Choose a restaurant: where shall we eat together?
Pizza sounds good, but which restaurant works for your group? Use fragab to collect agreement on specific suggestions. Giving the budget, area and date in the question makes “I don’t mind” easier to turn into a useful decision.
Check what everyone needs first
Agree on an approximate budget and neighbourhood. Discuss essential requirements directly, such as suitable vegetarian dishes or step-free access. Personal reasons do not need to go in a visible poll.
Check with each restaurant whether it is open and can accommodate your group on the chosen day. A popular choice is little help if the only available table seats four.
Compare actual places
Rather than just listing cuisines, describe each restaurant using the same information:
- Name and location
- Cuisine and suitable food choices
- Approximate price per person
- Travel options and possible start time
You can narrow down the cuisine first if necessary. Base the final vote on places you have checked: choosing “pizza” alone may just start another discussion about three different pizzerias.
Create the group vote
- Put the date, group size and budget in the description.
- Add the restaurants as text options and give their locations.
- Ask people to select every place that works for them.
- Share the participant link and give a deadline before you book.
- Review the replies, then make and confirm the reservation separately.
Live example: choosing a restaurant in New York
Italian food, vegetable dishes or noodles: three suggestions are up for a vote. The restaurant names are fictional. Their location fields refer to the real New York neighbourhoods West Village, Chelsea and East Village. Five sample participants have selected their preferences.
Try the selection without saving changes. This poll does not reserve a table. Create your own poll for your group’s decision.
If two places tie
Check the practical requirements and common availability. Follow up on missing replies before making the reservation. A final vote between the two remaining options can help if the decision is still open.
Confirm the restaurant name, address, time and number of people. If the day is undecided, start with a date poll.
