Before the booking
The details have nowhere to meet.
A Host is asking about a date, a room and a menu. Your team is checking three different places before it can give one clear answer.
For venues
A fuller diary. A calmer service.
gobblr is the calm system for food-led celebrations. Get found in the places listing, then run every event from enquiry to final pass with ticket payments, guest choices, dietaries and kitchen sheets in one place.
The day job
Most celebrations get complicated long before service starts.
The problem is rarely one big thing. It is a date in one inbox, a guest list in another, menu choices arriving too late and a kitchen left to turn fragments into a plan.
Before the choices close
Someone has to chase every answer.
Guests still need to reply, choose a plate and flag what they cannot eat. The work lands back with the Host or your office.
Before the first plate
The kitchen gets the last-minute version.
The final numbers, choices and dietary detail have to become prep counts and a pass sheet, usually when the day is already moving.
The money story
What you pay to use gobblr.
Nothing. You can list your venue and use the free event flow with no monthly fee.
6% + 30p per ticket, added on top of the venue's price — card costs included. Your guest sees one all-in price and you receive 100% of your ticket price.
Worked example
Guest pays with gobblr
£58.60
all-in
Eventbrite, fees passed on
£59.41
all-in
£55.00 + 6% (£3.30) + 30p = £58.60 to the guest. Your venue receives £55.00 in full. If Eventbrite fees are passed on, its £4.41 fee makes the guest total £59.41.
What is included
One product, with more switched on when you need it.
Free to list and use the event flow.
You keep 100% of your ticket price when tickets sell through gobblr.
The Operations Suite is a monthly subscription on top.

Compared with Eventbrite
The real difference is knowing every plate before service.
Eventbrite sells tickets. gobblr also gathers menus, meal choices and 14-allergen detail before the kitchen commits.
| gobblr | Eventbrite | |
|---|---|---|
| Dietary and allergens known ahead | Yes, including 14-allergen capture | No food-event layer |
| Menus and meal choices | Yes | No |
| Kitchen prep and pass sheets | Operations Suite | No |
| Table plans and room setup | Operations Suite | No |
| Fee per ticket | 6% + 30p | 6.95% + £0.59 |
| On a £55 ticket | £3.60 fee, £58.60 all-in | £4.41 fee, £59.41 all-in |
The part that wins bookings
Let every celebration take shape before service starts.
Give the host one link. Their guests reply, choose their plates and declare their allergies. Your team sees the whole celebration taking shape, and your kitchen gets the answer it needs for every seat.
The wedding
The couple books your barn. You hand them a link, and their guests reply, pick their plates and declare the allergies. The couple watches the yeses arrive over breakfast. Nobody chases anybody, and it was your venue that made it feel that easy.
The Christmas party
Ten companies, one December. Meal choices in by the closing date, dietaries gathered without a single phone call to your office. Every table knows its menu and your kitchen knows every plate.
The quiet Tuesday
A supper club finds your listing, books your space and brings sixty guests you have never met. Their event, their crowd, your space earning its keep on a night it would have sat dark.
The Operations Suite
Make gobblr the way your whole Venue runs events.
The suite is advertised lightly at launch: room configuration, saved room templates, table planning and kitchen pass sheets for venues ready to shape the next layer with us.
Built around your events
There is no fixed package price on the website. We will agree a build fee and monthly subscription around your ticket volume, rooms and operating needs before you commit.
Got a question?Who's behind it
A chef and a booking-systems founder.
James spent twenty years running professional kitchens; the pass sheet is the one he always wanted pinned up. Wendy co-founded Anytime Booking, the reservation system UK accommodation businesses have run on for decades. gobblr brings that kitchen and booking experience to the same table.
