Pila for couriers: the Gwda, roads 10 and 11, Atrium Kasztanowa

Glovo, Uber Eats and Pyszne on both banks of the Gwda

The Gwda river splits Piła into an eastern and a western half, and on both sides food is delivered by Glovo, Uber Eats and Pyszne couriers. The city has 68,762 residents (as of 31.12.2025). Since 28 September 2026 you no longer book slots in Glovo, and one settlement partner lets you mix apps.

A river valley, not mountains

Piła's lowest point is 50 m above sea level and its highest 134 m, so the height difference within the city is small. In 2014 it had 37.9 km of cycle paths. For daily work you will want your own bike, and a scooter or car for winter and longer runs.

Roads 10 and 11 and a paid centre

National roads 10 (Szczecin–Bydgoszcz) and 11 (Kołobrzeg–Poznań) run through Piła, and the western bypass is still being built. The centre has a paid parking zone: on weekdays 8:00–18:00 the first hour costs 2 zł, and in subzone A the first 30 minutes are free once a day.

Neighbourhoods across 102 km²

Piła covers 102.68 km². Most people live in Zamość, Górne and Śródmieście, while wooded Podlasie has the largest area (38 km²). Motylewo and Gładyszewo are sparsely built outskirts — a run there from the centre is several kilometres.

Atrium Kasztanowa and Vivo! by the station

Atrium Kasztanowa at al. Powstańców Wielkopolskich 99 has been open since 2007 and has a food court upstairs. Vivo! Piła, opened in 2014, has about 24,000 m² and sits close to the centre and the rail and bus stations. These two centres are the main pick-up points.

Light-bulb town and Staszic's birthplace

The old Lumen light-bulb factory grew into the Signify plant (formerly Polam and Philips Lighting), which in 2025 employed about 3,000 people in Piła and opened an R&D unit working on Philips Hue, among other products. Stanisław Staszic was born here, and his house is now a museum.

Questions about courier work in Pila

Do you have to book Glovo slots in Pila?
No. Since 28 September 2026 Glovo in Piła has worked without slots — you log in whenever you like, with no schedule. Besides Glovo you can deliver for Uber Eats and Pyszne (as of October 2026), and one settlement partner lets you combine several apps. Rejecting too many orders in Glovo can still cost you access to your account.
How much can you make delivering in Pila?
You typically take home 25–55 zł an hour — that is after deductions, not gross. With Uber Eats in heavy rain or snow it can reach 60–80 zł/h. Runs within Śródmieście and Zamość are short, while trips out to Motylewo or Gładyszewo on the outskirts take longer — keep that in mind when you choose your vehicle. Work out your own figure in the earnings calculator.
Is a regular bike enough for deliveries in Pila?
Across most of the city, yes: there is only about 84 m between Piła's lowest and highest points. By bike you can cover the centre, Zamość and Górne. For sprawling Podlasie, Motylewo and winter days, a scooter or car is more comfortable.
What should you watch out for on Pila's roads?
Piła is a junction of six railway lines, so some runs cross tracks or go over viaducts. The Gwda cuts the city in half, national roads 10 and 11 run through the centre and the western bypass is still under construction. If you drive, remember the weekday paid parking zone in the centre.
When do couriers in Pila get the most orders?
Peaks usually come at lunchtime and in the evening, with more work at weekends and on rainy or freezing days. That is the time to wait near Atrium Kasztanowa on al. Powstańców Wielkopolskich or Vivo! by the station, from where you can reach both sides of the Gwda quickly.
How do you register as a courier in Pila?
You sign up online with a settlement partner: fill in a form, upload your documents and sign an umowa zlecenie (civil contract). The partner then activates you in the apps you choose — Uber Eats usually within 24–72 hours. In Piła you can tick Glovo without slots, Uber Eats and Pyszne straight away — or pick just one of them.
