Traveling Spoon is an online marketplace for in-home meals, cooking classes and market tours hosted by personally vetted local cooks in more than 200 destinations worldwide, plus private online classes for travelers at home. For operators, it brings culturally curious food travelers seeking small-group culinary experiences and market tours, a different audience from sightseers.

Requesting a Traveling Spoon Connection
We're always open to new integrations. Traveling Spoon can connect to Ventrata directly through OCTO, the open API standard for tours, activities and attractions that Ventrata helped found. Once it's connected, Traveling Spoon could check your live availability and prices in Ventrata, and bookings, changes and cancellations made on Traveling Spoon would be created in Ventrata instantly, with Ventrata tickets issued to the customer.
To set up an integration project:
Introduce us. If you work with Traveling Spoon, send one email to your Traveling Spoon contact and [email protected], so both teams are in the same thread. Say which products you'd like to sell through Traveling Spoon.
We take it from here. Ventrata's connectivity team contacts Traveling Spoon, shares Ventrata's OCTO API documentation and test credentials, and agrees the plan with them.
Traveling Spoon builds and certifies the connection. Traveling Spoon builds against the OCTO API and passes OCTO certification, then Ventrata certifies it with test bookings. Most resellers finish development in 2 to 10 business days.
Connect and sell. Once it's live, Traveling Spoon appears under Connections → Connections, and you connect it like any other reseller.
If Traveling Spoon works with its own API specification rather than OCTO, we're happy to consider that too. We'll discuss the options with Traveling Spoon after your introduction.
📗 TIP
See How to Request a New API Connection or Partner for what to include in your introduction email, with a sample you can copy.
Working with Traveling Spoon in the Meantime
Until a connection is live, you can still sell through Traveling Spoon in whichever way suits you, for example:
Reseller Portal: let Traveling Spoon book your products itself through your Reseller Portal, so its bookings go straight into Ventrata.
Manual bookings: enter Traveling Spoon bookings yourself in the Backoffice, so your capacity stays accurate.
Through another connected platform: check the List of Supported Connections & Partners in case Traveling Spoon sells through a platform that's already connected to Ventrata.
