Facebook is now eating the world, literally. The social media giant today unveiled plans to get into the food delivery business, by swallowing up online ordering pages from other food delivery companies.
An “Order Food” button now appears under the “Explore” section of Facebook’s home page, along with things like “Events,” “Pages,” and the old-school “Pokes.” Clicking it brings up a list of nearby restaurants with a rating (out of five stars), a short description (“Sports Bar,” “Belgian”), a price estimate (“$$$”), and the restaurant’s distance from you and address. Some of these restaurants also have another button next to them, “Start Order.”
