A ten-person team wants to have lunch together on Friday. The date and budget are already agreed, but location suggestions are scattered across the group chat. The organiser uses one single-choice poll so the remaining question can be settled without counting reactions.

Known constraints keep the poll small

The team has forty-five minutes and a shared budget limit. The organiser removes places that cannot seat the group or are too far away before creating the poll. That prevents a popular but impossible answer from winning.

The question contains the decision

The poll asks: “Where should the ten-person team have lunch this Friday?” Options are “Italian café,” “Street food market,” and “Bring our own to the park.” Single choice is enabled because the team needs one destination.

The invitation includes a deadline

The organiser tests the public link, then posts: “Vote by Thursday at 15:00; the highest option wins. Save your private receipt if you may change your mind.” The management link stays in the organiser’s private notes.

The closed poll becomes one clear next action

At the deadline, the poll has eight responses. Italian café receives four, the market three, and the park one. The organiser closes voting, posts the winning location and reservation time in the chat, and uses the poll only as the record of that small decision.
