Chicken Tender

Chicken Tender, Inc.

About this app

Swipe on nearby restaurants, match with friends, and settle where to eat. Together.

Chicken Tender ends the "I don't know, where do you want to go?" loop. Everyone pulls out their phone, everyone swipes, and the first place you all say yes to is dinner.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Open the app with your friends nearby. Phones find each other over Bluetooth. No accounts, no sign-up, no group link to share.
2. Swipe right on places you'd eat, left on places you wouldn't.
3. The moment everyone likes the same restaurant, you've got a match.
4. Torn between a few? Spin for it and let fate pick.

ONLY WHAT'S OPEN
Open Now is on by default, so you never match on a place that's closed. Turn it off if you're planning ahead.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DECIDE
Cards show hours, a description, highlights, rating, and distance. Pull up for the details: popular times, the menu, ordering and reservation links, a map, and one-tap directions and calling. Browse a menu without ever leaving the app.

SAVE THE PLACES YOU LOVE
Tap the star on any card to keep a spot in your Favorites. Write yourself a note and list the dishes you always order, and they'll be right there on the card the next time it comes up. Favorite a chain once and every location counts. Your Favorites are one tap from the home screen, with hours on the list so you can see what's open before you go. They travel with you, too: land in a new city, or just pin a different neighborhood, and the list leads with what's within five miles of wherever you're looking, including the nearest branch of a chain you saved back home. Notes are yours alone, never shared with the group.

MAKE IT YOURS
Filter by cuisine. Sort by distance. Pin a different neighborhood and plan dinner across town. Add a name and photo so friends know whose vote is whose.

TRAVELS WITH YOU
Away from home? Chicken Tender works outside the US too. Search from anywhere and we'll find the restaurants around you, so the same swipe-and-match settles dinner in a city you've never been to.

PLAYS WELL ALONE
No friends around? Swipe solo and let Chicken Tender pick for you.

NO ACCOUNTS. NO NONSENSE.
Chicken Tender doesn't need an email address, a password, or a login. Your name and photo are shared over Bluetooth, and only while you play.

Ratings and reviews

Chicken Tender has a "tender" place in my heart 😏. This app has finally given an answer to that age old question (to your significant other), "Where would you like to eat?" You don't need an account, and can start swiping within mins. Works as advertised. This isn't a restaurant discovery app. It's a "I just can't deal with decision paralysis, please choose for me" app. It seems to be updated regularly, and the developer is very responsive. There's nothing to lose!

The new update to this fantastic (and fun) app is a game-changer. It is a complete upgrade in both functionality and design. It has always been an interesting app in that it helps you (and more importantly, you AND your friends) find and agree on a place to eat, but with this latest update the interface is more esthetically pleasing, the functionality is smooth and intuitive and the overall look and feel is magnitudes better than before.

The developer was fantastic. It wasn't working, so we reached out and he did extensive troubleshooting to get it working. Now it works perfectly! This is perfect for when we can't decide what sounds good for dinner, now we can let the app decide. Highly recommend. The list of restaurants is very comprehensive as well.
