TheFork operates a consumer-facing platform for discovering and booking restaurant tables, alongside TheFork Manager, a software solution for restaurant operations. Founded in 2007 by Bertrand Jelensperger and acquired by Tripadvisor in May 2014, the company connects diners with establishments ranging from neighbourhood bistros to Michelin-starred venues across Europe, Latin America, and Australia.
The platform reaches over 20 million monthly visitors and has accumulated more than 40 million app downloads. Its network includes over 55,000 partner restaurants and 20 million verified reviews. TheFork Manager provides restaurants with tools to optimise reservation management, streamline operations, and boost revenue, serving establishments across the company's 11-country footprint.
The technical infrastructure supports mobile applications, online booking systems, review aggregation, and restaurant management software. The company's scale and geographic diversity create substantial opportunities for engineers working on distributed systems, mobile development, data management, and the integration of consumer-facing and B2B restaurant technology platforms.
