Great platform! They are able to improve the DX (developer experience) year after year and update their products to make building and hosting websites tremendously easy.
Building such a thing is not that a high effort, reliability, extensibility and scalability are the things which are not easy to implement. For a small scale like hobby projects it definitely makes sense to use such stuff but not for things where you want to press a button to provision new nodes in different regions with e.g. GKE Autopilot or Render.com. Like things where you rely on a bulletproof CDN e.g. from Vercel or Netfliy.
Absolutely! And they have a truly excellent customer service and reply within minutes. If you have any problems with your order (be it related to the delivery time/estimate or the product itself), they are quick to compensate (usually with credits or a delivery voucher).
On the other hand, rumor has it, their commission is around 30 % of all sales in addition to the delivery charged directly from the customer.
Cool, excited how the market will grow in Germany/Berlin. I really prefer Wolt over Lieferando in Germany. The user experience is way nicer, you have pictures of the meals which you want to order. The only thing which I miss is that you can't filter directly for vegan/vegetarian meals.
Wolt employee here - would be happy to help you with the Vegan/Vegetarian filter. We have a Vegan category of venues, and you can directly search for vegan/vegetarian restaurants as well. Is the issue in particular dishes?
Got it. The issue isn’t then in finding restaurants with v/vg options, but instead finding those items in the menu? We haven’t standardized the tagging in menus too much in Germany yet, but this would definitely help. A separate category for v/vg would be another solution. Let me take a discussion on this with the team and see how this could be improved. Also happy to take any suggestions.
I mostly struggle, when I have a specific restaurant open, some restaurants have an own category for that (vegan/vegetarian) and some add it as a text to the meal description. For some you have to choose e.g. a vegetarian patty to make a burger vegetarian - I'm confused with this mostly.
A feature which i would really like is a list of all the meals which I can order nearby restaurant independent and filter them e.g. by vegetarian/vegan ones to discover new restaurants.
This is something we have been looking into - to be able to search not only nearby restaurants, but also nearby dishes matching the search criteria. I can’t promise an exact date of release, but definitely a highly requested feature. In the meantime I’ll see what we can do to clarify available vegan options more clearly before selecting an item.
Great, looking forward to it! Something like a food recommendation tool would also be nice. "Since you ordered A from B and C from D you probably also like meal E from restaurant F".
I think they extended it fairly recently, I also live in Neukölln and fell outside of the delivery area before Christmas at least. But I did a quick check after reading the article, and now everything seems to be working.
