Small city
city type
Ostrow Mazowiecka has twenty-three thousand residents and sits along one of the busiest routes in the country. Life moves quietly, centered on downtown and local plants, and the streets empty fast in the evening. Orders come in waves: a short midday bump and a noticeably stronger evening block. Summer slows the town down, as some residents head away.
Restaurants stick to downtown, around the market square and the main streets. Deliveries go to apartment blocks and scattered single-family housing, with some addresses already out by the ring road. On top of that come grocery orders from bigger stores, which in a small town can make up a surprisingly large share of a shift.

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.
How do tips work and does the courier keep all of them?
Tips come on top of the delivery fee — 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 — treat them as a nice extra rather than part of your rate.
Is it safe to work in the evening?
Evenings are the most profitable part of the day and most couriers ride shift after shift without a single incident. Phone numbers are hidden on both sides and all contact goes through the app, so the customer never sees your number. Cash is the real risk: hand your takings in during the shift instead of carrying them around until the end of the day. Settlement-partner support runs 7 days a week in Polish, English, Ukrainian, Russian and Turkish.
Can you rent a vehicle instead of buying one?
Yes — the settlement partner rents out e-bikes from 210 zł per week (Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław, Łódź, Bydgoszcz, Tricity) and an electric delivery car from 150 zł per week in Warsaw. Servicing, tyres, inspections, OC and AC cover and a replacement car in case of breakdown are all included. The rate depends on the city, and an advisor checks availability when you register. It's a sensible way in if you'd rather not buy your own vehicle straight away.
What to do if the restaurant order is wrong?
Always check the order number on the receipt before leaving — 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 — your rating won't suffer if you react quickly.
