Maybe you’ll be able to find out if your local comic book shop also sells board games. Lastly, if Google is releasing this for restaurants, who knows what’s next! Maybe soon you’ll be able to compare price ranges for different furniture stores. Mo’s Diner could then promote their $10 pancake meal on their website or social media. Maybe a popular diner down the street has a price range of $10 to $20. They can find that information easily and make more informed decisions.

Let’s say Mo’s Diner wants to see the price of other breakfast restaurants in the area. Those search options will also help restaurants better understand their competitors. Hopefully, a future update makes that search feature a reality. Google actually hasn’t allowed people to search with those categories yet. You want to find a place that can deliver you breakfast? Done. You want to see a list of restaurants where you only need to spend $5 to $10 per person? Go ahead. For starters, it’s going to change the way we find restaurants through their search system. Why Should We Care?Ĭhanges to Google’s restaurant review system are important for several reasons. Not only would cuisine options help customers find restaurants more easily, but it’d also help me know if a local pizzeria also dabbles in sushi and tacos. So, I hope their additional categories for the future include a type of cuisine. But currently, their choices for the type of food are Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, and Other. What additional categories they’re referring to? I’m not sure. However, they’re hoping to roll out more countries and categories soon.

This update is currently available on the Maps app to those in the U.S. What’s New?Īccording to Google’s announcement, users can now share how they received their food (dine-in, take-out, or delivery), what meal of the day they ordered, and roughly how much they spent per person. But soon, they’ll be able to add even more details. Originally, customers could leave up to a five-star review, a small blurb about their experience, and a picture, if they felt inclined. Google announced Wednesday that it’s adding new features to its restaurant reviews on Google Maps.
