TheFork doesn’t operate in Asia. Revasi was built here.
TheFork is TripAdvisor’s European restaurant marketplace — commission-based, brand-diluting, and not available in Asia. If you’re comparing reservation platforms for a high-end venue in this region, Revasi was purpose-built for you.

The same system that seats Locavore NXT, Soléa, Empat Group and other venues across Bali every day.
Why TheFork isn’t the answer for Asian venues.
TheFork (owned by TripAdvisor) is one of Europe’s largest restaurant booking marketplaces. In France, Italy and Spain, it has genuine consumer reach and drives meaningful bookings for restaurants of all types. It’s a significant player in those markets.
But TheFork has no presence in Asia. It shut down its Australian operations in early 2025 and has shown no expansion into Asian markets. For a high-end venue in Bali, Bangkok, Singapore or Tokyo, TheFork is simply not an option — there’s no consumer base, no marketplace, no infrastructure.
Even setting geography aside, TheFork’s model has the same fundamental issues as other marketplace platforms. It charges approximately €2.60 per person per reservation — including repeat guests who already know your venue. Every booking goes through TheFork’s branded interface, with your restaurant listed alongside competitors. The platform promotes deals and loyalty incentives that condition guests to expect discounts.
For a high-end restaurant or bar where brand identity, guest relationships and margin protection matter, this marketplace model works against you — regardless of geography. And since TheFork doesn’t operate in Asia, it’s not even an option to weigh.
What Revasi offers instead.
Actually available in Asia
Revasi was built alongside premium venues across Asia — Bali, Singapore, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and beyond. The platform, the support and the product understanding are rooted in this market.
Zero commission, always
TheFork charges €2.60 per person per reservation. Revasi charges a flat subscription — no per-cover fees, no commission on any booking type. Your revenue from every table stays yours.
Your brand, not a marketplace
Guests book through your own branded experience — your photography, your colours, your tone. No marketplace listings, no competitor exposure, no discount incentives undermining your positioning.
Personal support across Asian time zones
Every Revasi partner gets a dedicated contact and a private WhatsApp channel. Support is personal, fast and available when your venue is actually operating.

No. TheFork operates primarily in Europe — France, Italy, Spain and other EU markets. It shut down its Australian operations in early 2025 and has no presence in Asia. If your venue is in Asia, TheFork is not a viable option.
TheFork charges approximately €2.60 per person per reservation made through the marketplace — including repeat visits from existing customers. This commission applies to every booking that comes through TheFork, which can add up significantly for high-volume premium venues. Revasi charges a flat subscription with zero per-cover commission.
TheFork is a European restaurant marketplace owned by TripAdvisor. It drives bookings through consumer discovery with commission per cover. Revasi is not a marketplace — it’s a branded reservation platform where guests book directly through your venue’s own experience. No commission, no competitor listings, and your data stays yours.
TheFork serves all restaurant types across Europe, from casual dining to high-end venues. However, its marketplace model — with promotional deals, loyalty points and commission per cover — is designed to drive volume, which can create tension for high-end venues focused on brand positioning and exclusivity.
