Google Business Profile (Formerly GMB) Consolidates Field on Tab

The addition of a Food Ordering tab has been noted in Google Business Profile dashboards. For restaurant and food-based businesses, allowing customers to place an order with ease has been a popular request. Be aware of third-party ordering features, however. The following guide walks users through where to disable this less-than-straightforward move from Google.

Convenience and efficiency are timeless qualities in a restaurant. But since best practices are ever-evolving in the food service industry, Google Business Profile (formerly GMB) is incorporating changes to the online ordering process. At the request of restaurant owners who complained about the addition of third-party platforms, there are options to disable and simplify the ordering the process. Users can turn the button "Order Online" on or off, choose the preferred provider for users to be directed to, and indicate which providers offer pickup and/or delivery. Next, users can control the "Place an Order" button, with the option of ordering from the restaurant's own ordering system.
