How to choose a settlement partner for Pyszne
Pyszne is changing the way it works with couriers — more and more people now settle through a settlement partner rather than directly with the platform. You pick a partner once and then pay them every week, so it is worth ten minutes of your time. Below are the questions to ask before you sign, and the warning signs worth spotting early.
Seven questions worth asking any partner — and six signs that you are better off walking away.
Not ‘the commission’ but the full list of deductions: more frequent payouts, a second app, certificates, the annual PIT.
Work permits, support in your language and a proof-of-income certificate can matter more than the price.
You can change partner in every app and it costs nothing — only the speed differs.
What a settlement partner actually does
Signs a contract with you so you can ride legally without setting up a company of your own. Registers you with ZUS (the state social insurance body) and pays your income tax advances.
Collects your earnings from the apps and transfers them to you, on a cycle the two of you agree. A good partner lets you cash out more often than once a week.
Activating your app account, documents, the annual PIT (income tax return) and, for foreigners, help with legalising your stay and your right to work.
Seven questions to ask before you sign
Ask all of them, and ask for the answers in writing — a message will do. A partner who dodges specifics at this stage will not get any more specific once the contract is signed.
Exactly what does the settlement cost, and what is included?
In courier work this is usually a flat fee per settlement period rather than a percentage of your earnings — percentages are the taxi model. Ask whether the price covers one app or all of them, and what happens in a week when you make no deliveries at all.
What is the full list of deductions?
Not ‘what is the commission’ — the full list. These are often charged separately: more frequent payouts, a second and any further app, a proof-of-income certificate for an office or a bank, filing your annual PIT, reactivating your account after a break, and sometimes a ‘joining fee’. These are the items that make the difference between the headline figure and the real one.
Is the rate fixed, or a promotional starting price?
A common pattern: the first month is cheap or free, then the price goes up. Ask outright what you will be paying in month three, and whether the partner can change the price list on its own.
How fast and how often do you pay out?
Weekly settlement is the standard. More and more firms offer daily or on-demand payouts — but check whether they cost extra, and at what time of day the money actually lands.
What kind of contract is it, and what about ZUS and tax?
Usually an umowa zlecenie (civil-law contract), sometimes combined with a vehicle rental agreement. Ask them to explain what the contributions come to in your situation: a student under 26, someone with another full-time job and someone with no other employment pay completely different amounts. Ask about voluntary sickness insurance too — without it you get no benefit if you are injured.
Do you help with residence and work permits?
For a foreigner this often matters more than the price. Check whether the partner files the work-entrustment declaration (oświadczenie o powierzeniu pracy), whether they help with your karta pobytu (residence card), and whether support is available in your language rather than in Polish only.
Can I leave, and how quickly?
The most important question, and almost nobody asks it. Ask about the notice period, who settles your final month, and whether there are penalties for leaving. It is also worth knowing that how fast you can move depends on the app — in some it takes a day, in others you wait until the end of the month.
Red flags
‘Settlement from just 10 zł (Polish złoty)’ usually means you will actually pay three times that. An honest offer has one number and a list of what that number covers.
If you ask for the full list of charges and get ‘we will explain everything at the office’, that is not an answer. Ask for a message, or for a price list on their website.
In some apps the amount you see is the net amount — deducting VAT from it is simply taking money out of your pocket. Other apps are settled under the reverse charge, where the VAT really is inside the figure you see and the partner has to pass it on. Ask how it works in your app, and compare the amount deducted with what your summary shows.
‘You will earn 8000 zł a month’ is not an offer, it is an advert. No partner has any influence over the number of orders or over the app’s rates.
Without a signed document you have neither insurance nor any proof of the terms you are working on. You should be able to read the contract before you sign it, not after.
When your account gets blocked or a payout fails to arrive, a Polish-language helpline at 9:00 is rarely enough. Check whether there is an office in your city and whether you can message a chat in the evening.
What a good settlement partner should give you
Below are the things the best firms on the Polish market treat as standard today — and worth asking about, because not every partner offers all of them.
The best partners let you take your earnings as a BLIK cheque: you generate the code in the app at any hour and collect the cash from an ATM — even on a Saturday evening, without waiting for a transfer to land. Control question: are more frequent payouts charged extra?
One contract covers Glovo, Wolt, Uber Eats, Bolt Food and Pyszne at once, and you see all your settlements in one place. Just check what the second and third app cost — at some firms they are cheaper, at others you pay the full rate.
When your account gets blocked or a transfer does not arrive, talking to someone in person can be faster than a helpline. The biggest firms have offices in a dozen or more cities — check whether yours is one of them.
Help in Russian, Ukrainian and English, the work-entrustment declaration, help with your karta pobytu, and a proof-of-income certificate for an office or a bank. For a foreigner this matters more than the price of the settlement.
You can rent an e-bike or a car for deliveries, with servicing and insurance included. Ask about the weekly rate and whether it covers maintenance and a replacement vehicle.
Couriers moving over from Pyszne usually get a welcome bonus and a thermal bag, and for referring a friend a one-off bonus plus an extra amount for every active week they ride. Ask for the terms in writing: bonuses often come with a delivery target attached.
A medical card with a sports package, fuel discounts, insurance. A nice extra, but never a reason to turn a blind eye to high deductions.
What partners will not tell you unprompted
How fast you can change partner varies between apps: Uber Eats switches you over almost immediately, Glovo in two or three days, Bolt Food within a day, after a request to support in the app, and Wolt only once the month has ended — and there both partners, the current one and the new one, have to file the request.
Bolt Food does not operate in every city — in Szczecin and Bydgoszcz you will not find it among Bolt’s services, so the promise of ‘several apps at once’ looks different there than it does in Warsaw.
In Wolt an account is only activated while your city is recruiting. Recruitment is sometimes closed, and then your registration simply waits — a good adviser will check this before you gather all your documents.
Since summer 2026 Glovo has settled couriers only on an umowa zlecenie or B2B — the vehicle rental contract is gone. If a partner is still offering you the old model, that is a sign they are not keeping up with the changes.
No partner has any influence over the app’s rates or over the number of orders. The only thing they affect is how much of your earnings is left after deductions — and that is the only thing worth comparing.
What the settlement really costs
For couriers this is most often a flat fee per settlement period — across the market it comes to a few dozen zł, and a second app usually costs less than the first. If you are hearing about double-digit percentages of your earnings, it is either the taxi model or a contract with vehicle rental, where that figure also covers the car or the bike. So compare the amount that will actually disappear from your weekly settlement, not the slogans.
What is changing at Pyszne
For years Pyszne was the exception on this market: couriers worked to a schedule on an hourly rate, with no middleman. The Scoober model is now closing city by city, through to September — until it closes in your city you ride on the old terms, and after that the orders run through a settlement partner. The maths changes too: instead of an hourly rate you get a fee for each specific order, shown in the app before you accept it and quoted gross. Declaring your availability stays, and turning an offer down carries no consequences — the order simply goes to another courier. The platform has also said that rates will differ between cities, that it does not plan to guarantee any minimum level of earnings in the first months, and that cash payments are not being introduced. Equipment issued under the old model stays with the couriers, and nobody will charge you for it.
Why it pays not to leave this until later
Settlement partners have been told how many orders they are expected to cover and have a limited number of places. The closer your city gets to the switch, the greater the risk that your chosen firm has no places left. The platform itself does not guarantee that every current courier will sign a contract — the decision to take someone on rests with the partner. So it is better to choose calmly now, with time to read the contract, than in a rush in the final week.
Already delivering and want to change partner?
You can change partner in every app, and the change itself costs nothing. Only the speed differs: in Uber Eats the switch goes through almost immediately, in Glovo it usually takes two or three days, in Bolt Food within a day, after a request to support in the app, and in Wolt it only takes effect once the month has ended, with both partners filing the request. Do not terminate the contract with your old firm on your own until it has settled your current period.

Who courier work with Pyszne suits
What you need to get started
Only an adult can become a courier. There is no upper age limit.
Polish citizens — an identity card. Foreigners — a passport plus a document confirming legal residence: a karta pobytu, a visa or PESEL UKR (the PESEL number issued to Ukrainian citizens).
Android or iOS with a Polish phone number — it runs the courier app and your contact with the customer.
A bike, an e-bike, a scooter or a car. If you do not have your own, you can rent the kit from the partner.
Without one the restaurant will not hand over the order. No app cares about the brand — any thermal bag will do, including the one left over from your last app.
You do not need one to deliver by bike.
This is where payouts from your settlement partner land.
Pyszne is not the only option
One settlement partner can cover several apps at once, so you can fill the hours between the peaks. See how they differ and what choosing an app really changes in your city.
Common questions
Do I need a settlement partner to work for Pyszne?
Under the new model the work goes through a settlement partner — they sign the contract with you and handle the settlements. The alternative is your own działalność gospodarcza (sole proprietorship), but for most couriers that is the more expensive and more time-consuming route.
Can I use one partner for several apps?
That is usually how it is done — one contract covers every app you ride for. Just ask what each extra app costs: at some firms the second app is cheaper, at others you pay the full rate for each one.
How can I tell that a partner is trustworthy?
They have a clear price list on their website, a contract you can read before signing, an office you can walk into, support in your language, and they appear on the app’s official list of partners. Reviews are worth reading, but what counts is not the star rating — it is whether someone describes a specific situation: a late payout, a blocked account, no response.
Does changing partner affect my app account?
The account stays yours; only the firm that settles with you changes. Your delivery history, your stats and your time on the app do not disappear.
Who settles my last week with the old partner?
The firm you were with — which is why it is not worth tearing up the contract before they have paid you what you are owed. You close the matter only after that final transfer.
I am a foreigner — what should I watch out for?
Three things: whether the partner prepares the documents that make your work legal, whether support comes in your language, and whether they will help when an office asks you for a proof-of-income certificate. Next to that, the price of the settlement is a secondary matter.
