Lunch has a world of possible options. You can bring from home, or choose from a nearly infinite list of options. Many services have gone to extensive lengths to inform you of your options. They have lists, categories, reviews, photos, directions, maps, menus, and everything short of smells coming out of your device.
The problem is that we don’t care about the options.
We just want a place to eat, it can be one of a number of locations.
After working in a office for any lenght of time you naturally narrow to a short list of lunch options. These places are those with which you are familiar. You understand the menu (yeah, we might cover that later), you have preferred menu options, and you know where it is.
On our team we couldn’t avoid the issue any longer. Choosing a lunch location was a problem that needed to be solved.
We simplified the process down to how we would want it to flow. There isn’t much flare, because it’s not needed. I know where I am willing to eat.
The basic premise:
- Make a list of places you are willing to eat.
- Choose the dates/times you want a suggestion.
- The tool will send you a suggestion.
So we are building Lunch Radio. It’s not a fancy app. It is a small, simple tool that is designed to eleviate your lunch decision making.
Version 1 is build just for the individual. One playlist, one suggestion a day in the app.
In Version 2, we hope to have shared playlists. Where you and your team can get the same suggestion on the same day. It would also be amazing to see a “Nashville Barbeque” playlist, where you could subscribe for your next visit.
Because lunch isn’t about the options, its about the desicion.
Run over to getlunchradio.com to sign up for our beta. We are releasing in many countries on launch. We only have 10 spots left on the beta. We hope you love it as much as we have.
