Bytom is an old Silesian mining city with around 160,000 people, and that industrial character shapes the work. Factory and office workers order heavily during weekday lunch hours, and weekend evenings stay busy with home deliveries. Four platforms operate here: Glovo, Wolt, Uber Eats and Pyszne. You can run Wolt and Uber Eats together by switching between them; Glovo always works as a separate shift. For beginners, Bolt Food being absent actually helps — fewer apps means less competition for the same orders. A bicycle works well in the centre, but a car or scooter pays off for orders towards the outer districts and industrial zones. Just start — the first week is always the hardest, and that is normal for everyone.

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.
Which transport is best for courier work?
In big city centres a bicycle beats a car because of traffic and paid-parking zones. A scooter is the sweet spot during peak hours. A car works on the outskirts and for large orders from 9 kg up. An e-scooter is great in compact centres for short distances.
How much does a thermal bag cost and where to buy one?
A standard thermal bag costs 80–200 zł depending on size. Glovo and Wolt often hand out branded bags after your first deliveries or for a small deposit. Generic ones are available on Allegro, OLX or directly from the fleet partner. A 9+ kg model is useful for large grocery orders.
What to do if the restaurant order is wrong?
Always check the order number on the receipt before leaving — staff mistakes happen regularly. If something is missing or wrong, ask the staff to fix it on the spot. If you only notice later, report it through the app chat — your rating won't suffer if you react quickly.
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.
