Augustow is a small tourist city of around 31,000 people, known for the Augustow Canal, lakes, and the nearby border with Belarus. In summer the city fills with tourists and order volume jumps significantly. Winter is quieter but lake and forest tourism still brings steady demand on weekends.

Glovo and Uber Eats both operate here. Glovo pays cash right after delivery and runs on booked slots, so you handle it separately. Uber Eats you switch on whenever you have time and pick up orders in the centre. Running both means fewer idle gaps — when one app is quiet, the other usually has something.

Frequently asked questions

How much can you earn as a food delivery courier?
Average rate is 30–50 zł per hour depending on city, time and weather. The best weekend evenings can pay 60–80 zł/h. Earnings depend on order volume, distances and active bonuses on the platform. Working 6–8 hours per day during peak windows produces a solid monthly income.
What documents do you need to work as a courier?
Basics: a valid ID or passport, PESEL number, and a Polish bank account for payouts. Non-EU foreigners also need a residence card, work-permit visa or UKR status (for Ukrainians). Cars and scooters require a driver's licence and vehicle papers. The whole verification runs online, usually through a fleet partner.
How does registration work and how long does it take?
You register online with a fleet partner — fill in a form, upload documents, sign the contract. The partner activates your account on the chosen platforms. The whole process takes 2–7 working days. Bolt Food and Uber Eats are fastest; Wolt and Glovo sometimes take longer due to verification. Once active, you can ride the same day.
Do you need experience to become a courier?
No experience required. You need a phone, a means of transport, a thermal bag and a basic feel for the city — the app teaches you the rest. The first 1–2 days can feel chaotic (no-lift buildings, confusing addresses), but after a week the routine clicks. Everyone started from zero.
Can you work without speaking Polish?
Yes — most apps support English, Russian and Ukrainian. Contact with restaurants is usually limited to showing the order number, and customers only see the delivery address. A few simple Polish phrases help at pickup but are not required. Fleet-partner support also operates in Russian and Ukrainian.
What to do if the customer does not answer the door?
Try calling through the app — the number is hidden but the call works. If they don't pick up for 5–8 minutes, send a message and contact support. After confirmation you can leave the order at the door or return it to the restaurant. You will be paid the full delivery fee.
Can students work as couriers?
Yes, courier work is one of the best part-time jobs for students. You choose when you work, so it fits around your timetable. People under 26 are exempt from income tax up to 85 528 zł per year and don't pay ZUS on civil contracts — almost everything you earn stays in your pocket.
