Lunch is the meal most likely to be skipped, postponed, or settled with whatever is closest. This preset loads sixteen lunches you can actually order or make on a workday, so one spin answers “what should I eat today?” and you get back to your day.
Step-by-step for lunch break
- Keep the options you can realistically get within your break — delete the rest for today.
- Spin once and commit to the result; the rule is what makes it work.
- If the winner does not fit (sold out, too far), spin exactly once more.
- Note what you ate so the week stays varied without any tracking app.
- Refresh the list when a new place opens nearby or the season changes.
Why a random pick works at midday
Decision fatigue peaks around noon, which is why everyone defaults to the same sandwich. The wheel draws with the browser’s Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) using rejection sampling, so every lunch has an identical chance regardless of list order. It is a neutral tiebreaker, not a recommendation engine — no ads, no sponsored placement, just lunch.
Customizing the list
- Split the list into “office days” and “home days” if your routine differs.
- Tag cheap options for tight weeks and treat options for Fridays.
- Add one healthy default so the wheel sometimes decides for your diet too.
- Eating with colleagues? Let each person veto one item before the spin.
Practical tips
- First spin is final — re-spins turn lunch into a meeting.
- Pair the wheel with a dinner picker so both meals are decided before noon.
- Keep leftovers as an option; they deserve a fair chance.
- For group restaurant votes rather than dishes, use the lucky draw.
