Google Native With Verify Wait Time Button

Google launched a few months ago a “check wait time” button for some local results in the Google search results. I guess this tells you how long you have to wait to receive service from the local business, like a restaurant.

This was spotted by Anuj Thaker who shared a couple of screenshots on Twitterhere is one:

Here are some more screenshots:

In the restaurant business profile, I have seen a new option, “check wait time.”
Have you seen this before? I think its new.

Brian also noticed this earlier:

I’m not able to respond to the linked tweet, but I noticed this in September @rustybrick @JoyanneHawkins – still seems to be in testing as I don’t see it often – not sure what triggers it https://t.co/BrFcOZUz7P

And Tim Capper said this is a few months old but no one activated it (or very few did):

Not New: @JoyanneHawkins, @ColanNielsen, @rustybrick

Been available for months, just no one wants to sign up to another 3rd party. pic.twitter.com/jow7QPZQDV
