About Decideish
Decideish picks one restaurant for you. You answer a few questions, and you get a place to go, with directions.
Why we made it
We're five students, and we know the struggle. Whether you're with friends or on your own, figuring out where to eat can take longer than eating. You scroll, read reviews, compare ratings, and end up more overwhelmed than when you started.
We surveyed 233 people. 86% said they struggle to decide where to eat at least sometimes, 54% said it takes them 10 minutes or more, and 72% said they would likely use an app like this. It's our own survey, not a published study.
That decision fatigue is what Decideish is for. Instead of a long list to sort through, you get one recommendation, so you spend less time choosing and more time eating.
How it works
- Answer a couple of quick questions: your mood, a cuisine, your budget and how far you'll go.
- Get one restaurant picked for you.
- Get directions there, or, where the restaurant offers it, order through your delivery app.

Why Cambridge
We're starting in Cambridge, MA because of how many different kinds of food it has in a small area. It's the right place to prove the idea before we grow.
How we choose restaurants
Restaurants come from two places: ones we researched and picked ourselves, and extra places from OpenStreetMap, a free community map. Some are places we've eaten at, some are local favorites, and some are spots most people haven't heard of yet.
What's next
Decideish is coming as a free app, starting on Android, with iPhone in the future. This website lets you try it out before you download.
