For bars and pubs
Booking software for bars and pubs
Booking software for bars and pubs mixes walk-ins with reserved tables, runs the waitlist through the rush, and fills game nights with seats at the screens. Goboblo does more than that. The floor plan stays accurate in real time, a text calls up the next group, and reminders stop no-shows on the best tables. The price is flat at $79 a month and you pay $0 on your own bookings.
- One floor: walk-ins, bookings, and the waitlist on one map in real time.
- A shorter line: the waitlist calls up the next group with a text.
- Full game nights: the best tables paired to every screen.
Is this you?
Built for the bar floor
A bar runs on walk-ins and peaks on game nights and weekends. Goboblo holds the moving floor together so you stop losing tables when the room is at its fullest.
- You take both walk-ins and bookings and want them on one floor plan.
- You get a line in the rush and need a waitlist that actually works.
- You pack game nights and want to pair the best tables to the screens.
- You're done with groups that book four tables and show up at one.
What you get
The night, in numbers
What you get depends on your floor, your screens, and your calendar.
How do I mix walk-ins and bookings in a bar?
Goboblo puts walk-ins and reserved tables on one floor plan. A bar lives on guests who walk in without a booking, but the best tables are the ones people want to lock in ahead of time. The host seats a group at the bar, the online slot closes on the spot, and you see the whole night in real time.
You stop bouncing between a notebook, a phone, and your memory of who promised to come. One source of truth shows which tables are taken, which are booked, and which are free, even in the middle of a packed Friday. Strong table management is the difference between control and a pile-up at the door.
On the floor
The whole floor, live
This is the floor plan in Goboblo. Green tables are seated, purple is VIP, red flags a no-show risk, and the waitlist sits along the bottom. A host seats the next group in one tap.
How does Goboblo run the waitlist in the rush?
The waitlist shows who has waited longest and how long, and Goboblo seats the next group when a table frees up. The guest gets a text when the table is ready. She grabs a drink at the bar in the meantime instead of blocking the door, and you keep the group that would otherwise have walked to the place next door.
The rush is where a bar makes or loses money. A line run with texts and a clear order feels shorter than a line at the door, even when the wait is the same. The guest who got a table in 12 minutes comes back; the guest who gave up at the door does not.
How do I fill a game night with Goboblo?
You open the game night for booking and pair the best tables to each TV screen. The guest picks a seat in front of the right match, and Goboblo tracks which tables see which screen. You fill your best nights without two groups landing on the same table in front of the derby.
A game night is a pub's version of a sold-out Saturday. When demand is high, Goboblo puts a deposit on the in-demand screen tables, so a cancellation actually frees the table in time. You sell the right table to the right guest instead of letting first-come chaos decide.
How does the system protect against no-shows in a bar?
No-shows drop with automatic confirmation, SMS reminders, and a one-tap cancellation link. Goboblo sends the reminders for you and asks for a deposit only on high-risk bookings, big groups and in-demand game nights, not on a regular Tuesday pint. A group that books four tables and shows up at one costs you the whole night.
Read the full playbook in our guide to reducing no-shows, or the plain definition of a no-show. Once the guest has been in, add loyalty so she comes back next game night without you paying for her again.
What does Goboblo cost for a bar or pub?
Goboblo All-in-one is $79 a month, about $3 a day, and the price is flat. You pay $0 on your own bookings. A small fee applies only to new guests we bring you, so you pay only when we actually fill a table you would not have filled yourself.
Per-cover pricing punishes you on the exact nights you want to earn most: game night, the weekend, the launch. A flat fee keeps the full margin yours when the room is full. You start free and upgrade to All-in-one when you want deposits and the full guest profile. See pricing for the current plans.
