Googled a restaurant and saw it wasnt as busy as it normally is apparently. How does google know that?

Every night I get at least half a dozen calls from Google Assistant on the caller ID. It’s an automated thing that always says the same thing.
“Thank you for calling xyz, how can I help you?”
Hello?
“How can I help you?”
Hi! I have a guest who is looking to come in. Could you tell me how long the wait is for a party of 2?
“It’s 30 minutes.”
Oooh. I’ll let *name here* know. Thank you.
I’m sure it’s been aggregating that info for a while. Plus I’m positive they collect location data from people who are using google in-house.
One time a host accidentally said 90 minutes instead of 9 and google updated our wait time on their site as “90 minutes as of *time*.”
