As part of their initiative towards better, more sustainable living, FRNK opens its doors to its latest branch at SM Grand Central. Attended by co-owner and brand ambassador Isabelle Daza and other celebs like Cristine Reyes, Christi Mcgarry, Kirst Viray, and more, the store opening also paved a way to introduce the brand’s latest innovation, the FRNK®️ Self-checkout Kiosk. It’s an intuitive, contactless ordering system that allows customers to select their favorite beverages and desserts from a digital touchscreen – encouraging virtual payments, improving order accuracy, and reducing wait times.
