For fine dining
Booking software for fine dining
Booking software for fine dining controls pacing on the floor plan, protects every seating with a deposit, and keeps VIP status, allergies, and history on the guest profile. Goboblo does more than that. Parties are seated so the kitchen flows, a 0.9% deposit holds the table, and a review is requested automatically after the visit. The price is flat at $79 a month and you pay $0 on your own bookings.
- Even pacing: the kitchen never gets four tables on one beat.
- Protected seatings: a 0.9% deposit frees the table in time.
- A profile you own: VIP, allergies, and history ready before the guest arrives.
Is this you?
Built for the set dining room
Fine dining runs few seatings with little room for error. One mis-timed beat throws the kitchen off for the rest of the night. Goboblo is built for the precision a set dining room demands.
- You run few seatings a night and every table has to land right in the pacing.
- You take deposits or prepayment and want a cancellation to free the table in time.
- You need allergies, wine preferences, and VIP status ready before the guest arrives.
- You want a great night to become a review, not a gamble.
What you get
The night, in numbers
What you get depends on your room, your menu, and how you set the pacing.
How does Goboblo control pacing in fine dining?
Goboblo spreads seatings across the night so the kitchen never gets four tables on one beat. You set how many parties may be seated per quarter hour, and the floor plan seats them accordingly. Pacing keeps the tempo even, so each course goes out on time and service never jams at seven.
In fine dining, pacing is not a convenience; it is the difference between a controlled night and a frantic one. A single mis-timed beat, three eight-course menus landing at once, throws the kitchen off for hours. Goboblo seats parties so the service breathes, table by table, from the first seating to the last.

The whole night on one timeline
This is the pacing timeline in Goboblo. Tables run down the rows, time runs along the axis. Drag a booking to smooth the beat, and Goboblo blocks two large parties from landing at once.
How do deposits and prepayment work?
You put a deposit or prepayment on a booking, and the guest pays when she books. If she cancels in time, the table frees up while you can still sell it. Goboblo takes 0.9% of the amount, so the deposit protects your few seatings without eating the margin on the cover.
For a twenty-table room, a late Saturday cancellation is expensive. An empty seating you held for a party that never came is revenue you turned someone else away to keep. A deposit on the in-demand slots means a cancellation actually lands in the calendar in time, not as an empty chair at eight.
How do I keep allergies and VIP status on the guest profile?
Every booking lands on a guest profile with allergies, wine preferences, past tables, and VIP status. Staff see it all before the guest arrives, so the kitchen knows about the nut allergy and the host knows the couple by the window is celebrating an anniversary for the third year. The details are what turn service into care.
You own the guest profile outright, instead of renting it from a marketplace that bills you per cover. Booking, allergies, and history sit on the same profile as loyalty and repeat visits, so the regular is recognised every time. That is the moat no pure booking tool offers.
How do I get more reviews after the visit?
Goboblo requests a review automatically after a strong seating, tied to the guest profile. A happy guest asked the next day, while the taste lingers, answers more often than one who has had time to forget the night. The review is the next guest's first impression of your room.
The loop closes in the same system that took the booking and held the guest profile. You don't chase reviews by hand and you don't buy them. You ask the right guest at the right moment. A steady stream of real reviews pulls in the next booking, which in turn can become the next review.
What does Goboblo cost for a fine dining restaurant?
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 payment-driven flows like deposits, 0.9% of the amount, so you pay only when you actually collect money.
Per-cover pricing punishes a packed Saturday, the exact night a fine dining room wants to keep every dollar. A flat fee lets you. If you run multiple venues, Enterprise starts at $250 per venue, with a shared guest profile, API, and reporting. See pricing for the current plans.
