Wow big news and exciting new Google Local features rolling out today.
You can read the rest of the help doc above.
But below is additional info I got direct from Google.
Google is gradually rolling out the option to "Place an order" on some local restaurant results from Google Search. It will only show up for restaurants who are working with the partners who are included at launch. When it does show up, users will be able to tap Place an order, then choose a delivery service, and then be taken to their website to place an order.
This will only be visible on mobile and in the US for the time being, with plans to roll it out more widely soon. We have more information about this for business owners in our Help Center.
Which partners are included at launch?
Grubhub, Eat24, Delivery.com, BeyondMenu and MyPizza.com
We'll add more partners gradually. Content partners can express interest in joining the program using this form.
Can a business owner add a custom action link or request inclusion?
No, right now, business owners cannot add custom links. If a business has an existing relationship with one of our content partners, action links to that partner should appear for that business.
Can a business owner request the removal of an action link?
Merchants can reach out to our merchant support (Help Center link) and our support staff will assist in removing the action link from their business listing.
What if multiple providers have content for the same business?
If ordering from a restaurant is possible via more than one provider, the results will include all providers — when you tap the “Place an order” link, all available merchants will show.
Are Google Login and/or Wallet requirements for this feature?
No, these are not requirements.
So that's all I know right now.
Jade is getting ready to do a post at the Google forum. I'll link to that when it's live.
And I have commentary to add, but wanted to share the basics 1st.
Spread the word and share this post!
