Wolt: Latvians prefer traditional food on weekdays, but burgers and pizzas on holidays – Society, security

According to the data collected by the technology company “Wolt”, Latvians mostly like to order traditional food to their home or office on weekdays, and one of the favorite restaurants for choosing such dishes is “LIDO”. On the other hand, at the end of the week and on holidays, preference is given to meals such as burgers and pizzas.

From Monday to Friday, classic choices dominate, proving Latvians’ love for potatoes. Accordingly, on these days, fried potatoes or mashed potatoes, which are topped with chicken, are most often ordered, thus placing these dishes on the list of the most popular, which are usually ordered from “LIDO”. In addition, it can be seen that a complete meal is not complete without a dessert, of which coffee cream with vanilla sauce is at the top of the list. The second place is taken by the taste of childhood – oatmeal dessert with jelly, followed by churros, bread soup and curd pie with raisins.

“Unlike the usual scene where orders from various restaurants and cafes serving burgers, pizzas, sushi and other national cuisines are more frequent on weekends, “LIDO” maintains strong demand throughout the week, especially at lunchtime on weekdays. This means that Latvians prefer hearty, traditional meals on a daily basis – both the classic “LIDO” assortment and the assortment corresponding to modern taste trends, in which Latvian nuances are preserved at the same time. indicates Manta Lomsargismanager of “Wolt” in the Baltics.

It should be noted that those who like the “LIDO” menu do not limit themselves to just one dish, but most often buy more than four different dishes in one order.

“The pace of modern life, the ability to be flexible on a daily basis determines the desire of customers to simplify practical and household issues, thus the purchase of ready-made food facilitates this area of ​​life – as a result, it is beneficial both financially and saves time. Food delivery service has been a normal part of everyday life for several years, not a special extra, and should be offered by any competitive caterer. We highly appreciate the cooperation with “Wolt”, which ensures even greater availability of “LIDO” food for customers and the highest quality service that is so important to us. We see more and more growth in this segment going forward as well,” says the chairman of the board of “LIDO”. Rita Auziņa.
