Google Adds Ability to Order Food Directly From Search Results
By Sara Shaw • May 24, 2019
This week, Google rolled out a new ability to Search, Maps, and Assistant that allows users to order from local restaurants. Orders are facilitated by services like DoorDash, Postmates, Delivery.com, Slice, ChowNow, and more coming at a later date. The service providers have integrated with Google so orders can be completed without leaving search results.
Previously, Google’s search results would provide links to food delivery services when users searched for a restaurant or type of food. Clicking on one of those links would prompt users to open or download another app. Now, users can search for and complete orders all from the same place.
