Industrial city
city type
Zawiercie is a city of about forty-nine thousand people with an industrial backbone that still shapes its daily rhythm. Steelworks and local plants run in shifts, and the city sits on the Krakow-Czestochowa Upland, so warm weekends bring visitors heading toward the rock formations and castles nearby. Orders spread evenly through the week and climb from Friday afternoon onward.
Restaurants cluster in the centre and along the main shopping streets, and you'll deliver to housing estates and to development strung along the railway line β the city grew up alongside the tracks and still has that elongated shape. Some runs head toward Kromolow and other former villages that feel like separate places.

Frequently asked questions
How much can you earn as a food delivery courier?
You typically take home 25β55 zΕ an hour depending on the city, time and weather β that is after deductions, not gross. On Uber Eats in heavy rain or snow it can reach 60β80 zΕ/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 β 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 24β72 hours. With Wolt and Glovo the timing depends on whether your city is currently recruiting couriers β if it is, that's a couple of days. Your advisor checks this before you gather any paperwork.
Do you need a powerbank while working?
A powerbank is essential β apps with GPS drain your phone in 3β4 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.
What happens to your account if you take a long break?
Wolt expects activity: without deliveries your account goes inactive, and getting it back runs through your partner and only while the city is recruiting. On Glovo your rank drops if you skip more than a week, and the Excellence Score counts the last 28 days β so slots get worse after a pause. Uber Eats has no known deactivation rule for downtime and sometimes sends a bonus quest to pull you back. The safest habit is one delivery every couple of weeks.
What to do if the customer doesn't answer the door?
Try calling through the app first β the customer's number is hidden, but the call goes through. At Bolt Food the rule is three contact attempts and ten minutes of waiting; at Uber Eats the app counts down seven minutes. The exact sequence is always shown in the app itself. Then report it to support β once they confirm, you either leave the order at the door or take it back to the restaurant. How that trip is paid is decided by the app's own support.
What taxes and contributions does a courier pay on an umowa zlecenie?
Under 26 no income-tax advance is withheld β that is the ulga dla mΕodych relief, capped at 85,528 zΕ a year; you do not need student status for it, only the age. ZUS contributions are a separate matter: only pupils and students under 26 are exempt β for them gross equals net. If you are under 26 but not a student, roughly 19% is deducted from an umowa zlecenie (pension, disability and health). After 26 the 12% income tax is added on top.
