Is it dinner-time? Having trouble deciding where you should eat? No Problem! Dine-O-Matic (by The Iconfactory) will decide for you.

Dine-O-Matic PreferencesAdd restaurant name and type (Pizza, Deli, Mexican, etc.) on the info view of the widget.

Dine-O-Matic Chosen OneOnce your datasource is set up, click the plate to cycle through and have Dine-O-Matic choose your place of dining. Great for indecisive folk who still like to go out.

If you would like to share your Dine-O-Matic library between multiple users:

  1. After installing the widget, Cut the Dine-O-Matic.wdgt file from ~\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Library\Widgets (where ~ signifies your root directory, which is the Hard Drive icon on your Desktop)
  2. Paste it in ~\Library\Widgets
  3. Add an instance of Dine-O-Matic to your Dashboard (Go to Dashboard, Click the Plus to view all installed widgets, and drag Dine-O-Matic to your Dashboard)
  4. Enter your restaurants just this one time
  5. Copy your preferences file (located ~\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Library\Preferences\widget-com.iconfactory.dine-o-matic.plist) into the corresponding directories for the other users
  6. Now all the users on your machine will have the same restaurants. If you make a change to the restaurant list, repeat the step 5
