Katowice sits at the heart of Silesia and that shapes the work day. Office and factory workers order heavily during lunch, so 12-14 on weekdays is your most reliable window. Friday and Saturday evenings stay busy with restaurant orders across the centre and surrounding districts.

All major platforms operate here: Glovo, Wolt, Uber Eats, Bolt Food, Pyszne and Stuart. A common approach is running Wolt, Uber Eats and Bolt Food together, with Glovo on a separate phone or shift. This way you pick the best paying order and turn the others off until you deliver.

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 work at night?
Yes — in bigger cities Bolt Food and Uber Eats run until 23–24, and Friday/Saturday often until 2–3 AM. Night rates can be higher because fewer couriers are out. It works well for students and people combining delivery with another job. Smaller cities usually wrap up by 22–23.
Can you work without speaking Polish?
Yes — most apps support English, Russian and Ukrainian. Contact with restaurants is usually limited to showing the order number, and customers only see the delivery address. A few simple Polish phrases help at pickup but are not required. Fleet-partner support also operates in Russian and Ukrainian.
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.
What to do if the restaurant order is wrong?
Always check the order number on the receipt before leaving — staff mistakes happen regularly. If something is missing or wrong, ask the staff to fix it on the spot. If you only notice later, report it through the app chat — your rating won't suffer if you react quickly.
