Small city
city type
Gubin sits on the Lusatian Neisse and is really half of one organism - the other half, German Guben, starts right past the bridge. With 17,000 residents on the Polish side, foot and car traffic crosses the border both ways for shopping and work next door. It's a quiet town where you take orders one at a time, without any rush.
Restaurants cluster downtown, near the ruined parish church and the streets leading to the border crossing. You deliver to housing estates, houses on the outskirts, and shops relying on customers from across the river too. The town is small enough that within days you'll know not just streets but specific gates.

Wolt Zielona GoraFrequently 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, a 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). For a car or scooter you also need a driving 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 they are currently recruiting couriers in your city — if they are, it usually takes a few days. Your consultant will check this before you gather any paperwork.
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.
How many orders do you realistically get per hour?
There is no single number — it comes down to the app, the zone and the time of day. Glovo advertises a near-continuous flow of orders and has the largest partner network, while Bolt Food has the smallest order pool, which is why it's usually kept as a second app. During the evening peak jobs come back to back; in the middle of a weekday you can sit idle for a long stretch. The app shows how many hours you were online and what you earned in that time — after a week you'll know your real pace.
Can you work at night?
Yes, though the hours depend on the city. In Warsaw Bolt Food takes orders until roughly one in the morning; in other cities usually until 23:00–24:00, and in smaller towns until 22–23. Late in the evening there are fewer couriers on the streets, so there can be more orders per person. Handy for students and anyone combining delivery with another job.
What should you do if the app blocks your account?
Only the platform can lift a block — your settlement partner has no access to it, so write to app support straight away. Bolt Food lists the reasons plainly: low acceptance rate, sharing an account, the wrong vehicle type, cash-settlement problems and poor ratings. You have the right to appeal a block, guaranteed by EU platform regulation. On Uber Eats, repeatedly arriving late at pickup also brings a temporary block — usually around 90 minutes the first time.
