TheFork

TheFork is a leading European restaurant reservations marketplace, part of Tripadvisor, connecting diners with tens of thousands of restaurants across Europe and beyond. Through its developers portal, TheFork exposes a public REST API surface for restaurants, point-of-sale systems, and third-party partners to integrate with TheFork Management platform. The API enables partners to build custom booking flows, create and manage reservations with full detail such as meal date, party size, and customer data, surface preset menus and curated dining experiences, and access personalized guest data including allergies, dietary restrictions, and seating preferences. Offerings include a B2B API for restaurants and a POS API for point-of-sale providers.
