Google Maps Indicates Restaurants Open for Takeout and Delivery
Ellen Smith — April 7, 2020 — Tech
Restaurants are closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, so Google Maps added a new feature to indicate which restaurants are still open for takeout and delivery, helping consumers support businesses while putting their health first.
To use the feature, consumers can simply open Google Maps, and tap the screen. Following this, all businesses that are open for takeout and delivery will be listed. While convenient for the consumer, this feature is also offering further support to businesses, as it allows restaurants to link its ordering system through the new feature. This offers a one-stop shop for the hungry consumer, encouraging diners to support their local restaurants during this difficult time.
