city type
Copper built Lubin, and it's still the city's main employer — seventy-five thousand residents, mines, and plants running on shift schedules. For you that means demand behaves differently than elsewhere: waves arrive with shift changes, not just at the classic lunch or dinner hour. The rhythm, though, is very consistent.
Most pickup points sit downtown, around the pedestrian strip and the mall near the center. You'll mostly deliver to the large residential estates surrounding downtown on every side, plus the industrial areas and mine shafts on the outskirts. Zaglebie match days bring a short but intense peak around the stadium and nearby apartments, mostly right after the final whistle.

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.
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.
Is it worth using your own car, and who pays for fuel?
Fuel, servicing and parking are on you — since July 2026 Glovo no longer accepts expense invoices for fuel, parts or gear. A car earns its keep on the outskirts, on large grocery orders and in winter, while a bike usually wins in a tight city centre. Valid motor third-party cover (OC) is mandatory and platform insurance doesn't replace it. The settlement partner also offers its own insurance packages (OC, AC, NNW, assistance) for people driving for apps.
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.
How does the courier rating system work?
Every platform scores your work: acceptance rate, delivery time, customer feedback. A higher rating unlocks bonuses and better conditions in the apps. In your city from 28 September 2026 Glovo needs no slot booking, but the metrics still count. Be polite at the door, deliver on time and avoid cancelling accepted orders — your rating will take care of itself.
