“Wolt has truly made a big difference in Finland, bringing restaurants closer to families, especially during those chilly Finnish winters. Thanks to Wolt, we can enjoy all kinds of delicious food at home. For our chain of Japanese small restaurants, Wolt has been a game-changer. It's brought in a ton of customers we couldn't have accommodated in our restaurant, especially during the pandemic when our turnover doubled several times.” Mashiro, Finland
