Torun is a university city of around 200,000 people, with a busy old town and steady student traffic. All five major platforms work here — Glovo, Wolt, Uber Eats, Bolt Food and Stuart — so you have options from day one. The medieval centre is compact, which means short routes and quick deliveries during lunch and evening peaks.
For a beginner, Bolt Food is the easiest to start with, while Wolt and Uber Eats can run together on the same phone to catch the best order. Glovo runs separately and pays cash immediately, which helps in the first weeks. Students order a lot in the evenings and during exam periods, so Friday to Sunday will be your strongest days.

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.
Can you work without speaking Polish?
Yes — most apps support English, Russian and Ukrainian. Contact with restaurants is usually limited to showing the order number, and customers only see the delivery address. A few simple Polish phrases help at pickup but are not required. Fleet-partner support also operates in Russian and Ukrainian.
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.
Can you choose orders or are they assigned randomly?
Each platform works differently. Wolt and Bolt Food show the order before you accept — you can decline if it is too far or pays too low. Glovo auto-assigns within your booked slot, but you can decline without big consequences if your rating is solid.
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.
