Reading the Map: Predicting Hotspots Before They Appear

Don't just sit in hotspots - predict them. I know my market well enough now to position myself near clusters of popular restaurants right before rush hours. Also, ignore the app's suggested hotspots during slow times. Trust your own data.

Knowing your market is everything! I have spots where I park and wait because I know orders will come in consistently. Took me 3 months of data to figure out the patterns. Keep notes in your phone about what works when.

Friday and Saturday evenings I position near the nicer restaurants 15 minutes before peak. By the time it gets busy, I'm already in the perfect spot while other dashers are driving around looking. Preparation beats reaction every time.
