Business Profile Performance API: BUSINESS_FOOD_ORDERS metric deprecated, removal April 22, 2027

What this means for you

If you run a restaurant, Google could tell your marketing tools how many food orders came from your Google listing. Google is retiring that number. It still works for now, but it goes away on April 22, 2027, and Google is not offering a new number in its place. Reports that show Google food orders will lose that line.

The details

• Metric: BUSINESS_FOOD_ORDERS in the DailyMetric enum of the Business Profile Performance API v1. The discovery document describes it as "The number of food orders received from the business profile" and marks it enumDeprecated: true.
• Deprecated: October 22, 2025. Removal date: April 22, 2027. "There is no replacement."
• Methods affected: locations.getDailyMetricsTimeSeries and locations.fetchMultiDailyMetricsTimeSeries.
• Still available: BUSINESS_FOOD_MENU_CLICKS (clicks to view or interact with the menu, counted once per user per day). It measures something else, so do not label it as orders.

What to do next

• Business owners: Nothing now. If you track Google food orders, note that the number stops in April 2027.
• Marketers and agencies: Tell restaurant clients the food orders figure ends on April 22, 2027 and pick another success measure.
• Developers: Remove BUSINESS_FOOD_ORDERS from metric requests before April 22, 2027 and keep stored history clearly labelled.
