Uber Eats – What is this platform? How does it work?
Uber Eats is one of the most popular food delivery apps in Poland. With it, you can order your favorite dishes from restaurants and have them delivered without leaving your home. But Uber Eats is not just convenience for customers—it’s also a great earning opportunity for couriers.
How does Uber Eats work from the inside?
- The customer selects a restaurant in the app, places an order, and pays online.
- The restaurant packs the food and hands it to the courier.
- The courier picks up the package and delivers it to the customer.
- Everything happens through the app—zero paperwork, maximum convenience.
Thanks to this, you can work whenever you want and accept as many orders as you can handle.
Uber Eats – What’s This All About?
For those who aren’t familiar, Uber Eats is a platform that lets you order food from your favorite cafes and restaurants with doorstep delivery. Everything happens in the app—you click, choose, pay, and… just wait for your food. The key to this system is the couriers—they make sure that the ordered burger or ramen reaches the customer in record time. In Poland, the app has been available in larger cities, but now it’s time for smaller locations. What does this mean? New earning opportunities, flexible work, and a chance to be among the first in your city. It’s a bit like being a pioneer—you can have your own “territory” and build a great reputation!

A typical day might look like this:

- Log into the app and wait for an order notification.
- Pick up the order from the restaurant, maybe chat with staff.
- Deliver the food to the customer—a smile, a kind word, sometimes a tip.
- Take a break when you want—you set the pace.

Best of all, you can combine this job with studies, another job, or even hobbies. It’s the perfect side gig “after hours”.
Earnings at Uber Eats – How Much Can You Make?
The most common question! Unfortunately, there’s no single answer. It all depends on your commitment, number of deliveries, tips, and possible platform bonuses.
What makes up an Uber Eats courier’s earnings?
- Delivery rate—varies by city, route, and time of day. The further and busier, the higher the rate.
- Bonuses and incentives—for a set number of deliveries per week/month or during peak hours.
- Tips—customers can add extra in the app or give cash.
- Launch promotions in new cities—Uber Eats often runs special actions for new couriers.
For example: A courier working regularly 4–6 hours a day can make even 2,500–4,000 PLN a month. Of course, this depends on work intensity, but many couriers treat this as their main source of income.
