+\begin{abstract}
+Meal delivery platforms like Uber Eats shape the landscape in cities around the world.
+This paper addresses forecasting demand into the short-term future.
+We propose an approach incorporating
+    both classical forecasting
+    and machine learning methods.
+Model evaluation and selection is adapted to demand typical for such a platform
+    (i.e., intermittent with a double-seasonal pattern).
+The results of an empirical study with a European meal delivery service show
+    that machine learning models become competitive
+    once the average daily demand passes a threshold.
+As a main contribution, the paper explains
+    how a forecasting system must be set up
+    to enable predictive routing.
