Zlotow is a small town in northern Greater Poland with about 18,000 residents. Only Glovo operates here, and that actually works in your favour β fewer couriers means you get more orders when you are online. In a town this size, even one active platform can keep you genuinely busy during the right hours.
Glovo requires you to book shifts in advance, so plan around lunch (12-14) and dinner (18-22) on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Cash is paid right after the order, which is useful when you are starting out. Bring a powerbank β the app drains your phone quickly, and you do not want to lose signal mid-delivery in a smaller town.

Frequently asked questions
How much can you earn as a food delivery courier?
Average rate is 30β50 zΕ per hour depending on city, time and weather. The best weekend evenings can pay 60β80 zΕ/h. Earnings depend on order volume, distances and active bonuses on the platform. Working 6β8 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 β fill in a form, upload documents, sign the contract. The partner activates your account on the chosen platforms. The whole process takes 2β7 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.
What to do if the customer does not answer the door?
Try calling through the app β the number is hidden but the call works. If they don't pick up for 5β8 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.
What to do if the restaurant order is wrong?
Always check the order number on the receipt before leaving β 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 β your rating won't suffer if you react quickly.
Which days of the week are most profitable?
Friday, Saturday and Sunday usually deliver 2β3Γ more orders than Tuesday or Wednesday. Evenings between 18 and 22 are strongest, lunch 12β14 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.
