Priya's crewFri 7:30 pm · 5 people
Friday dinner
Rule: most yeses wins. A tie goes to the host.
- Free to startNo card needed. The host picks the plan.
- Your friends join freeWhatever plan the host is on.
- Your contacts stay yoursWe only use them to send the invites you choose.
Everyone says “I don't mind.” Nobody means it.
So the group chat goes round in circles until somebody gives in. Sound familiar?
Fine, we're going here.
One person gives up and decides. Everyone else grumbles.Let's just do the usual.
Same place again, because it's easier than arguing.Anywhere but sushi.
Everyone says no. Nobody suggests anything.I'll do a poll.
Then someone remembers a place they “really want to try.”Let's flip a coin.
Fair, but it doesn't care what anyone wants.Food hall?
Everyone eats separately, together.
How it works
Three steps, and it's settled before anyone gets hungry.
About 2 minutesEverybody swipes
The same deck lands on every phone. Dietary needs and allergies are already set, so nobody has to explain themselves.
The pick wins. Settled.
When the votes are in, the crew's rule names a winner. Nobody had to be the person who decided.
Made for your table
Six people, six opinions, one table.
Everyone votes at once instead of arguing in the group chat. The rule picks the place, so the loudest voice doesn't get to.
Set the filters once.
A nut allergy, a picky eater, a grandparent who won't drive far. Save the crew with its dietary needs and a search radius, and every person starts covered.
“What do you fancy?” “Not there.”
Works for two as well as twelve. Swipe the same deck, and the place you both said yes to wins.
Pick the plan that fits your crew
The host picks the plan. Everyone they invite joins free, whatever plan they're on.

Fair questions
Short answers. If yours isn't here, ask us when you join the beta.
Do my friends have to pay?
No. The host picks the plan, and everyone they invite joins free, whatever plan they're on.
What if we can't agree?
The crew's rule decides. You can have everyone agree unanimously, go with the most yeses, let anyone veto, count the host's vote double, or run a ranked choice. Premium lets the host choose the rule.
How do allergies work?
Full dietary and allergy filters come on every plan, Free included, with no limit on how many you set. For a severe allergy, still check with the restaurant before you order.
When can I get in?
ChowCrew is in beta and invites go out in waves. Leave your email below and we'll send yours when a spot opens.
Is it only for dinner?
Dinner is where it starts. A crew works for any meal out, and the search radius runs from 40 miles on Free to 100 on Premium.
Where are we eating? Settled.
Beta spots go out by invite. Leave your email and we'll send yours.
