Restaurant Night
Everyone submits a real restaurant — live search, maps, hours. Fate picks where the crew eats. No more "idk, you pick."
“Where do you want to eat?” — “I don’t care, you pick.” Nobody has ever survived this conversation with their evening intact. Restaurant Night ends it.
Real restaurants, not vibes
When the activity type is Restaurant, every submission comes from a live place search — actual restaurants with names, neighborhoods, maps, and hours. On iOS that’s native Apple Maps data; on Android and the guest web, the same search runs through the app. Browse the area, pick your spot, seal it in.
How a restaurant night runs
- The owner sets the mood in the title — “Cheap eats only,” “Anniversary-worthy,” “Within 15 minutes of Raj” — and optionally the date the crew is going out.
- Everyone submits one restaurant, hidden from the table.
- At the draw, fate books the vibe. The winner unseals with its map card, ready to navigate.
- Accept your fate, add it to the calendar, and go argue about appetizers instead.
Why hidden picks fix dinner
Open suggestions converge: the first name dropped anchors everyone else, the loudest eater wins, and the group settles for the safest median option. Hidden picks mean the quiet friend’s hole-in-the-wall has exactly the same odds as the usual spot. Dinner gets interesting again.
