Businesses can now opt out of Google’s online food ordering

I have also seen additional calls-to-action in the search results highlighting this new feature and trying to draw attention to it.

There is now an opt-out form for restaurants that do not want this new feature on their listing. This form would remove the order button but would not remove other third-party features on the Knowledge Panel including the ads and order links.
