GoMobo is a service provider to restaurants that want to add remote ordering capabilities to their existing restaurant websites. Current "Powered by GoMobo" ordering microsites include:

Do-It-Yourself Online Ordering

GoMobo also works with hundreds of independent restaurants, providing them with self-service management tools that make it easy to add remote ordering services to their existing restaurant websites. Using the GoMobo Self-Signup tool, restaurant owners and managers can sign up their restaurants online, manage store info, website design, online menus, and delivery settings, and pull chain-level, region-level, or store-level reports on sales, products, and users.

OLO The Takeout Order Receiver

In early 2010, GoMobo launched a standalone hardware device called “OLO” (a restaurant industry acronym for On-Line Ordering), which allows restaurants who lack Internet access or an advanced point-of-sale system to make use of the GoMobo remote ordering platform. When customers place orders online or from their mobile phone, GoMobo transmits the orders to the restaurants’ OLO device, which buzzes and sounds a siren to notify the restaurant crew that the order has arrived. OLO 1.0 makes use of the Peek Pronto hardware device and service by Peek and launched with 100 restaurants in Southern California and Las Vegas.

GoMobo was the first US online ordering company to release text message ordering capabilities in 2005. Today, GoMobo works with restaurants to create mobile applications for the Android, Blackberry, and iPhone. GoMobo also creates mobile-optimized mobile ordering websites, that allow customers to place orders with faster page load times and fewer clicks and keystrokes. Current "Powered by GoMobo" mobile ordering microsites include:
