city type
Wieliczka is a small tourist city right next to Kraków, with the UNESCO salt mine bringing visitors every single day. That steady flow of tourists means restaurants near the old town and along the main routes get regular orders, especially during lunch and evening hours. Two platforms operate here: Glovo and Uber Eats.
For a city this size, low courier competition is your advantage. You will not get hundreds of orders per hour, but you also will not be fighting other riders for every delivery. Summer brings more tourists and warmer evenings; winter is quieter outside but bad weather still pushes more people to order in.

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 days of the week are most profitable?
Friday, Saturday and Sunday usually deliver 2–3× more orders than Tuesday or Wednesday. Evenings between 18 and 22 are strongest, lunch 12–14 is the second peak. The end of the month is slower because people watch their spending. Paydays, match weekends and holidays are good times for longer shifts.
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.
What to do if the restaurant order is wrong?
Always check the order number on the receipt before leaving — staff mistakes happen regularly. If something is missing or wrong, ask the staff to fix it on the spot. If you only notice later, report it through the app chat — your rating won't suffer if you react quickly.
Do you need experience to become a courier?
No experience required. You need a phone, a means of transport, a thermal bag and a basic feel for the city — the app teaches you the rest. The first 1–2 days can feel chaotic (no-lift buildings, confusing addresses), but after a week the routine clicks. Everyone started from zero.
