Find somewhere good tonight.

Real restaurants near you, free, no account. On a group night, one link gets the dinner debate out of the chat.

Booth is a free web app for deciding where a group goes out. You start a plan, drop its link in the chat, and everyone suggests, approves, and vetoes real places until the night is decided. Booth keeps each person’s dietary tags with them, so every suggestion is checked against the whole table. What follows is that contrast in two phone mock-ups: the same night in a group chat, then in a Booth.

Whole sentences work: the food, the vibe, the budget, the area.

Got a link from a friend? Just tap it.

Anywhere Thai has no vegan mains, so it’s out for Priya. No conflicts found in Somewhere Peruvian’s listing.

What Booth is

Booth is a free web app for deciding where a group goes out. You start a plan, drop its link in the chat, and everyone suggests, approves, and vetoes real places until the night is decided.

Usually that means a restaurant: everyone votes on where to eat, and Booth checks each place against the table’s dietary needs before the night is decided.

Signing in with Google or Apple is only how Booth knows who you are. It shows your group your name, remembers what you can eat, and nothing more.

Nomi’s a text away.

Nomi+1 413 248 6189
  1. You: add the peruvian place downtown
  2. Nomi: Added Somewhere Peruvian to Saturday dinner. Its listing shows vegan options for Priya; confirm dietary needs with the restaurant.
  3. You: who’s approved
  4. Nomi: Alex, Priya and Sam. You’re the last one.
Not the group thread. One contact who remembers the plan, so you can put a place forward, approve one, or ask where things stand without opening anything.

Nomi is +1 413 248 6189. Booth never texts you from any other number.

Fair questions.

How do you decide where to eat with a group?

Put the options where everyone can see them, make the vote explicit, and write the objections down. A Booth room is that, structured: everyone suggests and approves, a veto costs a written reason, and the decision cannot scroll away. The longer answer, including when a group chat or a poll serves you better, is in how to decide where to eat with a group.

How do you find new restaurants worth trying?

Maps, lists and word of mouth all produce candidates; the hard part is the filter. Your friends are the filter. Search near you, put the promising ones to the group, and let the vetoes kill the duds before anyone books a table. The methods that work, Booth’s and otherwise, are in how to find new restaurants worth trying.

What does Booth cost?

Nothing. Booth is free: a web app, no install, no paid tier.

How a night comes together

  1. Start it.Name the night, pick the area, set a time.
  2. Drop the link in the chat.That’s the whole invite. Tapping it signs everyone into the same room.
  3. Decide together.Approve, veto with a reason, and let Nomi flag any place that doesn’t work for someone at the table.

Booth remembers who’s vegan and who has the nut allergy, so nobody else has to.
