Frequently Asked Questions About Restaurant Lists
What is a restaurant bucket list?οΌ
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?οΌ
No. soonish works without registration. Create list, share link, done.
How does the ranking emerge from emojis?οΌ
Each reaction has a weight (e.g., β, π, π₯). soonish sums the votes and automatically creates a ranking. Ties are displayed β you decide spontaneously.
Can we create multiple restaurant lists (e.g., lunch, dinner, budget)?οΌ
Yes. Create as many lists as you want β e.g., by time of day, neighborhood, or cuisine. Everything stays organized.
Can we add notes like "vegan" or "reservation needed"?οΌ
Sure. Use short tags or the description to add hints like "vegan", "gluten-free", "reservation", "outdoor seating".
How do we avoid duplicate suggestions?οΌ
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?οΌ
You check off the entry, give a brief rating or note (e.g., favorite dish) β this way your culinary archive grows.
Does the restaurant list work on mobile too?οΌ
Yes. soonish is a mobile app. Adding an entry or voting takes just seconds.
Can outsiders see our list?οΌ
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?οΌ
Emojis are quick and intuitive. If someone prefers, they can additionally comment briefly β the priority still emerges without debate.
Can we filter by neighborhood/price/tags?οΌ
Yes. Use tags and filters to quickly find suitable spots β e.g., "under $20", "vegan", "Downtown".
Is the ranking binding β or can we decide spontaneously?οΌ
The ranking is a recommendation. You can choose spontaneously at any time β soonish stays flexible.
How large can our group be?οΌ
Whether two people or a large crew β the more votes, the more helpful the ranking. soonish scales with your group.
What if we change our minds or need to postpone?οΌ
No problem. The ranking is dynamic. Re-sort, change notes, or create a second list (e.g., "Date Night").
What does soonish cost β and is there advertising or tracking?οΌ
soonish is free, without registration, forever. Minimalist and focused on functionality. No registration, no social feed. Details about privacy & usage can be found in the footer.
