TheFork is a restaurant reservation platform. Diners search for and book tables through the website and app, while restaurants use the platform to manage reservations, guest details and online bookings, including the business product TheFork Manager. The service operates in several European countries under the TheFork brand. The legal operator is La Fourchette SAS in Paris.
The company's privacy statement names La Fourchette SAS as data controller and appoints representatives in the EU and the United Kingdom. TripAdvisor, a US company, is the current parent. In June 2026 TripAdvisor agreed to sell TheFork to American Express, also a US company, with closing expected by the end of 2026. Where customer data is hosted is not stated in its public privacy material. For a European organisation the French establishment is relevant, but US ownership means that requests from US authorities could reach the group, so hosting and transfer arrangements should be checked directly with the vendor.
