Abstract: An online concierge system displays an ordering interface to users that displays items offered by various warehouses. The online concierge system includes machine learning availability model that estimates an item's availability and visually distinguishes items offered by a warehouse having less than a threshold availability from other items. Because information from a warehouse that an item that was out of stock is now in stock is often delayed, the online concierge system transmits a request to a shopper fulfilling an order to check for an item's availability at a warehouse. For example, the online concierge system allows users to include a request for an indication of an item's availability when placing an order. When the online concierge system receives a threshold number of requests for the item, the online concierge system prompts a shopper fulfilling an order including items near the item for the item's availability.
