A restaurant booking software and WhatsApp reservation engine that automates bookings, manages real capacity and sends instant confirmations. Complete restaurant reservation automation with zero commissions or intermediaries, ideal as an alternative to TheFork. FRAI builds the system and manages the full infrastructure.
What we solve
A WhatsApp reservation system for restaurants that works 24/7 via WhatsApp and web. Guests choose date and time and the system confirms automatically with no commissions or intermediaries. A real TheFork alternative without commission fees.
We build internal tools to control capacity, manage terrace/indoor seating, block time slots, handle groups and respect shifts. Much more flexible than traditional restaurant booking software.
The system confirms reservations, sends reminders, requests reconfirmation and reduces no-shows. Ideal for direct bookings via WhatsApp or your website.
Integrates seamlessly with Odoo, Google Sheets, Airtable, calendars or in-house systems. It can coexist with TheFork or partially replace it to drive more direct, commission-free reservations.
FRAI manages servers, security, WhatsApp Business API, availability logic, logs and orchestration. You focus on your restaurant, not the technical stack.
