Maps: OpenStreetMap or your Google key
Your customers pick their delivery address on a map. By default that map is OpenStreetMap, which is free. If you prefer Google Maps, paste your own Google Maps API key and Google bills your Google Cloud account. If the key stops working, customers fall back to OpenStreetMap.

Step 2: Pick Google Maps if you want it
Choose Google Maps. Open How to get a key for the steps. In short: create a Google Cloud project with billing on, enable Maps JavaScript API, Places API (New) and Geocoding API, and create an API key restricted to websites that include menuthere.com and your own domain.

Paste it into Google Maps API key (it starts with AIza and is 39 characters long) and press Save. The key is stored encrypted and only its last four characters are shown afterwards.
