Infor POS and Vento ePOS both serve as point-of-sale (POS) systems tailored for hotel food and beverage operations, but they diverge sharply in focus, features, and market presence. Infor POS targets multi-revenue center management across hospitality venues, emphasizing secure transaction integration and operational versatility with a cloud-based model. Vento ePOS specializes in restaurant and bar POS functionality with advanced stock management, operating as a standalone system or integrated with HOTELTIME’s PMS.
Vento’s user base spans a diversity of hotel segments, including resorts (26%), boutique hotels (11%), and city center hotels (11%), supported by 284 verified reviews averaging 4.7/5 overall. In contrast, Infor POS has no verified reviews on Hotel Tech Report, limiting insight into current user satisfaction. Both systems aim to streamline F&B operations, but Vento’s cloud-first approach with extensive inventory and guest profile management sets it apart operationally, while Infor POS offers employee reporting unique among the two.
If your hotel operates multiple food and beverage outlets requiring centralized transaction control across revenue centers and you value employee management reporting, Infor POS may suit your needs, although it lacks publicly available user ratings and detailed feature disclosures. This suggests limited market traction or a potentially outdated offering.
Conversely, if you run a hotel with integrated restaurant and bar operations needing cloud-based access, real-time stock and ingredient management, and tailored guest profiles—with a hotel portfolio including resorts, boutique, and city center hotels—Vento ePOS is a proven choice. Its 4.7/5 rating from 284 reviews, including 23 in the last six months at 4.5/5, indicates consistent satisfaction and ongoing product development. For small to medium-sized hotels in Europe, Middle East, Asia Pacific, or Africa, Vento’s regional presence and integration with HOTELTIME PMS make it a safer, better-supported option. Data for North American properties on Infor is unavailable, making Vento the more verifiable choice internationally.
Ease of use and onboarding ratings are only available for Vento ePOS, scoring 4.7/5 in both categories across 284 reviews. Reviewers commonly praise its intuitive interface that accelerates staff learning and daily operations. Infor POS lacks any verified ratings, making direct comparison impossible.
User feedback on Vento highlights fast transaction posting, accessible cloud-based control for F&B managers, and streamlined workflows. However, some users report a dated interface and language localization issues. These concerns suggest minor friction but do not outweigh the overall ease of adoption. Given the lack of Infor data, the evidence favors Vento ePOS on usability metrics, but without Infor reviews, the edge is undetermined by strict criteria.
Edge: Even.
Vento ePOS offers 26 unique features not found in Infor POS, compared to Infor’s 1 unique feature. Vento’s exclusive capabilities include on-premise deployment, self-service table-side ordering, upselling tools, digital menus, integrated kitchen displays, and comprehensive stock management with alerts and ingredient tracking. These features directly assist F&B managers and kitchen staff by improving order accuracy, reducing waste, and enhancing upsell opportunities, which can increase revenue and operational control. Vento also supports rewards programs with physical loyalty cards and detailed guest profiles, facilitating personalized guest engagement.
Infor POS’s sole unique feature is employee reporting and management, which helps HR managers and operations supervisors monitor staff performance and schedules but lacks the depth of operational features seen in Vento. Both systems share four features, but the substantial difference in hotel-specific POS functions gives Vento a clear advantage for properties prioritizing integrated F&B management.
Edge: Vento ePOS by HOTELTIME.
Customer support ratings are only available for Vento ePOS, scoring 4.8/5 with onboarding at 4.7/5. Multiple reviewers commend HOTELTIME’s responsive and helpful support team, noting quick troubleshooting and consistent communication during implementation. Some users request more on-site training and deeper setup guidance, indicating room for improvement in onboarding depth but not in support quality itself.
Infor POS has no customer support ratings or reviews, providing no basis for comparison. Without conflicting data, the support quality for Infor POS remains unknown, making the comparison incomplete. Because HOTELTIME’s support is widely praised and Infor’s unverified, the edge goes to HOTELTIME based on available evidence, but the prompt’s rules require at least 10 reviews on both sides for an edge call.
Edge: Even.
Infor POS supports 112 verified integration partners versus HOTELTIME’s 60, with 29 shared partners including major platforms like SiteMinder, TrustYou, and Revinate. Infor’s exclusive integrations cover companies like Priority Software, Birchstreet, and Omnibees, relevant for hotels seeking broad connectivity to enterprise resource planning and revenue management tools. HOTELTIME’s unique partners, such as STR, GuestRevu, and Sojern, focus more on guest experience analytics and distribution.
Hotels requiring extensive integration with global enterprise systems might prefer Infor POS for its broader partner network, especially if aligned with North American or multi-national operations. Meanwhile, HOTELTIME’s integration set is well-suited for properties in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East that prioritize PMS and guest engagement interfaces. The 112 to 60 partner count difference surpasses the 25% threshold for an integration edge.
Edge: Infor POS by Infor.
Infor POS has no verified reviews on Hotel Tech Report, making any rating comparison impossible. Vento ePOS holds a 4.7/5 overall rating across 284 reviews, with 23 reviews in the last six months maintaining a strong 4.5/5 score. This recent review activity confirms that Vento’s ratings reflect the current product experience.
Segment-specific ratings for Vento show consistent satisfaction: branded hotels (4.8/5, 67 reviews), resorts (4.7/5, 125 reviews), boutique hotels (4.7/5, 127 reviews), and airport/conference hotels (4.8/5, 65 reviews). Bed & breakfasts also rate Vento highly at 4.7/5 from 122 reviews. The volume and recency of reviews indicate a mature, well-adopted solution with stable performance.
Edge: Even (due to lack of Infor data).
Infor POS does not publish pricing or trial information, leaving buyers without transparent cost data. HOTELTIME’s Vento ePOS charges a base price of $300 but does not offer freemium, monthly flat, or per-room pricing tiers. No implementation fees or trials are advertised for either product.
Without detailed pricing models or total cost of ownership estimates, hotels must engage sales teams for quotes. HOTELTIME’s clear base price offers at least some upfront transparency compared to Infor’s undisclosed pricing.

The core difference between Infor POS and Vento ePOS lies in their feature depth and market validation. Infor POS focuses on centralized transaction and employee reporting for hospitality venues but lacks public user feedback and detailed hotel-specific features. Vento ePOS delivers a richer feature set tailored to hotel F&B operations with strong inventory control, guest profiles, and cloud-based access, supported by a substantial and recent review base across diverse hotel types.
Choose Infor POS if your hotel requires broad integrations with enterprise systems, values employee management reporting, and operates primarily in North America, where Infor has a recognized presence. Its hardware versatility may also support complex revenue center configurations.
Choose Vento ePOS if you operate resorts, boutique, or city center hotels in Europe, Asia, or Africa, and need a cloud-based POS that tightly integrates with hotel PMS, offers advanced stock and menu management, and has proven ease of use and customer support backed by hundreds of recent reviews. Its features support operational efficiency and guest experience improvements critical in these segments.
The lack of Infor POS reviews and pricing transparency tilts the recommendation toward Vento ePOS for hoteliers seeking a validated, hotel-centric POS solution today.

The HT Score is a composite ranking that considers 4 criteria groups and over a dozen variables to help hoteliers objectively compare hotel technology products. Infor has an HT Score of 0 and HOTELTIME has 96. Here is how the score is calculated.
| 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 →
