As the world goes through its roughest time in decades due to the Coronavirus pandemic, it’s very evident that life has been affected by the spread of the disease. With the 21-day lockdown as part of social distancing guidelines issued by medical professionals, epidemiologists and the World Health Organization (WHO), Google Maps has started highlighting local restaurants and eateries that offer Takeaway or Delivery options.
Google Maps Now Shows You Takeout and delivery Options Near Your Location
Earlier, companies like Reliance and Uber have extended a helping hand to people who are in need. There are even websites that will tell you which grocery store is open nearby.
On opening the Google Maps app, you’ll see an individual Takeout and Delivery button on the top. Clicking either one of these will reveal all the restaurants that either offer Takeout or Delivery nearby. The service also allows you to view the restaurant’s menu, what time they’re serving food and even customer reviews for each restaurant. This service is mighty helpful for people who are home alone and do not have the necessary skill to cook their own food. In this day and age, it’s not feasible to be cooking every day either. The app will be making it a lot easier for users to order their daily meals.
As of right now, there is no integration with food delivery services like Swiggy or Zomato or even Uber Eats, but this will make it easier for you to narrow down what exactly you want to eat. These Takeaway and Delivery options are available for both Android and iOS users in the US, India and other parts of the world.
Google Map’s new Shortcut buttons are yet another push by the search giant towards making lives easier for end customers during the pandemic. The tech giant has already launched its COVID-19 website for making users aware about the disease.
