Frequently Asked Questions
Should I put cuisines or restaurant names?
Either works! Some people prefer broad categories (Mexican), while others type in specific spots (Chipotle).
What if we both hate the result?
The secret trick: If the wheel lands on Sushi and you both groan, it means you actually wanted Pizza. The wheel helped you figure it out!
Can I save my custom restaurant list?
Yes, after adding your local spots, use the Share button to bookmark your custom wheel.
The "Decision Fatigue" Phenomenon
By the end of the workday, your brain has made thousands of micro-decisions. This leads to a psychological state called Decision Fatigue, making simple choices like "what to eat" feel overwhelming. A Food Roulette Wheel offloads this cognitive burden to a machine, providing instant relief.
The 3-Spin Compromise
If you don't trust a single spin, try this method with your partner:
- Each person adds 3 restaurants to the wheel.
- Spin the wheel 3 times to get 3 "finalists".
- You each get to veto one of the finalists.
- The remaining option is your dinner!
