Why does Google Play ask for 12 testers before my restaurant app can go live?

Personal developer accounts made after 13 November 2023 must run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days before they can apply to go live. Businesses should open an Organization account.

• Test rule: 12 testers must stay opted in for 14 days in a row before you apply for production access.
• Who: this applies to personal developer accounts created after 13 November 2023.
• Business account: Google tells businesses to open an Organization account, which needs a D-U-N-S number.
• Alternative: an ordering website needs no testers or review.
