Szklarska Poręba is a 6,500-resident resort in the western Karkonosze — popular both in winter (skiing and snowboarding) and in summer (mountains, waterfalls, the Mickiewicz Trail). Glovo operates as the only delivery platform, and tourism sets the rhythm: in season restaurants run flat out, off-season is calmer.
The winter peak runs from December through the end of February — holidays, long weekends, snow. The summer boom is July-August plus the May weekends. Weekend evenings bring the most orders, because tourists order food back to their hotel after a day on the slopes or trail.

Frequently asked questions
How much can you earn as a food delivery courier?
Average rate is 30–50 zł per hour depending on city, time and weather. The best weekend evenings can pay 60–80 zł/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 — 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.
What to do if the customer does not answer the door?
Try calling through the app — the number is hidden but the call works. If they don't pick up for 5–8 minutes, send a message and contact support. After confirmation you can leave the order at the door or return it to the restaurant. You will be paid the full delivery fee.
Do you need a powerbank while working?
A powerbank is essential — apps with GPS drain your phone in 3–4 hours. Without a working phone you cannot accept orders or reach addresses. Pick a model with at least 10 000 mAh and fast charging. Keep a spare cable in your bag.
How much does a thermal bag cost and where to buy one?
A standard thermal bag costs 80–200 zł 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 your phone dies during a delivery?
First rule: ride with a charged powerbank (10 000 mAh handles 1–2 full charges). If the phone is already dead, find a power outlet quickly — even 5 minutes of charging lets you message support. The app will keep your active order if you return online within a reasonable time.
