Siemiatycze has about 15,000 residents at the junction of Mazovia and Podlasie, close to the border. It's a small town, but with its own rhythm: transit traffic, local businesses, and plenty of people who work away from home. For a courier that means a calm but steady stream of orders — no crowding, no race to the door, and a real chance you're the only one on the line at any given moment.

There are only a few pickup points, all close together, in the centre and along the through-roads. Deliveries go to estates, single-family housing, and addresses on the outskirts where the town fades into countryside. The farthest run is only a few kilometres, so a day organises itself with almost no dead mileage. Some addresses are along the exit road, with a gate and yard instead of a stairwell.

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.
Can you work without speaking Polish?
Yes — most apps support English, Russian and Ukrainian. Contact with restaurants is usually limited to showing the order number, and customers only see the delivery address. A few simple Polish phrases help at pickup but are not required. Fleet-partner support also operates in Russian and Ukrainian.
What mode of 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 unlocks bonuses and better conditions in the apps. In your city from 5 October 2026 Glovo needs no slot booking, but the metrics still count. Be polite at the door, deliver on time and avoid cancelling accepted orders — your rating will take care of itself.
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.
