Nowa Sol grew out of a river port and industry on the Oder, and while the factories have changed hands, the rhythm of shift work has stuck around. Forty thousand residents, an economic zone by the ring road, and plants running multiple shifts create demand shaped differently than in an office town. Business picks up at lunch and again after the afternoon shift ends. Students don't drive the evenings here — work does.
Restaurants and food spots cluster downtown, around the promenade and the central square. You'll deliver mainly to apartment blocks and toward industrial areas and supermarkets by the arterial roads. The riverside boulevard comes alive in summer, bringing addresses closer to the water, especially on weekend afternoons. A few company addresses order again, week after week.

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.
Do you need experience to become a courier?
No experience required. You need a phone, a means of transport, a thermal bag and a basic feel for the city — the app teaches you the rest. The first 1–2 days can feel chaotic (no-lift buildings, confusing addresses), but after a week the routine clicks. Everyone started from zero.
How much does a thermal bag cost and where do you get one?
The settlement partner gives you a thermal bag for free — you don't need to buy one. The platforms themselves neither hand out nor sell equipment. If you already have your own bag from another app, you can ride with it: all that matters is that it holds temperature, branded logos aren't required.
How does the Glovo bonus system work?
Glovo adds bonuses for working peak hours, bad weather and completing a target number of deliveries in a given period. Bonus amounts vary by city and week. Active promotions show up in the earnings tab — check before you book a shift.
Can two people work on one account?
No. Sharing an account and passing yourself off as someone else are listed outright among Bolt Food's reasons for blocking, and it usually ends with losing the account for good. Apps check this: registration requires a selfie with your ID, and Uber sometimes asks for one right before you go online. If you want to work together, set up two separate accounts — both can sit with the same settlement partner.
