Resort town
city type
Szklarska Poreba switches between two completely different rhythms over the year. In winter the town lives by the slopes under Szrenica, with skiers and snowboarders coming down for lunch or dinner; in summer it's hikers heading into the Karkonosze. Between those peaks, traffic can drop to almost nothing, and couriers plan around it. Fewer than seven thousand permanent residents are only a fraction of how many guests show up at the height of the season.
You'll pick up orders mainly from venues along the main tourist routes and deliver to guesthouses, cottages, and apartments scattered across the slopes — sometimes right by the lower lift, sometimes higher, where travel takes longer than distance suggests. Lodging addresses dominate over housing blocks, so you learn to ask for a room number, not a stairwell.

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 mode of transport is best for courier work?
In big city centres a bike beats a car because of traffic and paid parking zones. A scooter is the middle ground when you want to work the peak hours. A car pays off on the outskirts and with heavy shop orders. An e-scooter works well in compact centres over short distances.
How does the courier rating system work?
Every platform scores your work: acceptance rate, delivery time, customer feedback. A higher rating unlocks bonuses and better conditions in the apps. In your city from 5 October 2026 Glovo needs no slot booking, but the metrics still count. Be polite at the door, deliver on time and avoid cancelling accepted orders — your rating will take care of itself.
Can you work at night?
Yes, though the hours depend on the city. In Warsaw Bolt Food takes orders until roughly one in the morning; in other cities usually until 23:00–24:00, and in smaller towns until 22–23. Late in the evening there are fewer couriers on the streets, so there can be more orders per person. Handy for students and anyone combining delivery with another job.
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.
