Google maps now show you how busy a business is. Click on the business then at the btm of the page click on the business. Scroll down and store hours will show you the busiest time and live time. Pretty cool feature.

I think I've seen that before. Maybe for at least a year or two. I can't say for sure because I don't utilize it much. (hardly ever)

Its been around for a while. Great for gauging restaurant business (and making other choices).

Like i said, I've seen that feature, but since I have absolutely no idea how it works I've never paid much attention to it because i didn't trust its accuracy.

Hmmm, might be an interesting experiment. Check a couple nearby places then ride by to see how accurate that report is.

A couple of weeks back they did come out with a new "food delivery in your area" feature. I checked it out when they sent an email about it...
