With everyone sheltering in place due to the coronavirus pandemic, Google is making it easier for you to find your next meal. Now, when you open the Google Maps app, you will see new delivery and takeout shortcuts at the top of your screen. Tapping either of these shortcuts will instantly filter out any local restaurants and chains that do not offer takeout or delivery options.

Also, when you select any restaurant in the app, you will be able to quickly see if they only offer dine-in services, or if they have delivery and takeout options.

You can also find this information by doing a Google search on your computer. Whether you’re searching for a specific restaurant or a certain type of food, Google Maps will highlight where you can get delivery and takeout options. You can quickly find this information by looking under their street address of any restaurant in your browser window.

Once you pick a restaurant, you can even use Google Maps to order your food. All you have to do is click the Order button, and you will see the restaurant’s delivery menu. Then you can place an order with popular delivery apps like GrubHub, UberEats, and more.
