Hopefully this improves communication to drivers slightly. It's been pretty terrible for the last 8 months having zero idea where demand is.
Really this all seems like too little too late as order volume has just been dwindling (that or driver supply is way more than demand dictates).

Yeah there's so many dashers in my market (Minneapolis). Kinda sad really, this used to be a decent gig. But there's so much competition in this space that you've gotta be on 3+ platforms to make anything worth while
So I see no visible change in the hotspot system today.
Its already gone lol
When I first logged on, there were no visible hotspots.
After 15 minutes of no orders, I killed the app and reloaded, and the original hotspots were present.
Guess it didn't work as hoped lol.
It lasted like what? 1 day? Lol geez

Delivery pay in Dallas has been $4 for 9+ months.
Mark my words, DD are looking to sell and looking to sell fast. They'll cut wages to decrease expenditures on paper (and thus bump up their valuation), keep hiring to prove they have a solid worker base, and make little improvements like they have been to try to reduce their massive turnaround rate. I say they eventually get bought out by competition and get merged/ made redundant. Just my thought.
I hope Grubhub/Seamless buys them. While that company has some problems with order volume, they actually seem to treat the drivers somewhat fairly. If they kept me busy enough I'd work exclusively with them.
