About BuddyLunch
BuddyLunch takes the hassle out of coordinating lunch with friends. No more group text chaos figuring out who's paying, where to go, or who's actually coming. Just create a group, invite your friends, and let BuddyLunch handle the rest. Fair Payment Rotation Never argue about whose turn it is again. BuddyLunch automatically tracks and rotates who pays next. Someone couldn't make it? Skip their turn with one tap. Prefer to split the bill? Switch to Dutch mode and let the app calculate each person's share. Smart Restaurant Suggestions Tired of eating at the same spot? BuddyLunch suggests restaurants based on your group's ratings, past visits, and cuisine variety -- so you're always trying something new your group will love. RSVP & Scheduling Create lunch events with a restaurant, date, and time. Everyone in the group can accept or decline so you know exactly who's coming before you head out. Settle Up Instantly When the bill comes, BuddyLunch calculates who owes what and lets you request payment through Venmo or PayPal with a single tap. No awkward IOUs. Group Chat Coordinate details, share ideas, or just talk about where to eat -- all within the app. No need to juggle a separate group text. Friendly Nudges Life gets busy. If your group hasn't gotten together in a while, BuddyLunch sends a gentle reminder so you stay connected with the people who matter. BuddyLunch is built for any group that eats together regularly -- coworkers, college friends, neighbors, book clubs, you name it. Download it, start a group, and get back to lunch.
