Team lunch poll: where shall we go?

This team lunch poll lets colleagues vote in one click for where to eat together. Italian, Japanese, burgers, a vegetarian café or a picnic in the park: everyone gives their choice and the result is visible immediately.

What is a team lunch poll for?

Choosing a restaurant for a group often takes longer than the meal. This quick poll asks a single question with five options, and the results are shown to each person as soon as they have voted. It ends endless chat threads and gives everyone a say, including those who rarely speak up in meetings. Use it for a Friday team lunch, a farewell meal, a celebration after a project or an informal gathering with a new colleague. It is equally useful as an office lunch poll for larger departments.

Who is it for?

• Team leaders organising a regular team lunch
• Office managers and happy-office teams
• Remote or hybrid teams planning an in-person day
• Associations, clubs and student groups going out together

How to adapt it in Mailpro

Change the question and the options to match the restaurants near your office or the budget you have in mind. Add your logo and colours if you share the poll beyond your team. Send the link by email or chat, display a QR code in the break room, or include the poll in your internal Mailpro newsletter. Votes arrive in Mailpro, and the winner is visible straight away.

Tips

• Limit the choice to four or five options so the vote stays quick and decisive.
• Include at least one vegetarian option and think about allergies and dietary needs.
• Set a deadline, for example Wednesday noon for a Friday lunch, to book in time.
• Rotate the options from one month to the next to discover new places.
