Decide where to eat with friends
Palytt helps friends, couples and roommates decide where to eat without a 40-message thread. Start a Room, invite the table, and Palytt scores each restaurant for the whole group, shows every friend's best dish, and lets everyone vote. You get one shared answer that fits more than one person's taste.
"Where should we eat?" is the easiest question to ask and the hardest to finish. Palytt is built for group dining decisions: match tastes, rank places, and get to a yes without another 40-message thread.

Why does the group chat deadlock?
One person wants spicy. Another wants quiet. Someone's "near me" only. Reviews don't resolve conflicting tastes — they add more tabs. Palytt's job is to shrink the set to options that fit more than one person.
How do groups decide faster with Palytt?
Each person brings their taste profile (or shares preferences).
Palytt ranks restaurants that fit the group — not just the loudest opinion.
You pick from a short list instead of debating the entire city.
Still use Maps for turn-by-turn; still use Yelp when you want deep reviews — use Palytt when you need agreement.
What about "near me"?
Search phrases like group dining near me and where to eat near me are often won by Maps and big directories. Palytt doesn't pretend to own the local pack. We help once you care which place fits the people at the table. See how Palytt compares with Google Maps and Yelp.
Tips for the planner or host
- Collect preferences before the night-of scramble.
- Share the shortlist in the group chat instead of open-ended "ideas?"
- Default to the top taste-matched picks when time is short.
Good to know
Is this a Yelp alternative?
For group preference decisions, yes — that's our lane. For exhaustive reviews and maps, use Yelp or Google Maps.
Can we use it for date night or roommates?
Yes — any group that has to agree.
Is there a web picker without the app?
The primary path is the iOS App Store today. Palytt works best as a mobile-first experience.
