Glovo

Glovo was founded in 2015 in Barcelona by Oscar Pierre and Sacha Michaud as a multi-category delivery platform — from the start, the ambition was broader than food, covering pharmacy orders, grocery deliveries, retail pickups, and custom "anything" deliveries alongside restaurant meals. Operating primarily across Southern and Eastern Europe, West Africa, and Central Asia, Glovo has built a presence in markets underserved by global delivery giants, making it the dominant quick-commerce platform across much of its footprint.

The platform's courier network — Glovers — handles all deliveries, creating a real-time logistics operation that must coordinate order intake, kitchen preparation timing, courier dispatch, and live tracking simultaneously. Glovo has also built its own dark store network under the "Glovo Supermarket" brand, competing directly in the ultrafast grocery space alongside its restaurant marketplace. This operational complexity means a backend incident can cascade across multiple service types at once.

Glovo outages typically surface as restaurant menus failing to load, checkout errors blocking payment, courier assignment stalling after order confirmation, live tracking disappearing mid-delivery, and Glovo Supermarket inventory becoming inaccessible. For users in cities where Glovo is the primary food and grocery delivery option, an extended outage during meal times is a genuine disruption to daily routines.

Outage.gg tracks Glovo service disruptions through community reports across all its active markets. If you cannot order, your delivery is stuck, or the app is returning errors, check the live status page to confirm whether it is a platform-wide incident and get alerted when Glovo is operational again.
