Discover the best food at any restaurants with Google Maps new feature
CAPE TOWN – Google Maps announced that it launched a new feature that it describes as "dish-covery", as the feature shows users a restaurant's most popular dishes that are enjoyed.
Ronnie Falcon, Product Manager, at Google Maps said in a statement: " When you’re trying out a new restaurant, Google Maps already shows you how to get there, photos, reviews and ratings. But as you scan the menu, you’re probably wondering, “What’s good?” Now Google Maps is making it easy to “dish-cover” a restaurant’s most crowd-pleasing meals with a new popular dishes feature."
According to the Falcon, how it works is that the feature uses a “machine learning algorithm that matches dish names, provided by Google Maps users, with relevant photos and reviews”.
The new popular dishes feature makes it easier to discover a restaurant’s most talked-about meals.
Users will need to take pictures of their dishes (before they eat), add the name of the dish meal, and review them afterwards.
So that when users are interested in trying out a new restaurant and are not sure what to order, they can go to the Google Maps app, search for the name of the restaurant and find its popular dishes in the overview tab.
Did Google add that in a country where users can’t read the language, Maps will translate the reviews for them.
