Abstract
An online concierge system delivers items from retailers to customers. The online concierge predicts a range of times during which an order may be fulfilled for presentation to a user. The online concierge system uses a trained maximum time prediction model to determine a maximum time for order fulfillment based on an order. A trained minimum time prediction model determines a minimum time for order fulfillment from the order and the maximum time. The minimum time may account for one or more rules (e.g., a percentage of orders fulfilled before the minimum time, a desired rate of selection of a range including the minimum time). A range bounded by the maximum time and the minimum time is transmitted to a customer to enable the customer to select a time interval for order fulfillment.
