How to pick a fair meetup location for a group

When everyone commutes from different neighborhoods, a single “obvious” restaurant is rarely fair. A better default is to look for a spot that minimizes total pain—often near the geographic midpoint of everyone’s locations.

Where to Meet lets each person share their current location in one room. The app calculates a centroid-style midpoint and suggests nearby cafés, restaurants, and bars you can compare together.

Agree on rules up front: are you optimizing for fairness, shortest total travel, or someone with limited mobility? Put that in the group chat, then use the map to shortlist two or three places near the midpoint.
