When you Google a certain store or restaurant and it gives you a bar chart of peak times, where does the data come from?

Question

Is it provided by the store? Is it calculated by way of an average if it’s a chain and by weather/location?

Answer 1

Simply put. Google knows where you are because you use Google apps and opted in for location tracking. So based on that data, they can predict the busy times by how many people are at that location at a given time.
