Google now lets restaurants decide, with greater control, which third-party ordering services show up on their Business Profile. Operators can switch an integration off entirely or limit it to pickup only or delivery only, so Uber Eats, DoorDash, Instacart, Grubhub and similar services can each be removed from a listing on Google Search and Maps.

This is great news for restaurants having to handle these multiple ordering services. Previously, if a restaurant that wanted a delivery partner’s link gone had to ask that platform to remove or disconnect its feed. Now the dashboard handles it directly. The control panel shows each provider with options for how it appears, so a restaurant could, for example, keep a service for delivery while hiding it for pickup.

The change was announced by a Google representative on LinkedIn, who framed it as an answer to one of the most common requests from restaurant operators: more say over their ordering links.

Google’s pitch for the update comes down to a few points:

• Less friction: Restaurants choose which partners represent them. If a service stops making sense because of its fees, margins or kitchen workflow, the restaurant can drop it without waiting on anyone.
• Why variety can still help: Diners tend to favor the apps where they already have a subscription or saved payment details, so a mix of trusted providers may win orders that would otherwise go elsewhere, even though direct ordering stays the ideal.
• Routine check-ups: Operators are encouraged to review their profile soon, look over every active ordering link, and confirm each one leads to a current menu and a smooth ordering experience.
