How to Use Events to Find High-Demand Opportunities

Big events create spikes in demand whether for rides, deliveries, or other on-the-go work. The Events tab in Gridwise helps you see what’s happening in your area, how big each event is and when it ends so you can plan where and when to work.

1. Tap Sort to order events by Time, Distance, Size, or Most Saved.
2. Tap Filters to adjust your search radius or set a minimum event size.
3. Review your filters to confirm results match your schedule and target areas.

Best Practices to Maximize Earnings

• Check Events daily for new or updated listings.
• Plan around event start and end times for ride and delivery opportunities.
• Look near stadiums, arenas, and entertainment venues for post-event surges.
• Combine event insights with airport data to choose high earning zones.
• Arrive early to secure a good location.
• Monitor traffic and exit routes to avoid congestion.
