Pick a team lunch spot in one link

Team lunches, leaving dos, end-of-project dinners: someone always ends up chasing replies. A poll link gets a decision in one go.

How to run it

Set the day and time around the team’s calendars first.

Shortlist places within walking distance of the office, or search the area to find popular spots nearby.

Paste the link into Slack, Teams or an email. It works anywhere a link does, and nobody needs an account.

Lock it in and share the result so whoever’s booking knows where to call.

Think about dietary needs and budgets up front. Include at least one option that works for everyone.

Larger groups may need to book ahead or order from a set menu, so check before you lock it in.

Voters see each other’s names next to their picks, which keeps it friendly and transparent.

Does it work in Microsoft Teams and Slack?

Yes. It’s an ordinary link, so you can paste it into any chat or email.

Do colleagues need to sign up?

No. They open the link, tap a place and type their name.
