city type
Szczecin is big, sprawling, and split by water, so the job works differently here than in a city of the same size on a single bank. Universities drive the evenings, the port and offices hold down the noon hours, and the nearby border makes weekends unpredictable. The most important question in this city isn't how many orders there are, but which side of the Odra you're on.
Restaurants thicken up in Srodmiescie, around Plac Grunwaldzki and the avenues leading toward Waly Chrobrego. Deliveries fan out from there to Pogodno, Niebuszewo and the neighboring residential districts, while Prawobrzeze with Dabie is its own world — distant enough that it feels almost like a second city. Shopping malls add order volume throughout the day. The university districts stay lively longest.

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.
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.
Can you work for several apps at the same time?
Wolt, Uber Eats and Bolt Food combine easily — you accept the best order and pause the others while delivering. Glovo always runs separately because it requires shift booking and penalises missed slots. Multi-apping is the standard courier strategy — it eliminates idle time between jobs.
How many orders do you realistically get per hour?
There is no single number — it comes down to the app, the zone and the time of day. Glovo advertises a near-continuous flow of orders and has the largest partner network, while Bolt Food has the smallest order pool, which is why it's usually kept as a second app. During the evening peak jobs come back to back; in the middle of a weekday you can sit idle for a long stretch. The app shows how many hours you were online and what you earned in that time — after a week you'll know your real pace.
Which days of the week are most profitable?
Friday, Saturday and Sunday usually deliver 2–3× more orders than Tuesday or Wednesday. Evenings between 18 and 22 are strongest, lunch 12–14 is the second peak. The end of the month is slower because people watch their spending. Paydays, match weekends and holidays are good times for longer shifts.
