What are you trying to add? The main routes in the parking lot or a POI? Waze currently only uses third-party search providers for POI lookup (Bing, Yelp, Yellow Pages, FourSquare, etc).

1) You can add the main roads by driving them, then using "Your Drives" in the editor to trace the routes out into the map.

2) Individual businesses are NOT mapped in Waze. Waze uses third party Search Providers for POI search. You will have to submit the additions to Google, Bing, Yelp, FourSquare, YellowPages, etec (each of the tabs on the results screen in the app).
