Frequently asked questions

Can I use this to pick a specific restaurant?

Yes — add your local restaurant names instead of cuisine types for a personalised picker.

Is this different from the What to Eat wheel?

They serve a similar purpose. This version focuses on cuisine types and broader food categories, while the What to Eat wheel is more about specific dishes.

Can I save my food list?

Your options stay available during your current browser session, including after a page refresh. They reset when the session ends.

Can I add desserts and drinks too?

Yes — add whatever decision categories you want. The wheel is fully customisable.

How the wheel works

How does the wheel choose a winner?

The wheel randomly selects a result before the animation starts. It then calculates the exact final rotation needed for that result to land under the pointer. This means the displayed winner always matches where the wheel visually stops — every single time.

Is every option equally likely to win?

Yes. Every option on the wheel has an equal chance of being selected. The wheel uses your browser's built-in random number generator with no weighting or bias. The only way to change the odds is to manually add duplicate entries.

Can results be manipulated?

No. The random selection happens entirely inside your own browser. There is no server involved, no hidden logic, and no way to influence the outcome. What you see is what you get.

Why does the wheel spin before showing the result?

The spin animation makes the result feel more exciting. But the winner is already decided before the wheel starts moving. The animation reveals what was already chosen — the visual result always matches the actual result.
