Rybnik has about 140,000 residents scattered across more than twenty districts — formally one city, in practice a patchwork of estates, mining colonies, and former villages. Mining shifts stretch the working day, so orders come both in the early afternoon and late evening. Summer brings extra traffic around the reservoir, drawing people from the whole area, and the city also acts as the subregion's shopping hub, so Saturdays bring in residents from neighbouring towns.

Food outlets sit downtown, around the market square and the shopping centres, and that's where most pickups happen. You'll deliver to Boguszowice, Chwalowice, Niedobczyce, and other districts separated from the centre by several kilometres of fields and forest. That's the defining trait of this city: a short list of restaurants and long drives. Grocery orders from supermarkets come up regularly too.

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.
Do you need a powerbank while working?
A powerbank is essential — apps with GPS drain your phone in 3–4 hours. Without a working phone you cannot accept orders or reach addresses. Pick a model with at least 10 000 mAh and fast charging. Keep a spare cable in your bag.
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.
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.
What should you do if your vehicle breaks down or you crash mid-delivery?
Look after yourself first and call for help if you need it — the order can wait. Then message app support: the job gets cancelled or handed to another courier, and on Glovo you can ask a second courier to collect the food for you. Don't log out — platform insurance only covers you while you are online. If you rent your vehicle from the settlement partner, servicing and a replacement car are included in the rental.
