city type
Hajnowka sits on the edge of the Bialowieza Forest and lives off it: timber, tourists coming to see the bison and reserves, and Orthodox culture with the cathedral in the background. Twenty-two thousand residents, a clear spring-summer season, a long quiet winter. Couriers are few, so a single order counts for more than in a city where they flow nonstop.
Restaurants sit downtown, along the main streets, and near the station. You deliver to apartment blocks downtown, houses on the outskirts, and guesthouses where forest-bound visitors stay overnight. In summer you'll often get an address the customer can't describe well - best to ask them to clarify at pickup.

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.
What should you do if your vehicle breaks down or you crash mid-delivery?
Look after yourself first and call for help if you need it — the order can wait. Then message app support: the job gets cancelled or handed to another courier, and on Glovo you can ask a second courier to collect the food for you. Don't log out — platform insurance only covers you while you are online. If you rent your vehicle from the settlement partner, servicing and a replacement car are included in the rental.
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.
Can you work through the winter and what changes?
Winter is the strongest season: November and December bring the highest multipliers and the best quests, while summer is a clear low point. Order volume rises because people stay in, and plenty of couriers simply skip the cold and the snow. Warm touchscreen gloves, a waterproof jacket and decent boots pay for themselves within two shifts. On icy roads a bike or e-scooter gets risky, so many couriers switch to a car for the winter.
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.
