Kalisz competes for the title of Poland's oldest city, but day to day it's a solid, industrial hub of about 100,000 on the Prosna river, with textile traditions and factories running shifts. Ostrow Wielkopolski is close by, forming one metro area with Kalisz, so residents commute between the two daily.
Pickups cluster around the Main Market Square, downtown, and the malls, where most restaurants are. You deliver to the large estates ringing the center, single-family neighborhoods, and addresses along the roads out of town. The Prosna cuts through the city in several channels, so bridges and tight streets can create bottlenecks.

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.
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.
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.
Can you rent a vehicle instead of buying one?
Yes — the settlement partner rents out e-bikes from 210 zł per week (Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław, Łódź, Bydgoszcz, Tricity) and an electric delivery car from 150 zł per week in Warsaw. Servicing, tyres, inspections, OC and AC cover and a replacement car in case of breakdown are all included. The rate depends on the city, and an advisor checks availability when you register. It's a sensible way in if you'd rather not buy your own vehicle straight away.
Can you combine delivery with a full-time job or studies?
Yes, and that's the most common setup. Wolt, Bolt Food and Uber Eats have no slots — you log in when you're free and log out whenever you want. In your city from 28 September 2026 Glovo also runs without booking hours, so you fit deliveries into whatever windows you have, with no planning ahead. One more upside: if you already have another job, ZUS contributions on the delivery contract are lower.
