A
new “order food” feature rolled out for US users lets Facebook users order
delivery or takeout from restaurant chains such as Papa John’s and Panera, and
on-demand services including Delivery.com and DoorDash. “People already go to
Facebook to figure out what to eat by reading about nearby restaurants, and
seeing what their friends say about them. So, we’re making it even easier,”
read a blog post by Facebook vice president Alex Himel.
“From
local spots to national chains, Facebook connects you with old favorites and
new discoveries in just a few taps. You can even check out what your friends
have to say about a restaurant before you order your food.” Facebook has been
testing this feature since last year and is rolling out the service to users in
the United States on its desktop, iOS and Android applications, with new
partners.
The
move expands Facebook’s ability to keep users on its platform, with services
such as money-transfer, business services and ride-hailing available from its
main application or messaging services. The world’s largest social network has
more than two billion active users.
