Overview

Obee is a reservation and table management system with an online waiting list and a text to walk-ins when their table is ready. All three plans say to contact the vendor for pricing.

Buying style: Sales-led How we compare

Obee is built around the reservation book, with a waiting list added for the guests who show up without one. You manage bookings and tables from any computer, tablet or smartphone, and you can tailor the run sheet, floor plan and timeline views to how your room works.

For walk-ins, guests can add themselves to the waiting list online, which turns a cancelled table into a seat for someone nearby. When a table opens, the host can send a custom text message to the walk-in. On a Friday rush that keeps the door clear without pagers.

The three plans differ as follows. Standard covers unlimited bookings, table and waitlist management, a guestbook, payments and deposits, one marketing integration, Reserve with Google and reporting. Branded adds a dedicated account manager, an embeddable booking widget, multi-venue management and unlimited events. The Plus plan brings API access, on-site training, custom dashboards and unlimited users and devices.

None of the plans shows a price; each says to contact the vendor. The site mentions no setup charge, a flat fee each month and no lock-in contract. Payments add a 0.8% service fee plus Pin Payments fees. No POS integration is recorded, and the homepage notes that features vary by country, so ask what is live where you operate.
