How to become a Glovo, Wolt or Bolt Food courier
Check city recruitment, identity, work entitlement, vehicle and required documents.
Before your first delivery
Check city recruitment, identity, work entitlement, vehicle and required documents. Food delivery does not require a taxi licence, but other duties still apply. Confirm documents, sanitary requirements and insurance with the platform and partner for your work. Activation follows eligibility and open recruitment, not simply submission of a form. An example of PLN 40/hour × 40–50 hours equals PLN 1,600–2,000 before unaccounted costs.

Residence and right to work
Lawful residence and permission to work are separate conditions. A residence card is not the only possible basis: the specific status, visa, permit or exemption and employment conditions matter. Foreigners face additional business eligibility rules. The transport department handles licence exchange; normal residence, translation and any examination depend on the document. Do not assume one procedure fits every foreign national.

Courier payout
Uber Eats, Glovo, Wolt, Pyszne.pl, Bolt Food and Jush may differ in cooperation terms and recruitment availability. Check the city offer, payment unit, bonus conditions and partner agreement. Do not subtract an assumed restaurant commission from delivery remuneration. Taxes and insurance follow your agreement, not simply the app’s name.

Bicycle, moped or motorcycle
The statutory e-bike definition includes pedal-activated assistance, up to 48 V and 250 W continuous rated power, tapering to zero by 25 km/h, and width up to 0.9 m. An e-bike label is insufficient. An electric moped has up to 4 kW and a design speed limited to 45 km/h; appropriate approval, registration, OC and entitlement are required. Check the actual vehicle documents; derestricting the motor may change its classification.

Partner or sole trader
Working under a partner agreement and running a sole trade are different models. Under zlecenie, PIT/ZUS depend on the agreement and insurance status; a sole trader handles their own settlement. Ryczałt taxes revenue, not profit after fuel and rent. The actual service and statutory conditions determine the rate, not the app’s name. The youth PIT exemption does not cover sole-trade revenue.
