Google allows you to book reservations for dinner, order food from Google Search

Technology giant Google India has announced a new feature in its Search app that will let users order lunch, dinner as well as book a table at their favourite restaurant, directly from the results page. “From today, when people search for nearby restaurants on their phone, they’ll see an option to place an order in the search results,” Google revealed in a blogpost on Tuesday. “One just needs to tap that and choose the favourite delivery service like Zomato or Swiggy,” the post added. Google will automatically take users to their website to complete the order. Also, the new feature will also help users plan their dine out by booking a table at their favourite restaurant ahead of time. Google Search will direct users to partner sites to make their reservation. Using the Google Search and the Google app, available on platforms like Android or iOS phone or tablet, users can now order food via Zomato and Swiggy. Users can also make restaurant reservations with Dine out and Bytplus, the blogpost revealed, adding, that the company will be adding more partners as well as evolve the look and feel over time. This comes in addition to the existing features which indicate the popularity of the restaurant during that particular day or time frame to be sure about the availability of seats without reservation. This is present along with the reviews section where people write about their experiences along with type of food and photos of the place. Google has also started crowdsourcing the data using user generated surveys specific to that particular outlet, or you can manually search for the food joint or popular place and start answering the generic frequently asked questions in survey format.
