Since most people are not going out to eat in restaurants these days, Google Maps made it easier to find delivery and takeout options near you.
Google Maps users in the US, Canada and France can now use two search filters that spotlight nearby restaurants offering delivery and takeout. Whether you're looking to try a new cuisine, cater family dinner or support local businesses during these times, Google Maps makes it easy to find your next meal.

When you use the search filters, Google Maps provides a number of options to get the restaurants's grub to your (thoroughly washed) hands. In some cases you'll be able to order directly from the place's website, while certain locales will redirect you to one of the best food delivery apps on your iOS or Android device.
If you're looking for grocery shopping options rather than takeout ones, check out our roundup of the best grocery delivery services for getting through social distancing, as well as our guide to Instacart, one of the most popular platforms right now.
