Default Foodora and Wolt

In the "big cities" in Sweden and Finland
(i.e., the capitals and one or two others) one
can now use a "smart"phone to order restaurant
food straight to one's home. And not just the
local pizza car, any restaurant!

There are many advantages to this: you
don't have to leave the comforts of your home
and confront the outside world, you don't have
to tell a fellow human what you would like to
order, and you don't have to mind your table
manners, clothes, posture, etc.!

Seriously, the positive thing about it is that
the food is delivered by bike, so there are now
a couple of such jobs around. The salary is
100-110 SEK an hour - this is very low, tops
~($13, £10, or €12), and then there are taxes -
however the job is pleasant enough, and it
should suit people with projects, educations,
and so on very well as such people still need
a small income to get by.

There is the German Foodora which has 350
people riding bikes, and the Finish Wolt which
has 70.

The Foodora bikes don't have chainguards or
even fenders which is probably due to their
continental influence, because the Wolt
ones do.

The riders wear colorful outfits with
logotypes, and helmets.
