Once users search for the restaurant on Google and open the business listing, alongside the Popular Times section they will now see the estimated wait time. By tapping on any of the hour bars, users will see the estimated wait for that time period.

Quang Duong, software engineer, Google Maps in a blog post wrote: "Users can even scroll left and right to see a summary of each day’s wait times below the hour bar to plan ahead to beat the crowds."

Google recently overhauled AdWords in India.
