The Flowchart: What should you order for lunch today?

Daily office conversation:

- “I’m hungry.”
- “So am I.”
- “What shall we order?”
- “Let’s order X.”
- “X is too expensive.”
- “How about Y?”
- “Y is too oily.”
- “How about Z?”
- “EWWWWW.”

And it goes on and on. Usually for an hour. I’m sure this happens often with other companies as well, so I’ve created this handy little flow-chart that will hopefully make ordering decisions much easier :)

Enjoy!

    Bambam, I didn’t add it over the weekend cause there was no way in hell I could have found it online, try as I might. I guess the name “B” for a restaurant isn’t very smart in terms of Googability! Fortunately for you, I’m now at the office, and here’s the number of B Patisserie, Jabal Amman:

    06-462-1707

    LOL great guide, but i think it is more west-amman oriented, i might steel your idea and make a 7frtal & 3zabi lunch guide :)

    mohammad, yup, definitely West Amman oriented. These are the restaurants we order from at the office at least once a month. Personally, I get my food from home :)
    Your idea sounds fantastic, please do go ahead, and send me a link, so I’ll blog it! :)

    my friend and i do the canceling game .. we also do it when trying to decide which dvd to watch .. basically u spread out the menus or dvds or whatever in front of u … then u take turns canceling one until only one remains ..

    Mesh, ma fi 7ada biwasel falafel zaki :)

    Lina, thanks babe, ta3leemek! :)

    Faisal, great! It’s so nice to hear that people enjoy my blog :)

    sk8erboi, thanks man :)

    mo, hehe, that is a good idea when you’re under 4. When you’re in an office of overtly opinionated people, it wouldn’t work. Trust me :P

    ok this ones also kind of silly .. you could put the names in a jar and draw one :D

    but i dont get why you all have to order from the same place? is it some sort of office sisterhood pact or something lol

    November 23, 2009 @ 12:12 am

    mo, I don’t know, I guess it’s just nice when everyone eats together in the eating room. Personally, I don’t usually order with them, I always get my food in tupperware from home :)

    great scheme, please make a separate one for shawerma lovers

    I agree with Hareega.

    لك ما بدها كل هاد، فلافل هي الحل.

    Hareega and AG, if I did that, my flowchart would basically consist of two places: Reem or 3al 7atab bi Jabal Al Hussein. Question is whether you prefer to wrestle with your body or wrestle with your car.
    All other shawerma places are soooooooooooo disgusting.

    Alloush, ma fi falafel delivery bi Amman :)
