As the world goes through its roughest time in decades because of the Coronavirus pandemic, it’s very clear that life has been affected by the spread of the disease. With the 21-day lockdown entering its final week, most people are still stuck at home. As we previously reported, 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. Well, you can now count Google in that list. The tech giant has now included a feature on Google Maps wherein a user can enter his or her location and restaurants that offer takeout or delivery will appear nearby.
As soon as you open up Google Maps, 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.
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.
