Industrial city
city type
Mielec has sixty-one thousand residents and an aviation heritage, plus a large economic zone that draws workers from the whole region. Plants run on shifts, so demand doesn't stop at the classic lunch hour — it also picks up when people finish a later shift and don't feel like cooking. Weekends add the usual home demand, independent of any factory schedule.
Restaurants cluster downtown, around the market square and main shopping streets. You'll deliver to housing estates, which are plentiful and fairly compact here, plus toward the industrial zone and airport, where distances jump right away. The Wisloka River and its green belt mark the eastern edge of everyday routes.

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.
What to do if the customer doesn't answer the door?
Try calling through the app first — the customer's number is hidden, but the call goes through. At Bolt Food the rule is three contact attempts and ten minutes of waiting; at Uber Eats the app counts down seven minutes. The exact sequence is always shown in the app itself. Then report it to support — once they confirm, you either leave the order at the door or take it back to the restaurant. How that trip is paid is decided by the app's own support.
Which transport is best for courier work?
In big city centres a bike beats a car because of traffic and paid parking zones. A scooter is the middle ground when you want to work the peak hours. A car pays off on the outskirts and with heavy shop orders. An e-scooter works well in compact centres over short distances.
What should you do if your vehicle breaks down or you crash mid-delivery?
Look after yourself first and call for help if you need it — the order can wait. Then message app support: the job gets cancelled or handed to another courier, and on Glovo you can ask a second courier to collect the food for you. Don't log out — platform insurance only covers you while you are online. If you rent your vehicle from the settlement partner, servicing and a replacement car are included in the rental.
How quickly can you start earning after registering?
Bolt Food usually activates the account the same day or the next one, Uber Eats within 24–72 hours. With Wolt and Glovo it all depends on whether the city is recruiting right now. Once you have access to the app you can take your first order the same day. The faster you gather the documents, the sooner you start.
