Booking system for bars and pubs
A booking system for bars and pubs puts walk-ins and reserved tables on one floor plan and runs the waitlist through the rush. Goboblo shows the host the moment a table turns, so she calls up the next group without guessing.

Walk-ins and reserved tables on one floor plan
A bar runs on guests who walk in, but the best tables are the ones people lock in ahead of time. Goboblo shows taken, booked, and free tables in real time, so a walk-in never sits at a table reserved for 9.
- Walk-ins and bookings in one view
- The online slot closes when the host seats it
- A live floor plan for the whole team
A shorter line when the rush hits
The waitlist shows who has waited longest and how long. The moment a table turns, Goboblo surfaces the next group on the host's screen, so she calls the right party over right away — no paper slips and no guessing who has waited longest.
- The host adds the party at the door
- Who's next shows the moment a table turns
- Estimated wait on the same floor plan
Fill the game night without double-booking
Open the game night for booking and let the guest pick their table when they book, so they land in front of the right match. Goboblo holds the bookable tables on the same floor plan, so two groups never land on the same table in front of the derby. Run a lot of sport? The sports bar booking system adds screen control per TV.

Fewer empty tables on the nights that count
A group that books four tables and shows up at one costs you the whole night. Automatic confirmation, SMS reminders, and a one-tap cancellation link protect the tables worth the most — and when someone cancels late, the waitlist calls up the next group, without punishing the guest who walks in on a regular Tuesday.
- Confirmation and reminder by text
- One-tap cancellation — the waitlist takes over
- A deposit on big groups and game nights (coming soon)
The difference on the bar floor
Same Friday, two different nights. Goboblo brings walk-ins, reserved tables, and the waitlist into one flow the host can actually use in the middle of the rush.
- Walk-ins in your head, bookings in a notebook
- A line at the door guests give up on
- Double-booked tables in front of the match
- An empty table when someone cancels late
- Walk-ins and bookings on one floor plan
- A waitlist that shows the host who's next
- Guests pick their table for the game night
- SMS reminders and the waitlist fill the gap
One system, flat fee
What bar and pub operators ask
What is a booking system for a bar or pub?
A booking system for a bar or pub accepts reserved tables, handles walk-ins, and runs the waitlist in the rush. Goboblo connects tables, guests, the floor plan, and no-show protection in one flow, so a bar that lives on walk-ins can still sell its best tables ahead of time. A bar is a faster room, but the core is the same as any restaurant reservation software.
How do I mix walk-ins and bookings in a bar?
Goboblo puts walk-ins and reserved tables on one floor plan. The host seats a group at the bar, and the online slot closes on the spot. You see the whole night in real time instead of bouncing between a notebook and a phone, even when the room is full.
How does Goboblo run the waitlist in the rush?
The waitlist shows who has waited longest and how long, and Goboblo flags the next group the moment a table turns. The host sees it on screen and calls the party over, so they grab a drink at the bar in the meantime instead of blocking the door. When every table is full, a guest can add themselves online — see more on the restaurant waitlist.
How do I fill a game night with Goboblo?
You open the game night for booking and the guest can pick their table when they book, so they land in front of the right match. The bookable tables sit on the same floor plan, so you fill your best nights without double-booking the derby seats. If you show a lot of sport, there's a dedicated sports bar booking system that controls what each TV shows.
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. When someone cancels late, the waitlist calls up the next group, so the table rarely sits empty. Deposits on big groups and in-demand game nights are coming soon. See the guide to reducing no-shows.
Does the guest need an app to book a table?
No. Guests book a table in the browser through your booking link, with no app and no login. Confirmation and reminders arrive by text, and cancelling takes one tap. Less friction means more completed bookings on the tables you most want to fill.
What does Goboblo cost for a bar or pub?
Booking costs $29 a month, ex VAT, and the price is locked for life for you. You pay 0 commission on your own bookings, and a small fee applies only to new guests we bring you. The lunch card is free until 150 guests use it, and stamp cards and membership bring the same guests back without paying commission for a relationship you already built. No lock-in, first month free — see pricing for the booking system.
