city type
Olawa has thirty-three thousand residents, plants along the road to Wroclaw, and plenty of people commuting to the Lower Silesian capital. The town empties out in the morning and fills up after five — that's when a courier's real work begins. Weekends run steadier, since residents stay put and order throughout the day.
Restaurants cluster downtown, around the market square and along the main shopping streets. You'll deliver to apartment blocks, to new developments on the outskirts, and to businesses in the industrial zone. The Oder and Olawa rivers mark the town's edges, so some addresses require a detour to the nearest crossing — closer on the map than in reality.

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.
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.
Is it worth using your own car, and who pays for fuel?
Fuel, servicing and parking are on you — since July 2026 Glovo no longer accepts expense invoices for fuel, parts or gear. A car earns its keep on the outskirts, on large grocery orders and in winter, while a bike usually wins in a tight city centre. Valid motor third-party cover (OC) is mandatory and platform insurance doesn't replace it. The settlement partner also offers its own insurance packages (OC, AC, NNW, assistance) for people driving for apps.
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 — they pay for themselves in one shift.
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.
