What are the hours and when should I call?

Wendy's operates the call center for this 800-443-7266 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 1,294 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
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. Again, this is based on a sample of 1,294 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 Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday.

The best time to call

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 this Wendy's Customer Number

I placed a mobile order on Wendy's mobile app and the local restaurant says they didn't receive it. I showed it to the restaurant, but they said they still couldn't make it and I would have to call corporate. This annoyed me, but I went ahead and paid for my food a second time and then called the corporate line to get the first order fixed. That was a mess, but eventually, I was able to get through to the right person. 

When I called, an automated live agent said, "Thank you for calling the Wendys restaurant support center. If you know the extension you are trying to reach, please enter it now. If you are a customer of one of our restaurants and need assistance from our care term, please press 1. If you are an employee calling about your tax forms, please press 2. For all other inquiries, please press 3 to be connected to an operator." 

Then it thanked me for calling and said they were experiencing longer than usual wait times. I figured that meant that I was going to be transferred to a helpline, but instead more questions came. 

The agent then said, "Please listen carefully to the following options so we can best direct your call. If you are calling to complete the Wendy's service survey, please press 1. If you are an employee please press 2. If you are calling with questions or feedback about a Wendy's item, please press 3. If you are calling about an experience at your local Wendy's restaurant, please press 4. If you are calling with questions about a mobile or delivery order, please press 5." 

After I pressed 5, I got a new set of questions and then it hung up on me. I had to call back a second time, listen through all of the messaging, and then this time I finally was able to get to a helpline.
