Frequently Asked Questions
- 1. Can I use this tool on my phone?
-
Yes. Our site is mobile-responsive, so you can quickly generate fresh dining ideas on your smartphone or tablet. The interface adapts to any screen size for a seamless experience, whether you’re home or on the move.
- 2. How does this website determine which restaurants to list?
-
We rely on Google Maps data for the selected address and radius. After filtering based on the cuisines you’ve chosen, we generate a final list and pick one restaurant at random for you to explore.
- 3. What if I want to skip certain cuisines?
-
Simply uncheck any cuisines you’re not interested in. Our system will only search among the ones you keep selected, giving you suggestions that fit your tastes better.
- 4. Can I share my randomly selected restaurant with friends?
-
Absolutely. Once you’ve been given a spot, you can share its address or website link through text, social media, or any other platform for easy meetups.
- 5. Will this site store my preferences long-term?
-
We store your search criteria in your own browser’s local storage for convenience. This means you don’t have to reselect your cuisines and distance each time. We do not keep permanent records on our server.
- 6. How far can I set my travel distance?
-
You can adjust the slider anywhere between 1 mile and 50 miles. It’s entirely up to you whether you prefer a nearby hangout or a longer journey for something special.
- 7. Does it work in countries outside the United States?
-
Yes, as long as Google Maps supports the Places API for your region. Just enter a valid address and the site will attempt to pull in nearby restaurants for you.
- 8. Will I see repeats if I click multiple times?
-
Because we pick randomly from a curated search result, it's possible to see repeats if there are fewer restaurants in your specified area. However, for most locations, you'll get fresh suggestions.
- 9. Can I add my own custom search terms?
-
At the moment, we focus on predefined cuisine filters for simplicity. We may expand to allow personalized keywords in the future, so you can refine the results further.
- 10. Is there a limit to how many times I can generate suggestions?
-
There’s no limit. You can use this tool as often as you like to discover new dining places. If you’re stuck wondering where to eat, feel free to generate fresh ideas at any time.
