Industrial city
city type
Tychy is an industrial city of around 130,000 people next to Katowice, with the Tyskie brewery and plenty of factories and offices. That means you get strong lunch orders from workers between 12 and 14 on weekdays, and weekend evenings stay busy with home deliveries.
Glovo, Wolt and Uber Eats all operate here. Glovo runs on shift booking and pays cash quickly, Wolt gives you a free schedule with bonuses, and Uber Eats keeps a steady flow in the centre. You can combine Wolt and Uber Eats on one phone — turn both on, take the best order, pause the other.

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.
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 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.
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.
Can you work at night?
Yes — in bigger cities Bolt Food and Uber Eats run until 23–24, and Friday/Saturday often until 2–3 AM. Night rates can be higher because fewer couriers are out. It works well for students and people combining delivery with another job. Smaller cities usually wrap up by 22–23.
