Abstract:
A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions configured to run on the one more processors and perform training a machine learning model based on historical input data for pickups by users that occurred during a historical time period and output data comprising actual wait times that occurred for the pickups by the users; receiving an order from a user for a pickup from a physical store during a selected time slot of a selected date; adding the order to a queue of assembled checked-in orders; determining an estimated arrival time based on geo-tracking; generating an estimated wait time using the machine learning model, as trained, and can be based on input data; and sending the estimated wait time to at least one of the physical store or the mobile device of the user. Other embodiments are disclosed.
