The restaurant owners don't need to go through the effort. I'm in a consortium of companies that use ML in their business. One of the companies is a competitor to GrubHub. They use ML to: read scanned menus, understand items, look at pictures... then: predict what ingredients items have; populate if the item is one of entree, meal, desert, or snack; populate if the item is one of gluetn-free, vegetarian, or some other similar stuff
All of this without the mom-and-pop restaurant owners lifting a finger. It gives them a competitive edge over their competitors. All of this to say: Google doesn't care - but GrubHub, UberEats, and the ilk do care
