A practical group dinner plan
Turn dinner indecision into a plan in 15 minutes
When everyone has a different craving, decide the guardrails first, compare a short list, then let the group choose. This keeps dinner fair without pretending there is one best restaurant for every group.
Create a group dinner pollThe 15-minute rule
Use it for tonight's dinner; give future plans more time to reserve.
A poll makes the decision visible. It does not guarantee a reservation, restaurant availability, or that every preference will win.
Check these four things before naming restaurants
Location
Pick the neighborhood or maximum travel time before comparing restaurants.
Budget
Use one price range the group can agree on, including drinks, tax, and tip if that matters tonight.
Dietary needs
Keep options that can serve everyone who is joining; do not make a guest negotiate after the vote.
Time
Set the arrival time and a voting cutoff so the group has time to reserve or leave.
A simple way to make the decision
Step 1
Make a short list
Choose three restaurants that meet the same location, budget, dietary, and timing constraints.
Step 2
Share one decision
Put the same facts beside each option, then send one poll link instead of collecting scattered chat replies.
Step 3
Follow the result
When voting closes, choose the highest-voted available option. If there is a tie, use the organizer's stated tie-breaker.
