Spice by Blake opts for FRANK: more grip, more experience, more time for guest

At Spice by Blake, it's all about the experience. From the moment you book to the last taste on your plate, every detail counts. To further enhance that experience, we are now working with FRANK, an intuitive reservation and guest management platform that perfectly aligns with our vision.

FRANK has been developed for modern restaurants that strive not only for operational perfection but also for a deeper connection with their guests. The system brings together reservations, guest data, payments, and service processes in one clear environment. This ensures calm in operations and more focus on what truly matters: the guest.

For us, this means we gain an even better understanding of who our guests are and what they value. This enables us to make the experience more personal, exceed expectations, and make every visit feel like a meticulously orchestrated journey.

Furthermore, FRANK helps us to work smarter. Fewer manual operations, more overview, and better predictions mean that we can operate more efficiently while simultaneously continuing to improve quality.

Reservations are thus transformed into more than just a booking. They become valuable moments where experience, engagement, and hospitality converge.

With FRANK, we're taking another step in creating a restaurant experience that is not only surprising on the plate, but also beyond it.

A new season, a new outlook 

With the first rays of sunlight lighting up Rotterdam again, it feels like the perfect time to head outside. Our terrace comes alive, glasses are filled, conversations last just a little bit longer... and this year we do so under a beautiful new addition.

Our new awning has arrived. Deep blue in colour, with our logo in elegant gold letters. A real eye-catcher that not only provides shelter from the sun, but also immediately radiates the atmosphere of Spice by Blake: warm, stylish and with an eye for detail.

The awning gives our terrace a new look. A place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city, where the afternoon slowly turns into the evening and where flavours and moments come together. Whether you stop by for a long lunch, a drink with bites or a dinner in the evening sun, it's even better here now.

We want to Huco Sun protection thank you for the fine service and craftsmanship. From the first contact to the installation, everything went smoothly and the result is absolutely stunning.

The sun is here again. Our terrace is ready for it. You too?
