Yes! All our core decision-making tools are completely free to use. You don't need to create an account, pay any fees, or provide credit card information. We may display advertisements to support the service, but the tools themselves remain free for everyone.

Decide Where to Eat uses Google Places API to find restaurants near your location. Simply enter your suburb or city, and we'll populate a spinning wheel with nearby dining options. Click the spin button, and the wheel will randomly select a restaurant for you! Try it now on our Decide Where to Eat page.

The tool searches within a specific suburb or city area at a time. For best results, enter the exact suburb where you want to eat to get the most relevant restaurant options within walking or driving distance.

Absolutely! We use JavaScript's built-in random number generator with proper entropy to ensure fair, unbiased selection. Every restaurant on the wheel has an equal chance of being selected, regardless of size or position.

We rely on Google Places API for restaurant data. If a restaurant doesn't appear, it may not be listed in Google's database, or it might be categorized differently. Make sure you're searching in the correct suburb or city where the restaurant is located.

Currently, the wheel shows all restaurants found in your search area. We're working on features that will let you filter by cuisine type, price range, and ratings. Stay tuned for updates!
