Google Search and Maps will detail restaurant wait times
Very soon, you will be able to know exactly how long you’ll be waiting in line for that eggs Benedict. A post on Google’s blog announced that Google Search and Google Maps will show you the estimated wait time at your favourite restaurant. When up and running, when you search a restaurant on Google, open its business listing and search under the Popular Times section, Google will show an estimated wait time at that moment based on anonymized historical data. It will also provide estimated wait times for other time periods.
