Leggo helps groups choose a restaurant in about 2 minutes

Leggo is a web service for deciding where a group should eat. One person creates a group and shares a 6-letter code or link, then everyone joins on their phone and enters their location, preferred cuisines, and dietary restrictions.

The service calculates a fair central point for the group and ranks restaurants using several factors. Everyone then votes on the restaurant they prefer, so the choice is made together.

It does not require an account or app download, and the full flow is meant to take about 2 minutes. It can also be used alone to avoid scrolling through Google or Yelp for too long.
