How to make the most of the lunch picker
Lunchtime comes around every day, and the simple question "what should I eat for lunch?" causes surprising decision fatigue. When you can't agree with coworkers or keep repeating the same meal, handing the decision to a roulette lets you settle it fast and fairly. This tool keeps representative dishes for each cuisine as candidates and draws one of them at random.
| Cuisine | Example dishes |
|---|---|
| Korean | kimchi stew, soybean stew, bibimbap, stir-fried pork, cold noodles, gukbap |
| Chinese | jajangmyeon, jjamppong, sweet & sour pork, malatang, fried rice |
| Japanese | sushi, ramen, tonkatsu, udon, curry |
| Western | pasta, pizza, steak, burger, salad |
| Snacks | tteokbokki, gimbap, ramyeon, sundae, fritters |
| Asian | pho, pad thai, bun cha, fresh spring rolls, curry |
The candidate list is a default reference set. If you want to swap in restaurants near your office or your own preferences, use the Random Food Picker to enter your own candidates. For dinner, the Dinner Menu Picker works the same way. To learn why choosing a menu is hard and how to decide quickly, read the guide for when you can't decide what to eat.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the lunch menu picker choose a menu?
It randomly selects one item from the candidate list of the chosen cuisine (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Western and more) using the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues). Modulo bias is removed so every candidate has an equal chance.
What if I don't like the suggested result?
Press the button again to get a new menu instantly. You can also change the cuisine to get a different type of food. The pick is a random choice for fun, so spin as many times as you like and choose the one you prefer.
Can I add my own candidates?
Yes. Use the Random Food Picker to type your own candidates and draw from them. Enter restaurant names near your office or any dishes you want, and it picks one at random.
Is my information stored?
No. Every pick runs only in your browser, and your selections and results are never sent to or stored on a server. No sign-up or install is required.
