Small city
city type
Swiebodzice is a town that largely works somewhere else — Swidnica, Walbrzych, the nearby plants. That leaves the middle of the day genuinely quiet, with orders only picking up once trains and buses bring people back home. The evening, by contrast, gets surprisingly intense for a town this size. Weekends spread traffic more evenly, with a clear bump on Saturday night.
Everything revolves around the small center and the station area, which is where you'll find the restaurants. Customers live mostly in blocks and old tenements on both sides of the valley, plus newer development on the outskirts. The tenements often have no elevator and tight stairwells, so a backpack works better here than a big rigid-frame bag. Asking about the floor at pickup helps a lot — better than standing at the intercom with food already going cold.

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 happens to your account if you take a long break?
Wolt expects activity: without deliveries your account goes inactive, and getting it back runs through your partner and only while the city is recruiting. On Glovo your rank drops if you skip more than a week, and the Excellence Score counts the last 28 days — after a pause your metrics start from a worse level (there are no slots to book in your city from 5 October 2026). Uber Eats has no known deactivation rule for downtime and sometimes sends a bonus quest to pull you back. The safest habit is one delivery every couple of weeks.
What if the restaurant is running late with the order?
Mark in the app that you are waiting: Bolt Food pays for waiting time beyond 15 minutes, and Glovo adds a multiplier for time spent at the pickup point. On Glovo you can ask in chat for the order to be passed to another courier after a few minutes of waiting. On Wolt you can only cancel over a restaurant delay once 10 minutes have passed. The worst cases are big grocery orders from the likes of Biedronka or Carrefour, where the wait can run past half an hour.
Is it safe to work in the evening?
Evenings are the most profitable part of the day and most couriers ride shift after shift without a single incident. Phone numbers are hidden on both sides and all contact goes through the app, so the customer never sees your number. Cash is the real risk: hand your takings in during the shift instead of carrying them around until the end of the day. Settlement-partner support runs 7 days a week in Polish, English, Ukrainian, Russian and Turkish.
Can you combine delivery with a full-time job or studies?
Yes, and that's the most common setup. Wolt, Bolt Food and Uber Eats have no slots — you log in when you're free and log out whenever you want. In your city from 5 October 2026 Glovo also runs without booking hours, so you fit deliveries into whatever windows you have, with no planning ahead. One more upside: if you already have another job, ZUS contributions on the delivery contract are lower.
