Get ready, foodies! Your restaurant booking game is about to level up, and yes, it’s powered by AI.

This isn’t just another app upgrade—it’s a full-blown dining revolution.
TheFork Embraces AI Innovation for Effortless Dining
If you’ve ever wrestled with a glitchy booking system or missed out on that perfect table for Friday night, this news is for you. TheFork’s collaboration with OpenAI’s Operator promises to transform how you book restaurants. Now, UK diners can use AI to automate reservations, get personalised dining recommendations, and even snag those hard-to-find special offers—all without lifting a finger.
Imagine this: You crave sushi on a rainy Tuesday night. Instead of scrolling endlessly through options, Operator steps in. It navigates restaurant booking pages, checks availability, and manages the whole process for you. Yes, that means no more calling the restaurant or refreshing booking sites in frustration.

How Does OpenAI’s Operator Work with TheFork?
The integration goes beyond simple reservations. With Operator, diners get an AI-powered personal assistant that handles every detail of your night out—or in. Here’s how it shakes things up:
- Automated Bookings: Operator dives into TheFork’s system, checks table availability, and secures your spot without any manual effort.
- Personalised Recommendations: Using data like your cuisine preferences, location, and dining history, Operator serves up spot-on dining suggestions.
- Reservation Management: Need to tweak or cancel a booking? Operator handles it with ease—no awkward phone calls required.
- Special Offers Automatically Applied: No need to hunt for deals—Operator ensures that any available offers are applied automatically.
Almir Ambeskovic, CEO of TheFork, summed it up perfectly: “With OpenAI’s Operator, we’re harnessing the best of AI-powered efficiency and personalisation to enhance every aspect of the dining experience. This is just one of many steps forward in bringing our innovative vision to life.”
Why This Matters for London’s Foodies
Let’s be honest—London’s dining scene is a beast. From Michelin-starred marvels in Mayfair to hidden gems in Shoreditch’s back alleys, scoring the right reservation can feel like a competitive sport. But now, TheFork’s AI-backed booking system puts diners ahead of the curve.
No more obsessively refreshing booking pages. No more awkward calls trying to adjust times. Operator has it all under control—because you deserve a seamless, stress-free dining experience.
And for Shoreditch trendsetters who live for those impossible-to-get tables at the latest pop-up, this could be your secret weapon.
