Google has made it easy to order pizzas, thai pad and fried chicken at your favorite restaurants.

The search giant announced Thursday that it had updated applications such as Google Maps, Google Search and Google Assistant to make ordering products online, so you do not have to download as many third-party applications.

"When I was pregnant with my son last year, my cravings were quite irresistible," said Anantica Singh, head of food ordering at Google, in a blog post.

"Fortunately for me, I did not have to get in the car and go to my favorite restaurants to fill me in. Since then, I'm one of the millions of people who regularly order food for delivery to home. "

Until now, Google has partnered with Delivery.com, Postmates, DoorDash, Slice and ChowNow, and other delivery service providers are en route.

How does the new takeaway feature work?

On Maps or Search, when you tap in a participating restaurant, you'll see an "Order Online" option that will guide you in selecting menu items. You will see the delivery options or support and the payment option with the help of Google Pay.

The results of your search can also show you restaurants available from several delivery services.

As for the assistant, just say, "Hey, Google, order dishes at (insert the restaurant.)". Over time, your assistant gets to know your favorite dish. ) "

You can use each of the services immediately, just in time for your commemorative evening.
