Plan a Christmas dinner everyone wants to eat
Christmas dinner has as many opinions as there are relatives. Put the main course options in a Rankd and send it to the family chat. Everyone ranks privately, and you cook what the family likes most overall.
- Ham
- Turkey
- Prime rib
- Lasagna
- Seafood night
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Everyone gets a say without a group-chat debate.
- Second choices count, so you land on a main most people love.
- Run separate ranks for sides and dessert in the same way.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Send it two weeks before so the cook can order.
- Add a wild card like “Seafood night” to see what the family is up for.
- Follow up with a sides rank once the main is picked.
Questions
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
