What’s For Lunch?

That’s the question asked by CrazyMenu, the latest site to offer to help manage your dining-out experience. In addition to restaurant listings, reviews, Google maps, and ratings, they offer some services directed specifically at folks looking to eat lunch. Their “Pick-a-Place” tool is for friends trying to figure out where to eat together; it uses a voting scheme and hooks into the major instant messenger services to allow fast group decision making. “Group Order” is aimed more at the office manager: it’s a way to push out the menu for a particular establishment to a bunch of folks, then collate selections so that you can place one order instead of twenty.
Though just launched, Crazymenu has extensive restaurant listings and reviews already; menus are a bit thinner on the ground. You need an account to make use of the services, but it’s free to sign up.

What a fresh idea. At work, I’m usually the one responsible for picking restaurants for our team lunches. It can get somewhat frustrating when you’re balancing the preferences and dietary requirements of 8 people. We usually end up going to the same place as a result. Am eager to try out “pick a place” next time.
