Optimizing listing efficiency and efficacy for a delivery coordination system

Abstract:

A delivery coordination system selects restaurant listings for presentation to a user by filtering out restaurants that are unlikely to be of interest to the user, while ensuring that restaurant listings are selected to encourage the success of all restaurants using the delivery coordination system. In response to receiving the listings request from a client device, the delivery coordination system selects a filtered set of restaurant listings from the plurality of restaurant listings stored by the delivery coordination system by applying filtering criteria to the plurality of stored restaurant listings. The delivery coordination system generates conversion scores for the restaurant in the filtered set of restaurant listings and selects restaurant listings to present to the user from the filtered set of restaurant listings based on selection factors, which can include the generated conversion scores. The delivery coordination system transmits the selected restaurant listings to the client device.
