Small city
city type
Slubice has about 17,000 residents, and the town genuinely merges with the German city of Frankfurt an der Oder across the bridge. Students at Collegium Polonicum, cross-border trade, and everyday traffic in both directions make it a much busier place than the population alone suggests. Orders come in waves, and the weekend is stronger here than in a typical town of this size.
Pickup points concentrate in the centre and around the border crossing, where food outlets and shops are densest. You'll deliver to housing estates, a student dormitory, and single-family housing stretched along the roads out of town. The Oder marks the edge of the zone — you work the Polish side, so the bridge is the point beyond which orders don't go.

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.
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.
Do you need experience to become a courier?
No experience required. You need a phone, a means of transport, a thermal bag and a basic feel for the city — the app teaches you the rest. The first 1–2 days can feel chaotic (no-lift buildings, confusing addresses), but after a week the routine clicks. Everyone started from zero.
What happens if you decline orders often?
It depends on the app. Bolt Food has the only officially published threshold — an 80% acceptance rate — and a low rate sits outright on its list of reasons for blocking an account; missed offers count the same as rejected ones. Wolt officially doesn't penalise declines and publishes no threshold, though it does show you an acceptance indicator, and on Uber Eats declining carries no consequences. On Glovo your acceptance share feeds the Excellence Score, which decides how early you get to book slots.
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.
