Nowa Sol is an industrial city on the Oder river with around 40,000 residents. Glovo is the main food delivery platform here, which means less competition than in bigger cities and a clear path to steady orders if you show up at the right times. The compact layout works in your favour — short distances between restaurants and customers help you complete more deliveries per hour.
For beginners, the rule is simple: pick Friday through Sunday, work the lunch and dinner peaks, and use a powerbank because Glovo drains your phone fast. Always check the order number at the restaurant before leaving — staff mix up bags more often than you'd think.

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.
How does the courier rating system work?
Every platform scores your work: acceptance rate, delivery time, customer feedback. A higher rating gives priority when booking slots (especially on Glovo) and unlocks bonuses. Be polite at the door, deliver on time and avoid cancelling accepted orders — your rating will take care of itself.
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 for several apps at the same time?
Wolt, Uber Eats and Bolt Food combine easily — you accept the best order and pause the others while delivering. Glovo always runs separately because it requires shift booking and penalises missed slots. Multi-apping is the standard courier strategy — it eliminates idle time between jobs.
Can students work as couriers?
Yes, courier work is one of the best part-time jobs for students. You choose when you work, so it fits around your timetable. People under 26 are exempt from income tax up to 85 528 zł per year and don't pay ZUS on civil contracts — almost everything you earn stays in your pocket.
