Random Restaurant Generator

Stuck choosing dinner again. This random restaurant generator makes the call for you. Add your own spots, save them, and let the picker choose.

What this tool does

This tool helps you decide where to eat with one click. You type restaurant names into a simple field. The list saves in your browser and stays ready for next time. Then the picker picks one at random and shows the result clearly. It works for solo meals, dates, and group nights.

How to use this tool

1. Type a restaurant name in the input field. Example: Pizza Palace.
2. Click Add, or press Enter to save it.
3. Repeat to build your list with as many names as you like.
4. Click Pick Random Restaurant to start the picker.
5. Watch the brief animation, then read the chosen name.
6. Remove a name with the X button next to it.
7. Click Clear All to remove every name after a quick prompt.

Inputs and controls explained

What the output means

After you click Pick Random Restaurant, a quick icon spin appears. The tool then shows one name in large text. That name is your pick. If the list has one entry, the picker selects that entry right away. If the list is empty, the page asks you to add names first.

Key features you can use

• Saved list. Your list stores in your browser, not on a server.
• One tap random choice. The tool picks a single name per round.
• Duplicate guard. The picker blocks repeated names in the list.
• Quick add. Press Enter to add faster, no mouse needed.
• Clean slate. Clear All removes the list after a confirmation.

Fairness and randomness

Each entry has an equal chance every time you run the random restaurant generator. The picker does a uniform draw across the full list. No entry gets extra weight.

Tips to get the best results

• Use clear names like Sushi House Main Street.
• Add both dine in and takeout spots.
• Add nearby neighborhoods or notes in the name if useful.
• Keep the list fresh. Remove places you no longer visit.
• If you want a place to appear more often, add it as separate entries with clear labels.

Examples and common use cases

• Group dinner. Add five favorites, run the picker, head out.
• Team lunch. Build a weekly list and draw a place each Friday.
• Date night. Enter your shortlist and let chance pick the vibe.
• Travel days. Collect options near your hotel and test something new.
• Delivery choice. Add your go to chains and make a fast call.

Notes and limitations

• This is a manual list. It draws from the names you add.
• Data stays on your device through browser storage.
• Use the same device and browser to keep your list.
• Private browsing forgets the list after the session ends.
• The animation hides shortly after it shows the result.
• Large lists may feel slower on older devices.

Troubleshooting

• No result appears. Add at least one name, then run the picker.
• Want to edit a name. Remove it, then add the updated name.
• Need a clean start. Use Clear All, then rebuild your list.
• Accents or symbols. Use plain text for best results.

Why save your list

A saved list cuts decision time. You build it once, then reuse it for weeks. Friends can suggest places, and you add them on the spot. The picker keeps choices fair every round.
