Wolt Comments
From this survey, it is clear that time is a major factor in the household chores of 2021 Japanese families. In particular, the reality that many people have less than 30 minutes of free time per day at home is one of the issues that Wolt must contribute to solving. Some people cited the cost burden of delivery fees as a hurdle to using delivery services, but as the survey highlighted, the time spent slacking off and relaxing is worth more than 1,500 yen. We hope you will take advantage of Wolt's delivery service to suit your lifestyle.
