Resort town
city type
Krynica-Zdroj is the most famous spa town in Poland, and its rhythm is set by health-resort guests, not the school calendar. Ten and a half thousand residents form the baseline, and summer and autumn add thousands of sanatorium guests on top — unlike ski resorts in the mountains, traffic here spreads out more evenly across the year.
Orders go mainly to sanatoriums and guesthouses along the Kryniczanka valley and to venues in the centre, where guests and tourists spend their evenings out walking. Picking up from restaurants near the promenade is quick, while deliveries to sanatorium buildings tend to take longer, given how stretched out the town's layout is.

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.
How do tips work and does the courier keep all of them?
Tips come on top of the delivery fee — Bolt Food states officially that the courier keeps 100%. Wolt also adds tips on top of the payment for the job. Uber Eats is the weak spot: since 2024 customers in Poland effectively have no way to tip through the app. Don't budget around tips — treat them as a nice extra rather than part of your rate.
Is it safe to work in the evening?
Evenings are the most profitable part of the day and most couriers ride shift after shift without a single incident. Phone numbers are hidden on both sides and all contact goes through the app, so the customer never sees your number. Cash is the real risk: hand your takings in during the shift instead of carrying them around until the end of the day. Settlement-partner support runs 7 days a week in Polish, English, Ukrainian, Russian and Turkish.
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 taxes and contributions does a courier pay on an umowa zlecenie?
Under 26 no income-tax advance is withheld — that is the ulga dla młodych relief, capped at 85,528 zł a year; you do not need student status for it, only the age. ZUS contributions are a separate matter: only pupils and students under 26 are exempt — for them gross equals net. If you are under 26 but not a student, roughly 19% is deducted from an umowa zlecenie (pension, disability and health). After 26 the 12% income tax is added on top.
