city type
Nowy Tomysl has sixteen thousand residents, wicker weaving, mushroom farms, and a motorway right nearby. The town runs at a calm, predictable pace: empty streets in the morning, a short pickup at midday, busiest in the evening. The order market is small, so a single shift looks different than in a big city β you ride less often, but almost never wait in line for a job.
Restaurants sit downtown, around the market square and along the streets branching off it. Deliveries go mostly to single-family housing and small estates, with some addresses already out near the road leaving town. Grocery orders from bigger stores fill out the day, especially before the weekend. A few places along the road also catch passing travelers.

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.
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.
How much does a thermal bag cost and where do you get one?
The settlement partner gives you a thermal bag for free β 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.
Does weather affect the number of orders?
It really does. Rain, snow and cold push orders up because people stay home. Many couriers also stop working in bad weather, which means more deliveries for those who go out. Get a proper rain jacket and waterproof phone covers β they pay for themselves in one shift.
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.
