Google search will now let you order food and book tables

Google will now help you order food online. Yes, after improvising Google Now, the tech giant wants to improvise our dining experience too. Now you can order food and book tables right from the Google Search itself, and ultimately escape the boring waiting period in the hotel lounge.

Google has partnered with startups Zomato and Swiggy for food delivery, and Dineout and Bytplus for table reservations to integrate various offerings in the country. You can book food or tables ahead of time with Google Search by clicking on a partner’s link and you’ll be taken to their site to make your reservation.

The tech giant announced in a blog post, "When you search for a nearby restaurant on their phone, they’ll see an option to “Place an order” in the search results. Just tap that and choose your favorite delivery services like Zomato or Swiggy and you’ll be taken to their website to complete the order."

The services can be used on Google Search and the Google app for both Android and iOS devices.

Further the blog stated "These features are just rolling out and we’ll be adding more partners and evolving the look and feel over time,” the company said on its blog."

In a similar collaboration with Uber and Ola, Google Maps provided built-in services showing fares and riding options from the app-based taxi aggregators.
