Skierniewice sits at the heart of the most orchard-heavy region in the country, and it shows year-round. With about 49,000 residents, horticultural institutes, food processing, and a seasonal influx of orchard workers, autumn simply brings more people to town — and with them, more orders. A great rail connection to Warsaw and Lodz also means a group of customers who come home late.

Venues cluster in the centre and along the main shopping streets, with a few extra pickup points at the big-box retail zone. You'll deliver to block estates in the city centre, single-family homes on the outskirts, and addresses around the station, one of the more important spots here. There are also occasional trips to institutes and hotels, where the order gets left at reception.

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.
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.
Can you work through the winter and what changes?
Winter is the strongest season: November and December bring the highest multipliers and the best quests, while summer is a clear low point. Order volume rises because people stay in, and plenty of couriers simply skip the cold and the snow. Warm touchscreen gloves, a waterproof jacket and decent boots pay for themselves within two shifts. On icy roads a bike or e-scooter gets risky, so many couriers switch to a car for the winter.
Can you choose orders or are they assigned randomly?
Each platform works differently. Wolt and Bolt Food show the order before you accept — you can decline if it is too far or pays too low. Glovo auto-assigns orders while you are online — in your city from 28 September 2026 with no slot to book, you simply go online.
What to do if the customer doesn't answer the door?
Try calling through the app first — the customer's number is hidden, but the call goes through. At Bolt Food the rule is three contact attempts and ten minutes of waiting; at Uber Eats the app counts down seven minutes. The exact sequence is always shown in the app itself. Then report it to support — once they confirm, you either leave the order at the door or take it back to the restaurant. How that trip is paid is decided by the app's own support.
