According to the 9to5Google website, Google Maps can now recognize photos of food that appear on the website of a given restaurant. After finding the restaurant on the map and clicking on its name, users can see a card containing not only pictures of the interior and sample dishes but also information such as opening hours.
Furthermore, Google Maps automatically labels the food photos with the names of the dishes that are on the menu of the restaurant. Some photos also have brief descriptions, labels indicating, for example, vegetarian dishes, and even prices of the dishes shown in the pictures. This allows users to see how specific items on the menu look before visiting the restaurant.
It is important to note that the information displayed with the photos comes from both Map users and restaurant owners, and the company does not verify each piece of information individually. However, users have the option to report a change in the dish name or an error in the description. Nonetheless, there is a risk that some information may be incorrect.
Currently, the new feature with captions is not visible on all food photos, and only selected groups of users have access to it. However, it can be expected that in the near future, this feature will be available to a larger number of users.
