city type
Gliwice is Silesia's technical side: a technical university with thousands of students, offices, factories, and an economic zone by the highway junction. On workdays, activity kicks off at lunchtime, driven by offices and plants alike. From October to June students add demand, and in summer much of it leaves town.
The heaviest concentration of kitchens is around the market square and old town, plus the malls near downtown. Deliveries go to estates around the center, the campus and dorm area, and by day to offices and factories along the roads out of town. The Gliwice Canal and its port sit at the edge of your map, not the middle.

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.
Which transport is best for courier work?
In big city centres a bike beats a car because of traffic and paid parking zones. A scooter is the middle ground when you want to work the peak hours. A car pays off on the outskirts and with heavy shop orders. An e-scooter works well in compact centres over short distances.
How much does a thermal bag cost and where do you get one?
The settlement partner gives you a thermal bag for free — you don't need to buy one. The platforms themselves neither hand out nor sell equipment. If you already have your own bag from another app, you can ride with it: all that matters is that it holds temperature, branded logos aren't required.
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.
How quickly can you start earning after registering?
Bolt Food usually activates the account the same day or the next one, Uber Eats within 24–72 hours. With Wolt and Glovo it all depends on whether the city is recruiting right now. Once you have access to the app you can take your first order the same day. The faster you gather the documents, the sooner you start.
