This will help Google Map users to have access to the best dishes of a restaurant on their fingertips. Here is what the feature will look like-

Google Enables Restaurants And Customers To Add & Edit Well-Known Dishes!

Here are the steps using which you can add a dish

There are some more instructions regarding how you can manage these dishes.

The feature is live on Google Maps for Android devices all over the world. It will be rolled out for iOS users in the months to come. Well-known dishes for restaurants can be viewed on Business Profiles on Google Maps on the Android app. Business owners, managers as well customers can add and name dishes on the Business Profile via Maps.
