payment for each task before accepting/rejecting it so you can decide if it is worth accepting it.

Each task is has a unique payment. Before you accept or reject it you can see all information needed that will help you choose whether you will accept it or not:

1. Upfront pricing

2. Pick up and drop off locations

3.Sum of navigated distance of the task (both pick up and drop off distance)

4. When the order will be ready for pick up

Venue/customer delay

When there is a delay in the order caused by the venue or the customer, +€1.20 compensation is added to the courier partner's 15 minutes of waiting, which increases by +€0.50 for every 5 minutes beyond the first 15. The compensation is added only in case you have contacted Support and delivered the order!

In case the customer pins their location wrong and you need to go to another address or you need to return the order to the venue you will be refunded 1€/km (given that in-between locations distance is further than 500m). This distance is measured in straight line.

Delivering during peak hours can maximize your earinngs. Also, accepting all tasks might be a good strategy to earn more.

Tips through customer app are 100% compensated to you. Tips given to you in cash by the customer are also 100% yours. They are also excluded by taxation rates.

Apart from the state insurance, Wolt provides private insurance to all freelancers (Onsi). This private programme compensates for certain kinds of injuries to you as long as you were online and delivering with Wolt when the accident happened.

Useful information:

1. To register for the insurance program, you fill in the necessary information in the link that you will find in the email that Onsi sent you at the beginning of our cooperation (sent automatically about 1 week after your first distribution). If you can't find the email that Onsi sent you, you can search for it under the title “Register for your free Wolt Insurance Protections”.

2. The insurance covers possible bodily harm to you but not to third parties or your vehicle.

3.We urge you not to play with your safety. Please wear a helmet and have your vehicle well maintained. If you are tired you can stop the deliveries and go home to rest.

Personal hygiene Personal hygiene is essential for food hygiene and safety and yours. It is important to follow the following:

• Please do not make deliveries if you are sick

• Maintain safe distances (2m) in gathering areas (e.g. while waiting for your order at the restaurant)

Disinfect your hands after any distribution or activity that may compromise hygiene such as: (eating, smoking, gas station, using cash, toilet, coughing)

Vehicle and equipment cleanliness

It is essential to keep the carrier bag clean by removing any debris or old food containers.

We recommend disinfecting it on a daily basis. The inner bags are washable and we recommend washing them on a weekly basis.

Do not keep personal items in the main compartment of the box. Use the side pockets for this purpose.

You can replace worn or dirty equipment in the warehouse.

The mobile phone is a source of germs and you need to disinfect it every day. Order management

Keep the products of the order sealed (as you received them). If you notice that the seal is damaged, contact Support before handing over

Place the bags correctly in your box so that they are stable and do not move during transport.

If the transport products are at different temperatures, use the shelf to separate the cold from the hot.

In case you are transporting products of a chemical nature, we recommend that you transport them in a separate plastic bag, at the bottom of the box.

Delivery to the customer should be as fast as possible but safety is the main priority.

We strongly advise all freelance couriers not to deliver when it is sunny and the temperature exceeds 38 degrees. If you however want to work, please take a note of the following tips:

Before you star delivering, please make sure that :

1. Wolt Courier Partner app has been given access to your location (image)

2. Battery saving mode is deactivated for Wolt Courier Partner app

Huawei smartphones do not support Google Play apps, meaning you cannot download Wolt Courier Partner app, so we do not suggest them! I phone 6 or older devices do not run the app as well.

You can either wait for the order until it is prepared or let Support team know that you it to be unassigned from you. Please wait for the final confirmation by Support team before you leave the venue.

In case you can't find the customer, you can call them in the app by pressing the relevant button. If you still can't find them after 3 calls and having 5 minutes passed, you can contact Support team for further guidance.

Please contact Support via your Wolt Courier Partner app.

Heavy orders are typically offered to courier partners that have declared they want to deliver them and are compensated better. In order to be offered such orders, you can notify us in the Wolt Courier Partner application in the section "Communication with the operations department".

In any case, if the order is too heavy to carry, you can contact the Support team and either ask them to remove it or call a second courier partner to help you. Remember that your safety always comes first!

Please take a picture and contact Support for further guidance before drop off.

You can mark the task as "completed" only after you have delivered the order to the customer. It is important to know that as soon as you press that the drop off is completed, the customer receives a notification to give feedback about items received and the delivery. In case you press completion earlier than real time, the customer is left with a bad impression as they have not actually received their order.

There is no direct way of reporting lateness to the venue. This information will have to go through Support team and then they will inform the venue on the late pick up. When this happens, the customer will also get an updated drop off time in the Wolt app.

The legal requirements vary from country to country and thus, the onboarding process is different for each country. Please contact our support team or support from the country you wish to apply to get further information.

1. OPAP Tora stores, where you can show the barcode you have received when you started receiving cash orders.
