What Should We Eat Tonight?
Spin & Decide
End the nightly "what's for dinner" debate in seconds. Pre-loaded with 20 popular cuisines, or add your favorite local restaurants. Perfect for couples, families, and indecisive foodies.
How People Use the Dinner Wheel
From decision fatigue to meal planning—make dinnertime easier.
The Nightly "What's for Dinner" Debate
Stop the endless back-and-forth with your partner or family. Add everyone's acceptable options to the wheel, spin, and the debate is over. No more spending 30 minutes deciding what takes 20 minutes to cook.
Couple's Dinner Decision Tool
Both say "I don't care, you pick"? Load the wheel with cuisines you both enjoy, eliminate recent choices, and let fate decide. Removes the pressure from one person always choosing.
Family Meal Planning
Kids complain about dinner? Give everyone a voice. Each family member adds two options to the wheel. Spin for tonight's meal. Everyone feels heard, and pickiness decreases when they had input.
Rotating Through Healthy Options
Build a wheel of balanced meals you want to eat more often—salad bowls, grilled chicken, stir-fry, poke. Spin daily to ensure variety and avoid defaulting to pizza every night.
Discovering New Cuisines
Want to be more adventurous? Add cuisines you've never tried—Ethiopian, Peruvian, Vietnamese, Lebanese. Spin to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Use the "Remove & Spin" feature to track what you've tried.
Breaking Dinner Ruts
Do you eat the same five meals on repeat? The wheel forces variety. Load it with 15-20 options, including ones you forget about. Let randomness reintroduce you to meals you actually enjoy but never think to cook.
Building Your Perfect Meal Wheel
How to Add Your Favorite Restaurants
Instead of generic cuisines, add specific restaurant names—"Chipotle," "Local Thai Place," "Mom's Homemade Lasagna." Be specific. The wheel remembers your list, so you build it once and use it forever. Update it when you discover new spots.
Healthy Eating Rotation Tips
Create two wheels: one for weeknight healthy meals (grilled salmon, Buddha bowls, chicken salad) and one for weekend indulgences (burgers, pizza, tacos). Bookmark each URL using the "Share List" button. Open the appropriate one based on the day.
Dietary Restriction Customization
Filter the default options or start from scratch. Vegetarian? Remove meat-heavy cuisines and add plant-based options. Gluten-free? Add restaurants you know are safe. The wheel adapts to your needs—no bloat, just options that work for you.
Weekly Meal Planning Strategy
Every Sunday, spin the wheel seven times and write down the results. That's your meal plan for the week. Use "Remove & Spin" to ensure no repeats. Shop for groceries based on what the wheel chose. Decision fatigue eliminated for the entire week.
Decision Fatigue Is Real—Especially for Dinner
The science behind why choosing dinner feels so hard.
We Make 200+ Food Decisions Daily
Research from Cornell University found that people make over 200 food-related decisions every day. By dinnertime, your decision-making capacity is depleted. A random wheel removes the cognitive load—you're not choosing, fate is.
The Paradox of Choice
Having too many options makes decisions harder, not easier. When everything sounds good (or nothing does), people freeze. The dinner wheel narrows infinite options down to one clear answer in three seconds.
Reduces Relationship Tension
Studies show that everyday micro-decisions (like dinner) cause more relationship friction than big ones. Outsourcing the decision to a neutral tool eliminates blame. Nobody picked wrong—the wheel did.
Increases Meal Satisfaction
When you spin a wheel, you're more likely to accept and enjoy the outcome. Psychological commitment: you agreed to the rules, so you're invested in the result. Compare that to settling on something after 20 minutes of debate—you're already annoyed before you eat.
