FRANK and Dinestar (previous DiningCity)

Send reservations that are made through Dinestar directly to FRANK

What this integration enables

The DiningCity integration connects DiningCity with FRANK, allowing reservations made via DiningCity to automatically appear in FRANK.


Availability is fully controlled by you, based on the shifts and channels you configure in FRANK.

This means:

  • Reservations from DiningCity are processed automatically

  • Your availability stays accurate and up to date

  • You decide when and how your restaurant can be booked via DiningCity

Before you start

Before activating the integration, make sure:

  • You have an active Dinestar (previously DiningCity) account

  • You have access to FRANK with admin permissions

  • Your shifts are correctly set up in FRANK

How the integration works

The integration uses your FRANK shifts to determine when DiningCity is allowed to accept reservations. You can manage this in two ways:

Option 1: Use existing shifts

You can enable DiningCity as a channel on one or more of your existing shifts.
​
​Why choose this option?

  • Availability is automatically updated when you change your regular shifts

  • Less maintenance

Option 2: Create dedicated DiningCity ticket

You can create a separate ticket with a shifts specifically for DiningCity reservations.

Why choose this option?

  • More control over when DiningCity is bookable

  • You can disable the FRANK widget for these shifts
    ​
