Agree the frame first
District, budget per person, anything someone does not eat, and how many seats. A hotpot in Causeway Bay and a banquet in Sha Tin should not be in the same vote unless the group is willing to travel.

夾食飯｜Dinner Scheduler
Dinner Scheduler is the English name of 夾食飯. Friends use it for one dinner: agree a time, vote on a restaurant, then split the bill. It coordinates the group. It does not write recipes, count calories, or build a weekly meal plan.
- A 6-digit invite code. Friends join without exchanging phone numbers.
- A calendar from 6:00 in the morning to midnight. Darker cells mean more people are free.
- Each restaurant suggestion includes an OpenRice link and a Google Maps link.
- The Hong Kong app splits the bill and opens PayMe or FPS.
One group
What Dinner Scheduler does
Dinner Scheduler keeps the time, the restaurant, and the bill in the same group, instead of a chat where half the replies are “I’m free” and nobody can see the overlap.

Open a group
Each dinner has a 6-digit invite code. On the Hong Kong app, someone who has not installed it can still mark free times and vote from the link you share.

Agree a time
Propose a few slots, or use the calendar from 6:00 to midnight. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon, dinner, and late night all fit. Darker cells mean more people are free.

Split the bill
Record who paid and what each person owes. The app works out the fewest transfers. On the Hong Kong app, PayMe or FPS is one tap from the group.
The restaurant vote
How the group picks a restaurant
Dinner Scheduler is not a restaurant guide. You suggest the places. The group votes. OpenRice and Google Maps are there so people can check the review and the walk.
Suggest, then vote
Each person adds a restaurant. Every suggestion includes an OpenRice link and a Google Maps link. The vote stays in the group, so nobody has to count thumbs-up in a chat.
Friends without the app
On the Hong Kong app, share the invite link. They vote on a restaurant in the mobile browser, and mark the times they are free, without installing first.
After the restaurant is set
Add the dinner to the phone calendar. The app reminds the group the day before. The bill stays in the same group. The Cantonese how-to is 夾食飯點樣一齊揀餐廳.

Dinner Scheduler, in short
What is Dinner Scheduler?
Dinner Scheduler is the English name of 夾食飯. The official site is dinnerscheduler.com. It is an iPhone app for one group dinner: agree a time, vote on a restaurant, then split the bill. There are two separate apps, Hong Kong and the UK, with the same orange bowl icon.
Does Dinner Scheduler plan meals or recipes?
No. Dinner Scheduler coordinates the people at one dinner. It does not write recipes, count calories, or build a weekly meal plan. The group picks a time and a restaurant, then splits the bill.
How does a group choose a restaurant?
Each person suggests a restaurant and the group votes. Every suggestion includes an OpenRice link and a Google Maps link. Dinner Scheduler is not a restaurant directory: it records the group's vote. On the Hong Kong app, someone who has not installed it can vote in the browser from the shared link.
