Industrial city
city type
Sosnowiec has about two hundred thousand residents, and the border with Katowice is so blurred you barely notice crossing it. The old mining character has given way to offices, retail and services, so the day spreads out evenly with no real season. The city's stretched-out shape matters more than its population — one end to the other takes a while.
Restaurants cluster in the center, near the station and around the big shopping centers. You'll deliver to Pogon, Zagorze, Srodula and other districts, each living its own life with its own concentration of customers. Picking the right login zone matters more than the hours you put in — from the wrong spot, getting to the pickup can take longer than the delivery itself.

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.
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, branded logos aren't required.
Can two people work on one account?
No. Sharing an account and passing yourself off as someone else are listed outright among Bolt Food's reasons for blocking, and it usually ends with losing the account for good. Apps check this: registration requires a selfie with your ID, and Uber sometimes asks for one right before you go online. If you want to work together, set up two separate accounts — both can sit with the same settlement partner.
Is it worth using your own car, and who pays for fuel?
Fuel, servicing and parking are on you — since July 2026 Glovo no longer accepts expense invoices for fuel, parts or gear. A car earns its keep on the outskirts, on large grocery orders and in winter, while a bike usually wins in a tight city centre. Valid motor third-party cover (OC) is mandatory and platform insurance doesn't replace it. The settlement partner also offers its own insurance packages (OC, AC, NNW, assistance) for people driving for apps.
How does the Glovo bonus system work?
Glovo adds bonuses for working peak hours, bad weather and completing a target number of deliveries in a given period. Bonus amounts vary by city and week. Active promotions show up in the earnings tab — check before you book a shift.
