How the Food Picker Wheel works
The Food Picker Wheel chooses from meals, cuisines, recipes, or restaurants that are actually available to your group. It works best after dietary, budget, location, and opening-hour constraints are applied.
Filter before spinning
Remove options that conflict with allergies, dietary requirements, budget, delivery range, kitchen ingredients, or current opening hours.
Plan for variety
Remove each winner when building a weekly menu, or keep all entries when repeating a favorite meal is acceptable.
Practical ways to use the Food Picker Wheel
Households, friends, coworkers, and travelers can use the wheel to settle a meal choice after confirming that every listed option is suitable.
Choose dinner tonight
Add only meals you can cook, collect, or order within the available time so the winning result stays practical.
Pick a restaurant
Replace dish names with nearby restaurants that the group has already checked for price, availability, and dietary suitability.
Build a weekly menu
Spin several times and remove each selected meal to create a varied sequence without immediate repeats.
Set up the Food Picker Wheel
Agree on the meal constraints first. A smaller list of valid choices produces a more useful result than a large list that people will reject.
1. Check dietary needs
Confirm allergies, intolerances, religious requirements, and strong exclusions for everyone included in the decision.
2. Add available choices
Enter meals you have ingredients for or restaurants that are open and within range. Keep the list at one consistent level of detail.
3. Spin and confirm logistics
Use the result to decide, then verify ordering times, reservations, ingredients, or delivery availability before committing.
Food Picker Wheel FAQ
Practical answers for meal decisions, dietary constraints, and restaurant shortlists.
How do I account for dietary restrictions?+
Remove any option that is unsafe or unsuitable before spinning. For a group, confirm allergies, dietary requirements, cross-contamination concerns, budget, and access instead of relying on the wheel to evaluate them.
Should I enter dishes or restaurant names?+
Either works, but use one type per wheel. A dish wheel answers what to eat; a restaurant wheel answers where to get it. Keeping those questions separate makes the result clear.
How are results selected on the Food Picker Wheel?+
The browser chooses one visible entry with the Web Crypto API before the animation begins. Every visible slice has the same probability. Repeating a label creates another slice, so remove accidental duplicates when each label should have one chance.
How can I save changes to the Food Picker Wheel?+
Changes save automatically in local browser storage on this device. Use the export control to create a versioned .wheel file when you need a separate backup or want to move the setup to another browser. The site does not use accounts or cloud synchronization.
