Of course, we completely understand if you prefer to do all the dialing, waiting, and talking yourself. All of these free tools are optional.

What are the hours and when should I call?
Wendy's operates the call center for this 888-624-8140 phone number 24 hours, 7 days.The short answer is that you should call on a Monday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 345 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Wendy's call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Wendy's phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Wendy's staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Wendy's is Monday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 69% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 345 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Thursday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday.
In summation, the best day to call Wendy's is Monday.This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Wendy's staffs the call center well on Monday.
Calling Wendy's is completely ineffective outside of business hours on weekdays, as the company does not offer any kind of automated system or any kind of assistance with the number in these situations. In order to make a call to Wendy's, you must call between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern Monday through Friday. No Saturday or Sunday calls are accepted.
If you call at a time when Wendy's isn't open, you won't have any kind of ability to speak to anyone or ask the automated system for information. You'll be told that the hours of operation are what they are, and you'll be encouraged to visit the website for Wendy's to get assistance that way. After letting you know that you can go online to get assistance at any point, the system will automatically end the call.
There's no automated system of any kind except for the automated message letting you know that nobody is available to assist you. You won't be able to make any choices or ask the system for information. If you have a complaint on a weekend day, you have to wait until Monday to address it by phone.
Based on this, my view of this call was that even though it was unhelpful, at least it didn't waste any time. The system makes no attempt to pretend it can offer any help or take you through a menu. It simply gives you the information and ends the call. Based on this interaction, I would make sure to call within hours, but I would use this number for assistance, as the no-nonsense manner appeals to me.
