city type
Tczew runs on its railway. It's one of the biggest rail hubs in the country, and a large share of residents commute daily to the Tricity, so the city fills up only in the afternoon. Local industry adds a steady lunch rush on weekdays. Mornings are quiet, and almost everything happens between four and ten in the evening. Friday is clearly the strongest day.
Restaurants cluster downtown and along the main shopping streets, with a few near the bigger stores. You'll deliver to large estates west of the center, to older buildings on the Vistula escarpment, and to houses on the outskirts. The historic quarter sits high above the river, so the view is lovely — the climb back up less so. House numbering in the old part can be confusing, so budget an extra minute on early runs.

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.
What should you do if your vehicle breaks down or you crash mid-delivery?
Look after yourself first and call for help if you need it — the order can wait. Then message app support: the job gets cancelled or handed to another courier, and on Glovo you can ask a second courier to collect the food for you. Don't log out — platform insurance only covers you while you are online. If you rent your vehicle from the settlement partner, servicing and a replacement car are included in the rental.
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.
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.
Does weather affect the number of orders?
It really does. Rain, snow and cold push orders up because people stay home. Many couriers also stop working in bad weather, which means more deliveries for those who go out. Get a proper rain jacket and waterproof phone covers — they pay for themselves in one shift.
