city type
Mlawa has thirty thousand residents and ranks among the most industrialized centers in northern Mazovia β large manufacturing plants employ people from across the county. Shift work shapes demand differently than in an office town: waves arrive with the end of each shift, and the classic dinner rush is just one peak among several.
Restaurants cluster around the old market square and the main downtown streets, with a separate group along the national road toward Warsaw and Olsztyn. You'll deliver to housing estates and quiet single-family streets, with plenty of runs heading straight to factory gates. Supermarkets along the ring road generate grocery orders, especially on Friday afternoons, when store lines start piling up.

Frequently asked questions
How much can you earn as a food delivery courier?
You typically take home 25β55 zΕ an hour depending on the city, time and weather β that is after deductions, not gross. On Uber Eats in heavy rain or snow it can reach 60β80 zΕ/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 β 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 24β72 hours. With Wolt and Glovo the timing depends on whether your city is currently recruiting couriers β if it is, that's a couple of days. Your advisor checks this before you gather any paperwork.
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 β you log in when you're free and log out whenever you want. Glovo needs hours booked in advance, so a fixed day job takes some planning. One more upside: if you already have another job, ZUS contributions on the delivery contract are lower.
Can you work without speaking Polish?
Yes β 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.
How do tips work and does the courier keep all of them?
Tips come on top of the delivery fee β 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 β treat them as a nice extra rather than part of your rate.
What to do if the restaurant order is wrong?
Always check the order number on the receipt before leaving β 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 β your rating won't suffer if you react quickly.
