Decide on where to eat in 10 minutes or less

I have been working on a project on lovable. Leveraging ChatGPT, I came up with the PRD

Deciding where to eat as a group should be simple. In reality, it’s a slow, frustrating, and surprisingly high-friction process.

The pattern is familiar:

  • Someone asks, “What do you want to eat?” or “Where do you want to eat?”
  • Responses range from “I don’t care” to wildly different preferences.
  • Ideas live across text threads, Notes apps, screenshots, or someone’s mental list.
  • Constraints like price, cuisine, location, and availability surface late, if at all.
  • The group either defaults to the same safe choice or spends far too long debating.

What should take minutes often takes 30+ minutes, multiple back-and-forths, and still ends in mild dissatisfaction. This product allows for users to submit their ideas, and everybody with that link can vote, similar to ranked choice voting.

MVP1 will allow users to copy/paste the restaurant choices and everyone can rank. The reservations and menu will still be done offline for this MVP.
