Shiji and FreedomPay advance all-in-one payments strategy for global hospitality operations

Shiji and FreedomPay extend their collaboration with an all in one approach that unifies point of sale and payment workflows, supporting global hospitality groups in simplifying operations and modernizing service delivery.

Atlanta, Georgia, USA, June 11, 2026 – Shiji, the global leader in hospitality technology, and FreedomPay, a leading provider of secure commerce solutions, today announced the next phase of their collaboration, introducing an all-in-one solution approach to payments and point-of-sale designed for enterprise hospitality environments.

As hotel groups continue to operate across multiple properties, brands, and revenue centers —including rooms, restaurants, bars, conference spaces, and leisure facilities —operational complexity has increasingly shifted from system connectivity to how work is actually performed on the ground. In this context, the collaboration moves beyond traditional integration and towards a more unified operational approach, where Shiji’s Infrasys POS, Astral Payments connected to FreedomPay operate as a single workflow, connecting ordering and payment across the guest journey.

At the core of this evolution is an all‑in‑one model in which point‑of‑sale and payment functionality are combined within a single mobile device. This enables staff to manage the full transaction journey, from order to payment, without switching systems or moving between ordering devices and terminals.  In large or multi‑use hospitality environments, this shift reduces friction across service moments and supports amore consistent way of working across outlets.

“At enterprise level, the challenge is no longer connecting systems but simplifying how operations run across properties and teams” said Kevin King, CEO, Shiji International. “Our work with FreedomPay supports a more unified model, where staff can move through service naturally, with the technology aligned to how hospitality is actually delivered.”

Rather than relying on separate terminals for ordering and payment, staff are able to take orders, manage guest checks, split bills, and complete transactions directly at the point of interaction. This creates a more fluid service experience, particularly in environments where teams move between spaces and where traditional fixed terminals and workstations can create unnecessary delays or handoffs.

For hospitality groups managing diverse and geographically distributed portfolios, the shift also addresses the operational challenges created by fragmented systems and inconsistent processes. By aligning payments more closely with point‑of‑sale workflows, F&B outlets can reduce manual steps, improve accuracy, and provide a more predictable guest experience across outlets while maintaining flexibility at the local level.

“Payments are becoming part of the service experience itself, not just the final step,” said Christopher Kronenthal, President, FreedomPay. “Aligning payments with operational workflows allows hospitality organizations to simplify service delivery while maintaining the consistency required across global portfolios.”

The approach builds on mobile, Android‑based devices that combine ordering and payment acceptance into a single solution, reducing reliance on multiple hardware components and simplifying day‑to‑day operations for staff. Within this model, transactions can be completed directly at the table or point of service, enabling a more immediate and integrated guest experience without interrupting the flow of service.

As hospitality organizations continue to adapt to more dynamic and experience‑driven service models, the shift towards all‑in‑one operational platforms reflects a broader move away from system complexity and toward more integrated, staff‑centric workflows.

This next phase of the Shiji and FreedomPay collaboration reflects a shared focus on supporting enterprise hospitality customers in modernizing operations at scale, moving beyond integration towards a more unified and practical foundation for service delivery.
