Frequently Asked Questions About Restaurant Lists
What is a restaurant bucket list? ＋
A shared list of your dream restaurants. You collect suggestions, prioritize with emojis, and work through the list in order.
Do I need an account for the restaurant list? ＋
No. soonish works without registration. Create list, share link, done.
How does the ranking emerge from emojis? ＋
Each reaction has a weight (e.g., ⭐, 🌟, 🔥). soonish sums the votes and automatically creates a ranking. Ties are displayed – you decide spontaneously.
Can we create multiple restaurant lists (e.g., lunch, dinner, budget)? ＋
Yes. Create as many lists as you want – e.g., by time of day, neighborhood, or cuisine. Everything stays organized.
Can we add notes like "vegan" or "reservation needed"? ＋
Sure. Use short tags or the description to add hints like "vegan", "gluten-free", "reservation", "outdoor seating".
How do we avoid duplicate suggestions? ＋
Thanks to the central list, you immediately see if a spot already exists. Use search/filter before adding something new.
What happens after visiting a restaurant? ＋
You check off the entry, give a brief rating or note (e.g., favorite dish) – this way your culinary archive grows.
Does the restaurant list work on mobile too? ＋
Yes. soonish is a mobile app. Adding an entry or voting takes just seconds.
Can outsiders see our list? ＋
Lists are only accessible via your shared link. Only share the link with people you want to invite.
What if someone in the group doesn't like emojis? ＋
Emojis are quick and intuitive. If someone prefers, they can additionally comment briefly – the priority still emerges without debate.
Can we filter by neighborhood/price/tags? ＋
Yes. Use tags and filters to quickly find suitable spots – e.g., "under $20", "vegan", "Downtown".
Is the ranking binding – or can we decide spontaneously? ＋
The ranking is a recommendation. You can choose spontaneously at any time – soonish stays flexible.
How large can our group be? ＋
Whether two people or a large crew – the more votes, the more helpful the ranking. soonish scales with your group.
What if we change our minds or need to postpone? ＋
No problem. The ranking is dynamic. Re-sort, change notes, or create a second list (e.g., "Date Night").
What does soonish cost – and is there advertising or tracking? ＋
