Pleszew has 17,000 residents in the middle of Wielkopolska — a town small enough to cross on foot, yet people still order food regularly. It runs on light industry, retail and daily commuting to Kalisz. Orders come in waves tied to mealtimes and differ noticeably between weekdays and weekends, with things picking up from Thursday evening on.

Restaurants sit around the market square and the main streets leading out of the centre, with a few more near the bigger shops. Customers are mostly estates on one side of town and single-family houses on the other, plus workplaces that order lunch on weekdays. You can cross the whole town in a few minutes flat.

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, a 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). For a car or scooter you also need a driving 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 they are currently recruiting couriers in your city — if they are, it usually takes a few days. Your consultant will check this before you gather any paperwork.
Are couriers insured while working?
Uber Eats covers couriers with free Allianz insurance during deliveries, and an extended version goes to riders who complete 150+ deliveries in 8 weeks. Wolt insures through an external provider, but the cover only runs while you are logged in. Glovo offers insurance through its loyalty programme, which is not available in every city. Your own motor third-party cover (OC) is still on you — platform policies don't replace it.
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; a company logo isn't required.
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.
Which days of the week are most profitable?
Friday, Saturday and Sunday usually deliver 2–3× more orders than Tuesday or Wednesday. Evenings between 18 and 22 are strongest, lunch 12–14 is the second peak. The end of the month is slower because people watch their spending. Paydays, match weekends and holidays are good times for longer shifts.
