If the friend is early, I think I'd advise her to park in the garage and meet us in the terminal. I think there's a good chance she'd be late: what advice would there be, with current construction, on meeting us at the curb? I know that at many airports one advises meeting arriving pax on the departures level, but maybe not at this time of day? Whichever level, is there a certain median where we should meet, and signage the driver should follow to get there?
Since your question has nothing to do with the recent change in the hotel and parking shuttle operations, I've moved your question into a more appropriate thread.

That time of day, there a many more departing than arriving passengers and the lower "arrivals" level is considerably less congested. I'd instruct someone who is arriving or picking me up to meet me on the lower level. <outdated information>.

All that being said, I've never seen more that a couple of cars in the cell phone waiting lot.
