city type
Bytom ran on coal for decades, and it still shows in the city's fabric: a hundred sixty thousand residents, old workers' housing colonies, trams, and districts that used to be separate settlements. Many people from Bytom now work in Katowice, so the biggest rush comes in the evening, when the city fills back up. Weekend evenings are strongest.
Restaurants stick to the center — the market square, the pedestrian street, and around the mall. Deliveries take you to Miechowice, Szombierki, Stroszek, Karb, or Bobrek, each with its own character and access routes. Grocery orders come in regularly, especially on weekends. Some addresses are in old buildings without elevators, so leave extra time for the stairwells.

Frequently asked questions
How much can you earn as a food delivery courier?
You typically take home 25–55 zł an hour depending on the city, time and weather — that is after deductions, not gross. On Uber Eats in heavy rain or snow it can reach 60–80 zł/h: fewer couriers are out and the orders pile up. Your result depends on how many orders you accept, the distances and the bonuses running in that app. You see the rate for every job in the app before you accept it.
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 settlement partner.
How does registration work and how long does it take?
You sign up online with a settlement partner — fill in the form, upload your documents, sign the contract. The partner then activates your account in the apps you chose. Bolt Food usually the same day or the next one, Uber Eats within 24–72 hours. With Wolt and Glovo the timing depends on whether your city is currently recruiting couriers — if it is, that's a couple of days. Your advisor checks this before you gather any paperwork.
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 doesn't answer the door?
Try calling through the app first — the customer's number is hidden, but the call goes through. At Bolt Food the rule is three contact attempts and ten minutes of waiting; at Uber Eats the app counts down seven minutes. The exact sequence is always shown in the app itself. Then report it to support — once they confirm, you either leave the order at the door or take it back to the restaurant. How that trip is paid is decided by the app's own support.
Do you need a powerbank while working?
A powerbank is essential — apps with GPS drain your phone in 3–4 hours. Without a working phone you cannot accept orders or reach addresses. Pick a model with at least 10 000 mAh and fast charging. Keep a spare cable in your bag.
What happens if you decline orders often?
It depends on the app. Bolt Food has the only officially published threshold — an 80% acceptance rate — and a low rate sits outright on its list of reasons for blocking an account; missed offers count the same as rejected ones. Wolt officially doesn't penalise declines and publishes no threshold, though it does show you an acceptance indicator, and on Uber Eats declining carries no consequences. On Glovo your acceptance share feeds the Excellence Score, which decides how early you get to book slots.
