Here are the details about the solution: The app will ask users to select 1) Friends they want to go out with 2) Choose a datetime that they like to suggest 3) Select a place from list of places shown by the app based on interest(food, entertainment, activities etc). The app then notifies selected friends via notification(if they already are a user) or sms(first time invite). The others in the hangout can suggest their own place/datetime and also say yes/no for the invite.

Due to the decisive nature of the app(yes or no) and no chat will result in much faster and decisive planning. Also the app will broadcast location updates to the users of the hangout along with ETA for a certain period of time at the decided time of hangout.
