Google launched a few months ago a "check wait time" button for some local results in the Google search results. I guess this tells you how long you have to wait to receive service from the local business, like a restaurant.
This was spotted by Anuj Thaker who shared a couple of screenshots on Twitter, here is one:
Here are some more screenshots:
In the restaurant business profile, I have seen a new option, "check wait time."

Brian also noticed this earlier:
I noticed this not too long ago as well and thought it was new. I don’t see it consistently either. https://t.co/UGaFwhfkQK

And Tim Capper said this is a few months old but no one activated it (or very few did):
I had to retweet because Anuj blocks replies to specifically mentioned.

Not New: Waitlists have been available to restaurant for months now.
The reason its not prevalent is because restaurants don't want to use another 3rd party.https://t.co/bzIp9q6x8u https://t.co/fuBNGYyWeX
