Reserving a table in a restaurant is something that we have been able to do for years and easily from our cell phone. The most common thing is to do it over the phone, although hay apps that make things even easier. This is the case of “TheFork”, formerly known as “ElTenedor”, and it is one of the most recommended for iPhone.
I have been using this application for years with the advantage that in addition to reserving a table, We can also find discounts at nearby restaurants. If you are planning to go out for lunch or dinner during the holidays, you will surely be interested in downloading it, since it is also free.
An application integrated into Apple Maps for a long time
If you don’t have “TheFork” installed, it doesn’t matter. It is already integrated with Apple Maps and in fact it has been like this for seven years and without the need to install the application, although we will explain the importance of installing it later.
What the application offers with Apple Maps is its customer review system. Since Maps doesn’t have its own system, it’s what many, but not all, restaurants rely on. Although it is available in the main cities of USA, it is not yet reached in all of them and even in these cities it does not cover all restaurants.
What the “LaFourchette” application offers and why it is worth downloading it
“TheFork” is available for free in the App Store, so you can install it on your iPhone that way. Inside what we find is a complete guide to restaurants where you can book in less than a minute. Even if that’s not all.

Another fact to highlight and which is not trivial is that we can find exclusive discounts for restaurants. In fact, we can navigate on a map where we can see all the restaurants assigned to this service with their average rating given by customers and the discount they offer.
It is also an incentive to leave accumulate loyalty points that translate into future discountsso if we often go out for lunch or dinner, it will be interesting to try doing it with “LaFourchette”.
