Tips for running it well
- 1
Close the poll 30 minutes before you plan to order so stragglers don't hold it up.
- 2
Include a 'Doesn't matter' option to detect indifference.
- 3
Pin the poll in your team chat rather than posting it in several threads.
Ways to customise it
Switch to 'allow multiple votes' so people can approve several cuisines.
Use it for coffee runs, happy-hour venues, or team-dinner picks.
Make it recurring — share the same poll every Friday for team lunch.
Questions
Can people vote more than once?
By default, no. You can enable 'allow multiple votes' in poll settings if you want people to approve several options.
How do I add dietary notes to each option?
Add a short note in brackets after each option text, e.g. 'Sushi (vegetarian options available)'.
Will people see who voted for what?
No. Only aggregate counts are shown. Individual votes stay private.
