Abstract
A system receives an order from one or more user client devices associated with an account of the system, and transmits a first notification to the one or more user client devices that an order is ready for pick up at a pickup location. The system receives location data from a particular user client device of the one or more user client devices. The system determines an outer geofence based in part on a running average time or wait time at the pickup location in a recent time period, a size of the order, or a historical wait time associated with the account. In response to receiving an indication from the particular user client device that a user associated with the particular user has entered the determined outer geofence, the system transmits a second notification to a runner client device.
