There's an interesting experiment mentioned in Predictably Irrational that suggests you should simply order your first choice and not worry about other people at the table. There's an odd tendency to favor variety in a restaurant setting, which means the people who order last opt for their second or third choices. That is by definition suboptimial.
- YokoZar 10y agoIt's only suboptimal if "ordering last" is a thing. The article notes a better strategy of reaching consensus before ordering, and then ordering all the items together. That way by placing an order first you don't implicitly force someone who is ordering later (and sharing with you) to mitigate risks by picking a second favorite.
