city type
Oswiecim has thirty-eight thousand residents, chemical plants on one side of town, and the Sola river running through the middle. The Memorial brings visitors here from around the world, all year long. Day to day, though, a courier's work is shaped mainly by residents, shift work, and the ordinary rhythm of the week. The season changes order numbers surprisingly little.
Restaurants sit mostly downtown, around the market square and the main streets. You'll deliver to housing estates, single-family homes, and industrial areas. Some addresses are hotels and guesthouses hosting visitors to the Memorial — you handle them like any other job, with a reception desk and room number instead of an intercom.

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.
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.
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 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.
How do cash orders work?
Bolt Food brought cash back in 2026 across every Polish city — you need no float and no change, and you hand takings in at restaurants on later pickups. On Uber Eats cash is deducted from your next cashless payouts, and you can switch it off completely in the settings. Wolt caps the cash you can hold at 300 zł; go over that and your account drops offline. On Glovo cash settles outside the settlement partner, so if something doesn't add up, message platform support.
