Sure:

take a straw poll to see who wants to go get dinner at time X
if "enough" people want to go, they then pick a restaurant...
anyone can make a pitch for one new restaurant that the group should check out
in a group of n, one person suggests n*2/3 possible restaurants to eat dinner at (max. 7)
everyone else, one at a time, may then either pass or name 2/3 of the restaurants named by the person immediately before them
if reservations are required, calls to the restaurants are made when 2 possibilities remain
when only one restaurant is named, the group goes there.

This algorithm is a work in progress.
