Szczecinek sits among lakes and forests, and summer tourism brings a real boost to delivery orders. With around 40,000 residents and Glovo as the main platform, competition stays manageable while demand is steady enough to make shifts worthwhile.

You will earn most on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, especially when families and visitors order food after a day at the lakes. Tuesday and Wednesday are quieter β€” useful to know when planning your week. A bicycle works well in the warm months, but a car or scooter is more practical in autumn rain and winter snow.

Frequently asked questions

How much can you earn as a food delivery courier?
Average rate is 30–50 zΕ‚ per hour depending on city, time and weather. The best weekend evenings can pay 60–80 zΕ‚/h. Earnings depend on order volume, distances and active bonuses on the platform. Working 6–8 hours per day during peak windows produces a solid monthly income.
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 fleet partner.
How does registration work and how long does it take?
You register online with a fleet partner β€” fill in a form, upload documents, sign the contract. The partner activates your account on the chosen platforms. The whole process takes 2–7 working days. Bolt Food and Uber Eats are fastest; Wolt and Glovo sometimes take longer due to verification. Once active, you can ride the same day.
Which transport is best for courier work?
In big city centres a bicycle beats a car because of traffic and paid-parking zones. A scooter is the sweet spot during peak hours. A car works on the outskirts and for large orders from 9 kg up. An e-scooter is great in compact centres for short distances.
How much does a thermal bag cost and where to buy one?
A standard thermal bag costs 80–200 zΕ‚ depending on size. Glovo and Wolt often hand out branded bags after your first deliveries or for a small deposit. Generic ones are available on Allegro, OLX or directly from the fleet partner. A 9+ kg model is useful for large grocery orders.
What to do if the restaurant order is wrong?
Always check the order number on the receipt before leaving β€” staff mistakes happen regularly. If something is missing or wrong, ask the staff to fix it on the spot. If you only notice later, report it through the app chat β€” your rating won't suffer if you react quickly.
How quickly can you start earning after registering?
Bolt Food and Uber Eats activate accounts the fastest β€” often within 1–2 days. Wolt and Glovo take a bit longer because of verification. Once you have access to the app, you can take your first order the same day. The faster you complete your documents, the sooner you start.
