Restaurant voting
Choose where to eat without negotiating one text at a time.
Set a shared search area, let everyone add restaurant or bar ideas, find the cuisines and styles most of the group can agree on, and rank the actual places by how many people would happily go.
Share one room code with the group. Sign-in is optional unless the host requires it.
How it works
From suggestions to a decision everyone can live with.
Collect restaurant ideas
The host can set the room's search area and radius so place search is focused on the same geographic area for everyone. Participants can search for specific restaurants or add a place manually.
Vote on cuisines or styles
The group marks what it is open to, so categories without enough support can fall away before the final vote.
Rank the places
Vote for every remaining restaurant you would accept and see the final choices ordered by agreement.
Why it works
A better question than “What is everyone’s favorite?”
Restaurant decisions often get stuck before anyone is comparing actual restaurants. One person wants Chinese, someone else wants burgers, another person has no strong preference, and the organizer is trying to infer consensus from reactions and side conversations.
Separating cuisine or style from the final restaurant vote makes that negotiation visible. The group first agrees on the kinds of places that work, then compares the specific options that remain.
Questions
Common questions about restaurant voting.
Can we use it for bars too?
Yes. Restaurant rooms are designed for restaurant or bar decisions, and categories can be whatever labels make sense for your group.
How does restaurant search work?
The host can set a shared search area and radius for the room. Place search uses that area to keep results geographically relevant, while manual additions remain available when needed.
Can someone veto an option?
The host can give participants a limited number of vetoes. A vetoed option is removed from the final eligible ranking.
Do we have to vote on cuisines first?
No. Category collection and category voting are optional host settings, so a simple restaurant shortlist can go straight to option voting.
Ready to decide?
Put the options in one place and find the overlap.
Start the room, share the code, and let the group build the answer together.
