In today’s fast-paced hospitality environment, flexibility, efficiency, and innovation are key—and Shiji Group’s Infrasys point-of-sale (POS) system delivers on all fronts. After implementing Infrasys across our entire full-service portfolio—spanning multiple hotel brands—we’ve seen a significant improvement in the way we operate and manage our F&B outlets. One of the core strengths of Infrasys is that it is genuinely cloud-based and hardware-agnostic. Unlike traditional on-premise POS systems, Infrasys doesn’t require costly servers or a ton of physical infrastructure at each location. This has given us the freedom to manage the system remotely, from anywhere in the world, without needing to be physically on-site at each property. Configuration changes, menu updates, pricing adjustments, or system troubleshooting can be handled instantly through the cloud interface. This alone has saved us considerable time, travel, and operational disruptions—especially across a geographically diverse portfolio. Hardware flexibility is another major advantage. We’re not locked into proprietary terminals or specific brands, which allows us to use a mix of existing hardware and new investments tailored to each location’s needs and budget. This approach has helped us reduce capital expenditure while maintaining high performance across properties. Ease of use is a critical factor when rolling out any new system at scale, and Infrasys has proven to be extremely user-friendly. The interface is intuitive, allowing new team members to get up to speed quickly. In an industry with frequent turnover, this simplicity has been invaluable for accelerating onboarding and maintaining consistency in service. Moreover, having a unified POS system across all our properties has allowed us to cross-utilize staff with minimal retraining. Whether a team member is covering a shift at another hotel or transitioning to a different brand within our group, the consistency of Infrasys means they can start working effectively almost immediately. This has improved labor flexibility and helped us better manage staffing challenges during peak times or special events. Infrasys shines when it comes to customization. Every aspect of the system—from user permissions and workflows to menu layouts and reporting structures—can be tailored to meet the specific operational needs of each property. We’ve been able to configure each hotel’s POS to align with its unique branding, service style, and guest expectations while still maintaining a consistent backend structure for centralized oversight. This level of customizability is a key reason we’ve been able to maintain both brand individuality and operational efficiency across our diverse portfolio. Whether it’s a luxury resort, boutique hotel, or a high-volume urban property, Infrasys adapts to the environment seamlessly. The recent integration with iPort has opened even more possibilities for enhancing guest service and driving incremental revenue. Through this partnership, we’ve been able to extend our POS functionality beyond traditional F&B outlets to other areas of the property, including pools, lounges, meeting spaces, and even in-room dining. Guests can place orders and pay directly on-site using iPort-powered devices, with support for credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and the ability to post charges to their room folio. Orders are sent directly to the kitchen or bar in real time, reducing lag and improving service speed. This not only enhances the guest experience but also captures sales that might have been lost due to friction in the #ordering or payment process. In many cases, we’ve seen an uptick in F&B revenue simply by making it easier and more convenient for guests to order and pay. The ability to meet guests where they are—physically and digitally—has been a game-changer, especially in larger properties where traditional service models can be limiting. What stands out most about Shiji Group is their commitment to continuous improvement. They are not simply maintaining the status quo—they’re actively investing in innovation and listening to customer feedback to refine and expand their solutions. The iPort integration is just one example of this forward-thinking approach.
