Introduction

Since switching to Shiji’s Infrasys POS, Royal River has achieved a 100% accuracy rate in order processing.

Royal River, part of the Luxury Tenerife Hotel collection, is a five-star resort in Tenerife known for its personalized service and high standards. Opened in December 2020, Royal River faced all the pressure of launching during a pandemic: unpredictable bookings, disrupted supply chains, and elevated guest expectations. But the real issue wasn’t outside. It was the system inside. There was untapped potential to boost consistency, improve communication, and enhance personalization. Infrasys POS made it possible, helping the team work faster, with fewer errors, and maintain their high standards behind the scenes.

Challenge

When all five F&B outlets were running at full speed, the old POS system couldn’t keep up. Communication gaps between floor and kitchen caused errors and slowed down staff performance.  

To meet their service goals, Royal River needed a POS that could:

  • Eliminate order errors, even at peak volume
  • Improve speed and accuracy for all service staff
  • Adapt to different venue formats and workflows
  • Provide data to confirm what was working and where to improve

Key results

With Shiji’s Infrasys POS, Royal River’s service operation was transformed almost instantly. The results are clear:

  • Zero order errors from day one.
  • Orders processed in under 15 seconds.
  • Staff onboarded twice as fast thanks to intuitive, easy-to-learn workflows.
  • Menus that adapt as chefs adjust special dishes or seasonal desserts based on what’s selling, what’s trending in guest reviews, or when ingredients run low.
  • Tailored service at scale, with staff instantly seeing notes like “nut allergy,” “gluten-free,” or “anniversary celebration” right on the POS screen, ensuring no surprise, substitution, or special moment gets missed.
  • More covers, same service at The Top, Royal River’s fine dining flagship, where the team now serves up to 20% more guests per night while still greeting diners by name, timing courses precisely, and maintaining the quiet, curated atmosphere that defines the experience.

Today, every ticket flows smoothly from server to kitchen. Whether it's rooftop fine dining or poolside snacks, service remains fast, accurate, and consistent.

“Infrasys has transformed daily operations by enabling a new level of personalized service that meets the expectations of today’s luxury travelers. The system empowers staff to anticipate guest needs and tailor every interaction, making service more intuitive, seamless, and rewarding for both guests and team members.”
— José Muiños, Director of Food and Beverage, Luxury Tenerife Hotels

Proof in the data: Reviewpro Reputation confirms the impact

Royal River didn’t just aim to improve service, it set out to prove it was working. And the numbers back it up.

Using Reviewpro Reputation data, the hotel tracked performance across key guest satisfaction metrics. The results confirm what guests have been saying all along: service is not only personal, it’s consistent, and it’s improving.

YoY results from January to June 2025

Royal River’s dedication to guest satisfaction is evident not only in its service delivery but also in its exceptional online reputation. The hotel consistently outperforms industry benchmarks, securing its place among the most highly rated luxury properties in Europe.

Year to date, Royal River has seen impressive performance across key Reviewpro Reputation metrics, with the following year-over-year (January–June) highlights standing out:

  • Global Review Index™
    94.8%: up +3.2 points compared to the same period in 2024.
    This is well above the European 5-star benchmark, which generally averages around 89–90%.
  • Semantic Analysis Score
    85.4%: +5.1 points from 80.3% in 2024
  • Management Response Rate
    95.4%: +4.6 points from 90.8% in 2024
    This exceptional response rate shows enhanced engagement, with Royal River far exceeding the European 5-star average (~70%).

“It’s not just about tracking scores, it’s about translating guest feedback into actionable insights that help us personalize every touchpoint.”
— Lydia Rodríguez, General Manager, Royal River Luxury Hotel Tenerife

Conclusion

By integrating Shiji’s Infrasys POS and Reviewpro Reputation, and embracing a data-driven, guest-centric strategy, Royal River has reinforced its position as one of Europe’s premier luxury resorts.

The results speak for themselves: zero order errors across five outlets, and consistently high guest satisfaction scores confirmed by Reviewpro Reputation data. With a team empowered by intuitive technology and the ability to personalize each touchpoint, Royal River shows how innovation can elevate hospitality, without losing the human touch.
