Abstract
In some examples, a service provider may receive, from a buyer device, a first order for a first item to be prepared by a first merchant. The service provider may determine a second item offered by the first merchant, or another merchant, that can be added on to the first order by determining a preparation time for the first item, and determining that the second item offered by the first merchant, or the other merchant, has a preparation time less than the preparation time for the first item. The service provider may further determine a threshold time for ordering the second item based on a difference between the preparations time for the first item and the second item. The threshold time may be presented on the buyer device to indicate an amount of time the buyer has to add the second item to the first order.
