What to Eat Wheel
The What to Eat Wheel is a free random food picker that chooses a type of food, from pizza and tacos to sushi and pho, when nobody can decide.
Spin the wheel and find a place nearby that serves what it lands on, or cook it at home. The default list covers 16 popular cuisines and dishes.
Add local restaurants or remove foods you don't eat. For a specific chain, use the Fast Food Wheel, or for home cooking, the What's for Dinner Wheel.

Rules for Spinning with Other People
A wheel only ends the debate if everyone agrees to it first.
-
One Spin Counts
Agree before you spin that the first result is the answer.
-
One Veto Each
Give everyone one veto per meal. After that, the wheel's choice stands.
-
Spin Twice for Big Groups
Spin for a type of food, then spin a second wheel of nearby places.
What to Eat Wheel vs. a Group Vote
A vote often ends in a tie or with the loudest person choosing. The wheel is quicker, and no single person's preference wins over the others.
