Questions

How far ahead should you book a long lunch?

Two to four weeks is usually enough, or longer for popular spots and big groups on a weekend.

How do you choose a restaurant for a group?

Shortlist a few that suit the budget and dietary needs, then let everyone vote with a Poll.

How do you split the bill at a group lunch?

Agree upfront whether you’ll split evenly or pay for what you order, and mention it in the Plyn so nobody’s surprised.

What if numbers change after booking?

Keep the Plyn updated so you can see who’s coming at a glance, and let the restaurant know as early as you can.
