More signal, still some luck.
Smart Pick keeps PlateLuck from becoming a giant review directory. Your settings influence the ranking, but the final result still contains controlled randomness so the same inputs do not always produce the same restaurant.
- Mood changes which restaurant types and cuisine tags get a boost.
- Price feel is a heuristic, not live menu-price data.
- Surprise level controls how far PlateLuck is willing to wander from the top-ranked candidates.
- Recent picks get a penalty so the same restaurant does not dominate every spin.
