Restaurant Helper Plus ends the "where should we eat?" debate. Add your favourite local restaurants, filter by cuisine, mood, price, and dietary requirements, then spin the picker to get a suggestion that actually fits what you're looking for tonight.
ADD YOUR RESTAURANTS
Build a personal database of your favourite local spots. For each restaurant, record the name, cuisine type, price range ($ to $$$$), your personal rating, meal type (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack), delivery and dine-in options, dietary labels (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal), mood category, and any personal notes. Your list is stored entirely on device — no account, no sync.
FILTER TO WHAT YOU WANT TONIGHT
Use the filter controls to narrow down the list before spinning. Filter by cuisine (Japanese, Italian, Mexican, Indian, and more), meal type, price range, minimum rating, dietary requirements, service type (dine-in, takeout, delivery), and mood (comfort food, date night, quick bite, group hangout, late night). The filtered list updates live as you toggle options.
SPIN THE PICKER
Once your filters are set, tap Pick for Me. The app selects a random restaurant from your filtered active list — a satisfying spin animation lands on tonight's pick. Not feeling the result? Spin again. The app picks from your active list only, so paused or retired restaurants never appear in the draw.
MARK FAVOURITES AND PAUSE
Star your absolute favourite restaurants to highlight them. Pause any restaurant temporarily — it stays in your list but won't appear in the picker until you re-activate it. Great for when a spot is temporarily closed or you've been going there too often recently.
PICK HISTORY
Every spin is saved to your pick history with the restaurant name, cuisine, and timestamp. Mark any pick as visited to track which suggestions you actually followed through on. Review your history to see which restaurants you've been going to and discover ones you haven't tried in a while.
FULLY OFFLINE
Restaurant Helper Plus works entirely without internet. All restaurant data and pick history are stored locally on your device. No account required, no location tracking, no data sent anywhere.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
• Couples who spend too long deciding where to eat
• Friend groups with too many opinions and not enough decisions
• Families with regular "what's for dinner" paralysis
• Anyone who wants a quick, fair random choice from a vetted personal list
• People building a personal restaurant discovery journal
ORGANISE BY MOOD
Assign each restaurant a mood category — comfort food, date night, quick bite, group hangout, late night, business lunch, or casual catch-up. When you're in the mood for a relaxed dinner but can't remember which restaurants you tagged as date-night spots, just filter by mood and the picker shows only what fits.
RATINGS AND NOTES
Give each restaurant a personal 1-5 star rating based on your own experience. Add free-text notes — parking tips, must-order dishes, whether the wait is usually long, or how a place compares to similar spots. Your notes are private and stored only on your phone.
No subscriptions. No ads. No account required. Restaurant Helper Plus is a simple, private tool for making one of life's small decisions a whole lot easier.
