In recent months, restaurateurs have been furious at the WOLT courier chain.
The anger was so great that, according to a Globes report earlier this week, an organization of restaurateurs was set up to set up a competing app.
Walt charges the restaurateurs a 27 percent commission fee, and today (Saturday) the company announced a reduction of the operating fee to 22 percent starting tomorrow and for the coming month.
Walt says that the reduction, which is estimated to cost millions of shekels, will allow for a subsidy of the delivery fee to restaurateurs from the beginning of the closure (Monday, December 28) and throughout January.
"This is a difficult time for the Israeli economy and the restaurant industry in particular," says Walt Israel CEO Lior Eshkol.
We hope that the move will allow hundreds of thousands of workers in the industry and thousands of supportive businesses to continue operating.
As is well known, the Walt company is intended to be a complementary platform for the activities of restaurants and not a substitute for sitting in them.
Once the restrictions made food delivery 100% of the restaurant's income, we helped restaurants in a series of moves, from a personal grant for each restaurant up to NIS 10,000 in the first closure, reduction of the fee in the second closure in cooperation with Bank Hapoalim, and in November and December cancellation Encourage ordering takeaways from restaurants.
Without the restaurants, Walt would not be able to survive.
We all hope that this difficult period will pass soon and we look forward to the day when we can go back and sit and spend time in restaurants. "
