"Where do you want to go for lunch?" "I don't know, where do you want to go?" How often have you heard these words around your office during lunch hour? And how often has half of lunchtime been spent debating where to go? A new website mentioned in the Springwise Newsletter called CrazyMenu is setting out to simplify the lunch hour. The site can be used to perform a simple search for restaurants in the area, or to browse menus, snag coupons or read reviews. But here's the fun part: Using the "Pick-A-Place" feature, a member can send friends or colleagues restaurant ideas, which are then voted on by the recipients. And for the office interns tired of taking orders from 20 people, CrazyMenu also has a group order function that allows everyone to enter their order, which will then be compiled into an easy-to-use list that can be faxed, e-mailed or phoned in to the restaurant.
So far, the service is available in more than a dozen U.S. cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, Houston, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Dallas, San Jose, Detroit and Phoenix, in addition to Toronto, London and Paris. Registration is free.
