Making it fun to figure out dinner
Stop debating dinner.
Start voting.
One person starts a vote. Everyone swipes from their own phone. The most-loved pick wins — restaurants or recipes. No more nightly "I don't know, what do you want?"

PlatePoll gives that time back — let the household vote, and dinner decides itself.
How it works
Dinner decided in three swipes, not three text threads.

One person starts a vote. Everyone in the household swipes yes or no on the options from their own phone, synced live, and the option with the most votes wins. No group texts, no nightly debate.
Can we vote on both restaurants and recipes?
Yes. Choose "eat out" to vote on nearby restaurants with live ratings, photos, and hours, or "cook in" to vote on recipes. There's also a solo "Just me" mode for when you're deciding alone.

PlatePoll is free to start. PlatePoll Pro is $14.99 per month, or $79 per year (just $6.58/month) with a 7-day free trial.
