The details have nowhere to meet.
The date, menu, headcount and dietary detail sit in different places.
Pricing for venues
Fill your diary. Keep the kitchen calm.
List your place, sell food-event tickets and collect the choices, dietaries and payments before service starts.
List your venueThe day job
Most celebrations get complicated long before service starts.
The booking, menu, payments and dietary detail usually live apart until somebody has to make them agree.
Someone has to chase every answer.
Hosts need replies. Venues need clean numbers before the kitchen plans.
The pass gets the pressure.
Late answers become rushed prep counts, table notes and service calls.
Celebrations taking shape
The work behind the price is real.
The wedding
The couple sends one link. Guests reply, choose plates and declare what they cannot eat.
The Christmas party
Meal choices close on time, dietaries are visible early and every table is easier to serve.
The quiet Tuesday
A supper club fills an empty room. The venue gets the run sheet before service.

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.

Questions before you list
The honest answers.
What does a £55 ticket cost?+
The guest pays £58.60 all-in: £55.00 + 6% (£3.30) + 30p. You receive the full £55.00 ticket price. 6% + 30p per ticket, added on top of the venue's price — card costs included.
Who pays, me or my guests?+
You receive 100% of the ticket price you set. The guest pays one all-in price, with no separate fee line or hidden extras. 6% + 30p per ticket, added on top of the venue's price — card costs included. The host can pay for everyone or ask each guest to pay for their own food ticket.
What happens on refunds?+
If a Guest cancels, gobblr's fee is non-refundable because the booking service has been supplied; the Venue's share refunds under its own template, and refund requests go through the Venue. If the Venue cancels, or changes the date and the Guest cannot make it, the Guest gets everything back, including the gobblr fee. For a partial refund, gobblr keeps only a recalculated 6% + 30p fee on the amount retained.
What is in the Operations Suite?+
Everything in the free listing, plus room configuration, saved room templates, table plans and kitchen pass sheets.
Do I pay anything on my own private events?+
No monthly fee. If no ticket is sold through gobblr, there is no gobblr slice.
