Google is the king of taking easy tasks and making them even easier. The company’s latest target is food delivery, which literally requires you to just call a number or even just do it through an official website, you don’t even have to move. Clearly this is too much of a drag, and Google wants to make things easier by allowing you to order your food directly from search results.
As if ordering delivery from your favorite restaurant or fast food joint was too much of a drag, Google now allows you to do the deed right from within its search results. From today, those looking to curb their appetite can search for nearby restaurants using their smartphone. In locations where the service is available, you’ll see an option to place an order within the search results. Simply tap it and select your delivery service of choice. From there, you’ll be whisked away to the service’s website to put in an order. Google has partnered with six food delivery services – Seamless, Grubhub, Eat24, Delivery.com, BeyondMenu and MyPizza.com – but said it plans to add more in the future. The only catch here is that you need to live in an area in which one of these delivery services operate. That probably won’t be an issue for those living in major cities but if you’re in a mid-sized suburb or out in the boonies, you may be out of luck.
