Where2Eat · iPhone & AndroidNobody wants to pick the restaurant.
So don't.
Where2Eat turns "I don't care, you pick" into a group you can actually agree with. Everyone swipes nearby restaurants on their own phone — and your friends don't even need the app.

From "what do you want?" to dinner, in three steps
Your lobby
- Dine-in
- 10 min away or less
- Show All matches
Start a lobby
Open Where2Eat and set the vibe — fast food or dine-in, five minutes away or thirty. You're the host, so you also pick how the group matches.
Send the link
Share the code however you already talk — text, group chat, whatever. Friends tap the link and it opens the app, or drops them straight into a browser if they don't have it.
It's a match
Verde Cantina · 0.6 mi
Swipe until you match
Everyone swipes privately on the same nearby spots. Nobody sees anyone else's votes — so nobody has to argue their case. When the group lands on one, that's dinner.
The part that actually matters
Your friends don't need the app.
You start the lobby in Where2Eat. Everyone else taps the link and swipes right there in their browser. No install. No account. No talking five people into downloading something just to pick dinner.
- Works on any phone with a browser
- Nothing to sign up for
- Same lobby, same restaurants, in real time

Why deciding where to eat is so hard
You're hungry, everyone in the group is hungry, and somehow the next twenty minutes disappear into "I don't know, what do you want?" and "not that place again." Deciding where to eat feels like it should be simple, but the moment more than one person is involved, it turns into a negotiation nobody wants to have.
Part of that is decision fatigue: the more restaurant options a maps app hands you, the harder it gets to actually commit to one. Add a second, third, or eighth person and you're not just weighing options anymore — you're negotiating them, which is exactly why someone always ends up saying "whatever, you pick" just to end the conversation.
How Where2Eat solves it
Where2Eat turns the group decision into something everyone signs off on, instead of something one person has to own. One person starts a lobby and shares a link; everyone else joins — from the app or straight from their phone's browser — and swipes through the same nearby restaurants at the same time. When the group lands on the same place, it's a match: dinner's decided, and nobody had to be the one who "picked wrong."
The host also picks the match mode: First Match ends the round the second two people land on the same place, while Show All keeps everyone's votes hidden until the swiping's done and then reveals every spot the group overlapped on. Either way it works as well for a couple deciding on date night as it does for a group of eight who can never agree, and dietary filters make sure vegetarian, vegan, and other restrictions are factored in before anyone starts swiping.
Frequently asked questions
Does everyone in the group need to download the app?
No. Only the person starting the lobby needs Where2Eat. Everyone else taps the invite link and swipes right in their browser — no app install, no account, about ten seconds to join.
How does Where2Eat actually work?
One person starts a lobby and shares the link. Everyone swipes through the same nearby restaurants on their own phone, and you get a match when the group agrees on a place — no more going around the table asking "I don't know, what do you want?"
How does the group decide on a match?
The host picks a match mode when setting up the lobby. First Match ends the round the moment two people swipe yes on the same restaurant. Show All keeps everyone's votes hidden until all the swiping's done, then reveals every place the group agreed on.
Can I use it with just one other person?
Yes — Where2Eat works for a table of two just as well as a table of eight. Couples deciding on date night are one of the most common use cases.
Does it work while traveling?
Yes. Where2Eat pulls from restaurants near your current location, so it works whether you're deciding on a spot near home or figuring out where to eat in a new city.
What if the group has different dietary needs?
Where2Eat has filters for common dietary needs like vegetarian and vegan, so they're factored in before anyone starts swiping. Premium adds cuisine filters like sushi, burgers, and pizza.
