Pixx Restaurant Picker App
Restaurant Picker for Group Dining
Posted Thursday, October 15, 2026
Finding a restaurant isn’t hard. Getting five people to agree on one is. Pixx, the social dining app built to make group restaurant decisions easier, is now available to diners across the United States on iPhone and Android, as well as web applications. Instead of giving users another endless list of restaurants to scroll through, Pixx starts with the people actually going to dinner. One person wants sushi. Another is vegetarian. Someone wants to keep dinner under $30. Two friends are coming from opposite sides of town. And inevitably, someone says, “I don’t care, you pick,” only to veto the first three suggestions. Pixx brings those competing preferences into one place and helps the group reach an actual decision. Users create a meal, invite friends and add information such as cuisine preferences, dietary needs, budget and location. Pixx considers those inputs, along with group feedback and travel considerations, to recommend restaurants that make sense for the people attending. “Restaurant discovery was never the whole problem. The harder problem is getting a group of people with different tastes, budgets, dietary needs and locations to make one decision,” said Brandon Ray, Founder of Pixx. “We built Pixx to get people out of the group chat and to the table. Less negotiating, less scrolling and more time actually being together.” Friends do not need to download the app to participate. A Pixx user can create a meal and send an invitation link, allowing guests to RSVP and participate from their browser without creating an account. Pixx can account for the details that often turn “Where should we eat?” into dozens of messages, including: - Cuisine and food preferences - Dietary restrictions and allergies - Budget - Each guest’s location - Driving, transit, walking and biking travel times - Restaurant options around the planned meal time - Group voting and feedback Groups can compare options, vote, chat and move toward a final restaurant without bouncing between restaurant apps, maps, browser tabs and text threads. And for the group that simply wants someone else to make the decision, Pixx offers “Just Pick For Me.” Pixx is designed around a simple idea: restaurant recommendations are more useful when they reflect the whole group, not just the person doing the searching.
