What to Eat Wheel — Spin to Decide Tonight's Dinner
Decision fatigue is most acute at about 6 pm on a weeknight, when the person who spent all day making decisions is now standing in the kitchen being asked to make another one. The what to eat wheel doesn't pretend to solve this. It just takes the decision off your plate — so to speak — by turning it into a quick spin.
Twelve options come pre-loaded: Pizza, Tacos, Sushi, Pasta, Burgers, Curry, Stir-fry, Salad, Ramen, Steak, Soup, and Sandwiches. The wheel works best when every entry is something you'd genuinely be happy eating — no decoy options, no sneaking in a salad you secretly hope won't land. If you'd be disappointed by a result, take it off the wheel.
Make it yours: remove what you never order, add your local favourites, include specific restaurants rather than cuisine types if that's more useful. A family can each get one veto entry they lock in, then spin the rest. The wheel won't settle every argument, but it will settle most of them.

Frequently asked questions
What dinners come pre-loaded on the what to eat wheel?
Pizza, Tacos, Sushi, Pasta, Burgers, Curry, Stir-fry, Salad, Ramen, Steak, Soup, and Sandwiches — a deliberately broad mix of cuisines and effort levels.
Can I add specific restaurants instead of cuisines?
Yes — and often more useful. Replace 'Pizza' with the name of your actual local pizzeria. That way the wheel picks where you're ordering from, not just what category.
What if I spin and get something I don't want?
That feeling is actually useful information. If you're disappointed by the result, that usually means you already had a preference. Either respin or ask yourself what you were hoping for.
Can my partner and I share a customised dinner wheel?
Yes — build the wheel together, then use the Share button to get a link you both bookmark. Load it up any time the nightly debate starts.
How many options should I put on the dinner wheel?
6–12 works well. Too few and it becomes predictable; too many and some options never seem to land. 8 is a practical sweet spot for most households.
