Industrial city
city type
Gliwice is a Silesian technology hub with the Silesian University of Technology and many industrial sites, which means weekday lunch orders from factory and office workers stay busy. If you want a calmer start, this city gives you that — fewer crazy peaks than Warsaw, but solid steady demand. Weekend evenings around dinner time are reliable too, especially Friday and Saturday. Glovo, Wolt and Uber Eats all operate here. The smart move is to register with two or three at once — turn them all on, take the best order, then re-enable the rest after delivery. Bicycle works well for short central runs, but a car helps for the larger orders coming from business parks on the edge of town.

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.
Can you choose orders or are they assigned randomly?
Each platform works differently. Wolt and Bolt Food show the order before you accept — you can decline if it is too far or pays too low. Glovo auto-assigns within your booked slot, but you can decline without big consequences if your rating is solid.
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.
Does weather affect the number of orders?
It really does. Rain, snow and cold push orders up because people stay home. Many couriers also stop working in bad weather, which means more deliveries for those who go out. Get a proper rain jacket and waterproof phone covers — they pay for themselves in one shift.
Which days of the week are most profitable?
Friday, Saturday and Sunday usually deliver 2–3× more orders than Tuesday or Wednesday. Evenings between 18 and 22 are strongest, lunch 12–14 is the second peak. The end of the month is slower because people watch their spending. Paydays, match weekends and holidays are good times for longer shifts.
