  title: TheFork POS API
  description: >-
    TheFork POS API enables point-of-sale providers to integrate their systems
    with TheFork Management (TFM) platform and synchronize reservations and
    orders. The integration is webhook-driven: when a diner is marked ARRIVED or
    SEATED on TFM, TheFork calls the POS provider's configured endpoint (for
    example a receipt opening URL) to open an order; staff then add items on the
    POS, and on payment the POS closes the order and sends final details such as
    total amount and currency back to TheFork, which marks the reservation as
    LEFT. The same flow applies to walk-in diners, where the reservation is
    created in TFM on arrival. Requests TheFork sends to the POS carry a bearer
    token and a CustomerId header identifying the restaurant. POS provider
    requests to TheFork authenticate with an API key in the X-Api-Key header.
    Specifications are derived from the public developer portal at
