For restaurants looking to grow revenue while keeping costs under control, every opportunity matters.

TheFork Pay helps you save on transaction fees without any additional hardware, while unlocking new revenue streams through increased visibility and access to high-value diners.

Already adopted by over 26,000 restaurants across Europe, TheFork Pay is now available in the UK. It brings a fully connected experience, from booking to payment, directly to your restaurant — seamlessly integrated into TheFork ecosystem.

And here’s what makes it different:

Zero Transaction Fees. Real Revenue Impact.

TheFork Pay charges zero transaction fees for restaurants.

That means no per-payment processing cost on top of your existing commission structure — and no extra hardware or recurring costs.

Fully embedded in TheFork Manager ecosystem, it provides a faster, smarter way to manage payments while helping you protect your margins and grow your revenue.

Cut costs and protect margins

No hardware. No recurring fees. No transaction fees.

A payment solution designed to simplify operations without adding extra cost per bill — while keeping more of your revenue in your pocket.

 

Attract high-spending guests

Activating TheFork Pay enables you to accept TheFork Gift Cards — helping you attract high-value diners (avg. £78 per card), with 100% of the amount paid directly to your restaurant.

It also allows guests to use Yums and Direct Discounts, increasing your appeal to loyal, high-intent diners already engaged in the TheFork ecosystem.

Boost visibility

Appear in searches for Gift Cards, Yums, and Direct Discounts — reaching more high-intent diners actively looking to book and spend.

Faster service, smoother operations

Guests pay independently from their phone, reducing time spent managing the bill and helping you optimise table turnover.

At the same time, your staff spends less time handling payments and more time focusing on hospitality, service, and upselling — improving both efficiency and guest satisfaction.

Secure and seamless payment management

Payments are processed via Stripe, settled directly into your bank account within 24–48 hours, fully traceable and managed directly in TheFork Manager.

A Better Experience for Diners


For guests, TheFork Pay means:

  • No waiting for the card machine

  • Paying directly through TheFork app

  • Easy bill splitting

  • Payment via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card

  • The ability to use Gift Cards and apply eligible discounts in one smooth experience (Yums are redeemed at the time of booking)

  • A smoother checkout supports better reviews, higher satisfaction, and more repeat visits.

Activate TheFork Pay and turn your payment solution into a competitive advantage — saving on transaction fees while increasing your restaurant’s visibility and revenue.
