Frequently asked questions
How do we pick a fair pub for the team?
This Placelist is a set of pubs suited to group meets. Add everyone's work or station origins in FairWhere and it ranks the shortlist by journey fairness, so the person in Zone 4 is not always the one with the worst commute.
Can the group vote on the shortlist?
Yes. Start a plan from this Placelist, invite the group, and use FairWhere's share and voting flows to agree on a venue after the fairness ranking.
How are these ranked?
By how evenly the journey is shared across your group, not by popularity, sponsorship or who suggested the place first. Start a plan from this Placelist, add where everyone is starting from, and see the ranked shortlist.
Do I need everyone in the same area of London?
No. FairWhere is built for groups coming from different zones. Add each person's start location and it ranks venues so the travel burden is as fair as possible across the group.
Is this free to use?
Browsing Placelists and creating a basic plan with estimate-only ranking is free in the London beta. Optional live checks and deeper routing may use credits where offered.
