About FRANK
FRANK helps restaurants attract more guests, increase margins, and create more time for what matters most. We build software that supports service instead of getting in the way; intuitive, reliable, and designed to feel like a teammate rather than again another system to manage.
Why we build
Restaurants don't exist to manage software. They exist to welcome guests, create memorable experiences, and bring people together. Yet behind many great restaurants lies a patchwork of disconnected systems, fragmented workflows, and manual tasks that consume valuable time and energy.
That's why we build software that helps restaurants spend less time managing systems and more time focusing on what truly matters: the guest.
How we work
The best ideas don't come from behind a desk. We build alongside chefs, managers, and hosts who face these challenges every day. By listening, testing, and continuously improving, we create products that restaurants genuinely enjoy using.
About the role
Are you the technical force behind FRANK? We're looking for a Senior PHP Developer who wants to help build something big. FRANK is a fast-growing startup on a mission to transform the restaurant industry with an intuitive, scalable SaaS platform.
Our tech stack includes Laravel, Blade, Vue.js, Tailwind, and AWS. As a Senior Developer, you'll have the opportunity not only to build the product, but to help shape it. Together, we're challenging the status quo with smart technology, bold ideas, and a healthy dose of startup energy.
If you enjoy thinking beyond the code, contributing to a scalable SaaS product, and working in an ambitious environment, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.
