Restaurants Can Now Switch Off Third-Party Ordering Providers in Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile has added a control that lets restaurants decide which third-party ordering providers, such as Just Eat, Deliveroo and Uber Eats in the UK, appear on their profile in Search and Maps. Lisa Landsman, Google’s head of industry engagement and SMB success, announced it on LinkedIn: instead of asking each delivery platform to remove or disconnect its feed, a restaurant can now turn a provider off from the dashboard. Asked in the comments which countries have it, a Google product manager replied “all”. Her screenshot shows a “Manage provider” panel with a “Show provider to customers” heading and separate switches for pickup and delivery, so a provider can be kept for one and hidden for the other.

Until now, getting off a provider’s listing went through the provider. Google’s compliance requirements for ordering partners, as archived in May 2026, made each provider offer restaurants a way out of its feed and gave it five business days to act on a request. The current version, last updated on 19 October, says merchants can enable or disable individual provider integrations through product controls, and that “all partner integrations are enabled by default”.

Because of that default, anyone managing restaurant profiles should open the food ordering section of each one and check which providers are listed: any partner that sends Google a feed for the restaurant shows up until someone switches it off, including ones the restaurant no longer uses or that take a margin it would rather not pay. Landsman’s own advice is not to remove everything, since diners tend to order through the apps where they already have a subscription or a saved card. On 29 October, Google’s help page for ordering options still described only the old route, a removal request the provider has five business days to act on. The announcement does not cover bulk changes either: when a commenter asked whether API partners would get the update, Landsman replied “Stay tuned”, so agencies with many locations should expect to do this profile by profile for now.
