It sounds like tech jargon, but it’s actually a simple, powerful shift in strategy. Instead of sending drivers from a central depot every time, you position them . What is Hotspot Dispatching? In plain English: Hotspot dispatching means identifying geographic areas with high order density (a "hotspot") and proactively routing idle drivers into those zones before demand spikes.

Drivers refuse to move without a guaranteed order. Fix: Build a “reposition bonus” ($2–$3) or guarantee a minimum hourly during repositioning windows.
