Quick Pick - Random Food Recommendation
The fastest way to answer "What should I eat?" in just 5 seconds
What is Quick Pick?
Quick Pick is the fastest and simplest food recommendation feature offered by What to Eat. With just one button click, you can get a random recommendation from 16 popular menu items. Just as the name suggests, your menu for today is decided in literally one second.
When lunch time is approaching and you just can't decide what to eat, when you don't want to waste time choosing a menu with friends, or when you just want to leave it up to fate - try Quick Pick. You'll get an answer immediately without any complicated process.
💡 Did you know? According to psychology research, the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions a day. Reducing even small decisions allows you to focus your energy on more important matters.
Recommended For
- Those with decision paralysis - If looking at a menu only deepens your dilemma
- Those short on time - If you don't want to spend 30 minutes of your lunch hour just deciding what to eat
- Those seeking new experiences - If you've been eating the same thing and want a change
- Those who believe in fate - If you want to say "Today, let the universe decide!"
How to Use
- On the What to Eat main screen, click the 🎲 Quick Pick card.
- Press the Get Recommendation button.
- Watch as various foods flash across the screen in a shuffle.
- After about 2-3 seconds, today's recommended menu is decided!
- If you're not satisfied, click Try Another to get a new recommendation.
What is Decision Fatigue?
Decision fatigue is a phenomenon where judgment and willpower deteriorate due to repetitive decision-making. This is why Steve Jobs wore the same clothes every day, and why Mark Zuckerberg sticks to gray t-shirts. They didn't want to waste energy on trivial decisions.
The same applies to choosing meals. You need to make 3 meal decisions a day, which adds up to 21 decisions a week. When these decisions accumulate, the energy you need for important work or creative activities gets depleted. Quick Pick takes care of these small but tiring decisions for you.
