Google recently announced it was soon introducing a food delivery service that would allow users to directly place their order from Google Search, Maps, and Assistants.
However, Google has no plans to take over the delivery industry. Instead, the search engine is collaborating with several companies like DoorDash, Postmates, Slice and ChowNow, Delivery.com, and Support for Zuppler to enhance the feature.
The ordering model is simple. The participating restaurant on Search and Maps will feature an ‘order online’ button. Clicking on the button will place your order instantly.
The ‘food order’ function will be available on both – Android and iOS devices. You can also re-order your regular meal through the Google Assistant as well.
