How long should I wait for a batch?

There is no perfect wait time, but if waiting is eating too much of your logged work window, your real hourly pay drops fast.

A short wait before a strong order can be fine. A long wait before an average order can quietly ruin the shift.

Track waiting by store and by time of day. Also track what happens after the wait: did you get a good order, leave, switch zones, or log off?

Once you have enough history, you can build personal rules for when to stay and when to move.
