Built by two NC State students
Group chat can’t pick where to eat? Call Dibs.
It’s Friday, everyone’s hungry, and the chat has been “idk, you pick” for twenty minutes. Dibs ends it: one person sets the vibe, shares a link, everyone votes from their own phone, and one spot wins. Real restaurants near campus that are open right now.

CBS 17 ran a segment on Dibs
Noah Kleckner and Matt Stacy built Dibs while at NC State, for the exact problem every friend group here has. CBS 17 Mornings featured it on September 15, 2026.
Watch the segment →How it works on a Friday night
- 1One person opens icalldibs.co and sets the vibe — budget, how far you'll walk or drive, and what you're feeling (or "surprise us").
- 2Drop the link in the group chat. Everyone ranks the picks from their own phone. No download, no account.
- 3Dibs names one winner the whole group is happiest with. Go eat.
Works anywhere near campus
Set your distance and Dibs measures from wherever you actually are — Hillsborough Street, Cameron Village, Glenwood South, Mission Valley, or Downtown Raleigh. It covers the whole Triangle, so it still works when the group is split between Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill.
Made for how students actually eat
Budget first
Pick $ to $$$$ up front, so nobody gets dragged somewhere they can't afford.
Local, not chains
Real Raleigh spots — national fast-food is hidden by default.
Nobody's the picker
Rank-choice voting means the choice is the group's, not one person's.
