"I’ve found TheFork to be a very user-friendly booking system, and I love the marketing tools and campaigns available, such as Yums and TheFork Festival. TheFork Festival is a great way to generate bookings. We achieved over a 100% increase in bookings, around 80 additional bookings per day and as a result, gained an additional £20K revenue per month!”
