Once you and your friends have told Lunchn where you like to eat, when it comes time to pick where you to to lunch you can all vote by logging in or using your mobile phones on where to go. You can organize your friends into groups for easy management—Coworkers, Softball Teammates, Guys-You-Get-Schwasted-With-At-Duffy’s— and add your favorite establishments selectively to each group. If your favorite pizza place is so far from your work you know you’d never get your coworkers to all drive there for lunch, save that one for your softball team group. Additionally there are some small but handy features like the ability to flag your profile with a car, indicating you’re willing to grab people on the way to the restaurant in an informal car pool. If that all seems far far too complicated, give the Wheel of Food a try and spin your way to a random lunch experience. Alternately, start a trend of frugality at work and show your co-workers how much they would save—nearly $1000 a year!—by bringing their own lunches.
