FRANK is more than just a reservation system
FRANK brings reservations, guest data and artificial intelligence together in one integrated system. The platform has been built from the ground up, making AI not an afterthought, but a fundamental part of the system. This enables restaurateurs to make better decisions about table occupancy, guest relations and capacity. Luc Kusters of restaurant Bolenius Rembrandtpark in Amsterdam also confirms that this complex technology takes the pressure off users: ‘Simple is not easy’. It is precisely this hidden complexity that ensures a flawless experience, as Floris van der Sluis and Fabian Loveriks of Rotterdam’s 1NUL8 Group agree: ‘FRANK works so intuitively that our entire team understood it within a minute. That’s how it should be.’
The team behind FRANK consists of experienced specialists with backgrounds at Formitable, Booking, HEERLIJK.nl and Temper, among others. This combination of experience, technology and focus makes it possible to switch gears quickly and offer a strong alternative to existing international players.
Rapid growth for FRANK reservation system
According to founder Arthur Bassant, the speed with which FRANK gained traction came as a surprise. “You come up with something and hope for success, but you never expect it to happen so quickly. It feels special to see new restaurants going live every day. I am especially grateful to the team for this, and to the hospitality entrepreneurs who have shown their confidence in us. The growth is now continuing rapidly. Hundreds of new restaurants will be connected in the first quarter of 2026. In January 2026 alone, two to three businesses are scheduled to go live every day.”
Get to know FRANK
During the Wine Professional 2026 trade fair from Monday 12 January to Wednesday 14 January 2026, FRANK will demonstrate how the system works in practice within fine dining. This is not a vision of the future, but a solution that is already being used today by leading restaurants. Arthur Bassant: “Hospitality professionals and media who want to experience FRANK up close are welcome to visit stand 502. A glass of champagne will be waiting for you. A presentation, including an entrance ticket to Wine Professional if desired, can be reserved via their website.
