"What do you want for lunch?"
"Anything's fine."
"How about mala hot pot?"
"Not really feeling it."
"Salad?"
"Nah."
…
This conversation plays out every day. "Anything" is never really anything — there's a veto power operating in the background, but no one can say what they actually want.
Toolshu's What to Eat Today tool makes the decision for you with one button — and supports a custom food list.

How to Use It
Open the page, click Go, and the tool randomly picks one item from a built-in food database.
Not happy with it? Click again. Get another one.
If the default options don't match your tastes or what's available in your city, click Customize and fill in your regular restaurants, favorite dishes, and nearby delivery options. From then on, every random pick comes only from your list — no more landing on something you have no way of actually getting.
Why Do People Struggle to Decide?
There's a concept in psychology called decision fatigue — the more decisions a person makes throughout the day, the worse their subsequent decision-making becomes, and the harder even small choices feel.
Eating seems trivial, but it actually involves quite a few variables: taste, price, distance, queue time, what you had last time, whether the people you're with will like it… When the brain is tired, even this small decision becomes a real burden.
Delegating the choice to a random number is a genuine way to lighten that cognitive load. And here's the useful part: if the result makes you think "not that" — you already know what you want.
Pair It with the Spin Wheel for Group Meals
When everyone in a group claims they'll eat "anything," try Toolshu's Spin Wheel (https://toolshu.com/en/spin-wheel) — enter a few candidate restaurants, gather around, and watch the wheel spin. Wherever it lands, that's where you go. The process feels inclusive, and the result is hard for anyone to argue with.
