Agilysys POS and Shiji Infrasys POS both target food and beverage operations within hotels but serve different operational priorities. Agilysys excels with a feature-rich suite focused on upselling, ingredient management, and loyalty programs, suiting properties that require deep POS customization and multi-platform consolidation. Shiji Infrasys POS emphasizes cloud-based deployment and integration scalability, favored by hotels managing multiple outlets or properties needing unified, hardware-agnostic solutions.
Both systems solve the core challenge of streamlining hotel F&B transactions while integrating with property management and inventory systems. They aim to reduce manual effort at the front desk and back-of-house, improve guest service speed, and support revenue growth through operational insights. The critical divergence lies in deployment style, feature breadth, and ecosystem integration scale.
If you operate a resort or casino with complex F&B outlets requiring ingredient tracking, recipe costing, and loyalty program management, Agilysys POS fits these needs best. Its 20 unique features, like Uber Eats integration and chargeback management, support operational depth at larger, food-focused properties, as reflected by its 4.4/5 rating across 23 resort reviews.
For branded hotels, luxury chains, or multi-property groups prioritizing cloud-based flexibility and broad ecosystem integration, Shiji Infrasys POS is more suitable. It holds a 4.6/5 rating over 22 branded hotel reviews and supports offline functionality with hardware agnosticism, important for properties needing uninterrupted service during connectivity issues. Shiji’s 72 verified integrations, triple Agilysys’s count, enable seamless PMS, payment, and inventory synchronization.
Data for limited service or budget hotels is sparse; only 3 reviews exist for Agilysys and 3 for Shiji, so conclusions for that segment remain tentative. However, Shiji’s cloud-native model and ease of use suggest it may better serve smaller or growing portfolios with minimal IT overhead.
Shiji Infrasys POS leads in ease of use with a 4.6/5 rating versus Agilysys’s 4.4/5, combined with a stronger onboarding score (4.5/5 vs. 3.8/5). Reviewers praise Shiji for its intuitive interface that shortens training time and reduces errors during peak service, critical for front desk and F&B staff adoption. One noted that Shiji “made daily operations smoother” and “helped improve team efficiency and guest satisfaction.”
Agilysys users acknowledge the system is “quick and easy” to master but mention onboarding challenges, reflected in a lower onboarding rating. Some reviews suggest that new user training could benefit from more video tutorials and bulk upload options to simplify large property setups.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Agilysys POS offers 20 unique features that directly impact hotel F&B operations: upselling tools, discounts and promotions, gift cards, check splitting, chargeback management, ingredient management, stock alerts, recipe costing, rewards programs, and integrations with delivery platforms like Uber Eats and Door Dash. These features enable culinary and marketing teams to drive incremental revenue and control costs by managing supply and demand precisely.
Shiji Infrasys POS uniquely provides cloud-based and on-premise deployment options, allowing hotels to choose infrastructure models that align with their IT strategies and resilience needs. Cloud deployment supports multi-property management and remote access, while on-premise ensures offline operation continuity.
Both share 21 features, including standard POS functions and integrations with major PMS and payment providers. The expansive exclusive feature set of Agilysys better suits properties focused on food and beverage innovation and guest engagement, whereas Shiji’s deployment flexibility addresses operational continuity and scalability.
Edge: Agilysys Hospitality Solutions.
Shiji Infrasys POS scores higher in customer support with a 4.6/5 rating and onboarding at 4.5/5 compared to Agilysys’s 4/5 and 3.8/5 respectively. Reviewers highlight Shiji’s project managers and support teams for thoroughness and constant communication during implementation, which is crucial for reducing downtime and ensuring staff readiness.
Agilysys users appreciate their LMS support team and responsiveness to feature requests but also report instances of poor service and slow resolution, including credit card processing issues. Four of the 17 negative reviews mention customer service as a key weakness.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Shiji Infrasys POS offers 72 verified integrations, over three times Agilysys’s 23 partners. Both support major hospitality platforms like SiteMinder, Revinate, IDeaS, and Cendyn. Agilysys integrates uniquely with SEVENROOMS, NAVIS, and INTELITY, which benefit luxury resorts and casinos requiring advanced guest engagement tools.
Shiji’s broader ecosystem includes Amadeus, Mews, Oaky by Plusgrade, and other revenue management and distribution systems, supporting complex multi-property operations and branded hotels. This extensive partner network facilitates unified data flow, reducing manual reconciliation and improving decision accuracy.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Shiji Infrasys POS maintains a higher overall rating at 4.6/5 across 33 reviews versus Agilysys’s 4/5 from 30 reviews. Shiji’s last six months include two new reviews that reinforce a consistent high rating, while Agilysys has had no recent reviews, which may limit insight into current performance.
By segment, Shiji leads among branded hotels (4.6 vs. 4.4), luxury hotels (4.4 vs. 4.1), and boutique hotels (4.5 vs. 3.7), reflecting satisfaction with its cloud deployment and integration depth. Agilysys rates higher only in hostels (4.7 vs. 4.5), but the review count for this niche is too small for strong conclusions.
Edge: Shiji Group.
Agilysys POS has a base price of $800 with no implementation fee, monthly flat fee, or per-room pricing published. Shiji Infrasys POS starts at a lower base price of $600, similarly without implementation or recurring fees disclosed.
Neither offers a freemium model or trial period. The lack of detailed recurring cost data requires hotels to engage vendors for tailored pricing, but the lower base price of Shiji may offer initial cost advantages, especially for multi-property deployments.

Agilysys POS and Shiji Infrasys POS differ fundamentally in deployment philosophy and feature specialization. Agilysys provides a rich set of F&B and guest engagement features tailored for resorts and casinos with complex operations, while Shiji delivers a cloud-first, integration-heavy solution optimized for branded hotels and multi-property portfolios.
Choose Agilysys POS if your hotel benefits from ingredient-level inventory control, recipe costing, and integrated delivery platforms to drive operational efficiency and revenue growth. Its 20 unique features support deep F&B management and loyalty program execution.
Choose Shiji Infrasys POS if your property or portfolio requires robust cloud deployment, offline capability, and extensive ecosystem integrations to unify F&B with PMS, payments, and revenue management. Its higher overall ratings, ease of use, and customer support scores reflect strong satisfaction for hotels prioritizing operational scalability and user adoption.

| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
