It is now possible to order from Starbucks, Applebee’s and Dunkin Donuts via the Google Assistant. The ability to order food via a virtual assistant was first unveiled by Samsung in Korea, where users could use Bixby to order off Starbucks. At Google I/O 2018, Google promised that they’d bring the same feature to the Google Assistant, and now it looks like it’s rolling out en masse.

To get started with Starbucks, you’ll have to say “talk to Starbucks.” to the Google Assistant. You’ll then be prompted to create a Starbucks account or log in to an existing one. A valid payment method in either the Starbucks or Google account is required to proceed. The assistant will then find the Starbucks nearest to you and ask you if you want to order your meal from there. There is also an option to order from other locations, based on your convenience. Any Google Assistant-enabled device can be used to place the order, but you’ll still need a smartphone to make the payment. You’ll still have to go to the location to pick up your meal, though. Hopefully, we get Starbucks drones that eliminate that step in the near future. Here’s the Starbucks’ support page that answers some frequently asked questions.
