About this wheel
End the dinner standoff in one spin
The famous food loop, where you ask and they shrug, usually isn't about food at all. Both people would happily eat several of the options, but nobody wants to be the one who chose wrong. A spin takes that pressure off. The wheel decides, everyone had the same odds, and dinner gets picked in seconds instead of forty minutes.
The preset foods are just a starting point. Swap in the takeout places near you, the restaurants your group actually goes to, or whatever you can cook with what's in the fridge. Enter one option per line and the wheel redraws as you type. Once the list feels right, save it to My Wheels so your personal food wheel is one click away every evening.
Want a weekly meal plan? Spin once per weekday and write each result down as that day's dinner. Five spins and you're done. If you're deciding with people who aren't in the room, open a Spin With Friends room and everyone watches the same wheel land on the same restaurant live. You can also send a Quick Share link so a friend gets a copy of your food wheel.
How to use
How to use the food wheel
- Put your real options on the wheel. Replace the preset foods with your local restaurants, delivery favorites, or meals you can cook tonight, one per line.
- Spin the wheel. Click Spin or the wheel itself. The slice under the pointer is what you're eating.
- Commit to the result. Agree before spinning that the wheel's pick is final. One veto per person is fine, just decide the rules first.
- Save your food wheel. Store the finished list in My Wheels so tomorrow's dinner decision is one click and one spin.
Tip: before you spin, cross off anything you'd genuinely refuse to eat. Every option left on the wheel should be one you can live with.
Ideas and use cases
Who spins for their next meal
Any group that eats together eventually deadlocks on where. These are the classic standoffs the wheel settles:
Couples
The eternal dinner question
Load both of your go-to spots and spin. The wheel takes the blame, and you're eating twenty minutes sooner.
Roommates
Shared takeout orders
Everyone adds one or two options to the list, then a single spin picks for the whole apartment. Vetoes end once it lands.
Home
Family dinner picks
Let the kids take turns spinning for dinner night. Picky eaters take a wheel's pick better than a parent's announcement.
Work
Office lunch runs
Paste the lunch spots near the office and spin on the shared screen. The team watches the pick happen, so the debate ends there.
Cooking
Fridge roulette
List the meals you can actually make with what you have (stir fry, omelette, pasta) and spin instead of ordering out again.
Planning
Weekly meal plans
Load a bigger pool of meals and turn on auto remove winner. Five spins give every weekday a different dinner, no repeats.
