Hotel Restaurant Combo POS Setup

Updated: May 12, 2026


Key Points

  • Restaurant side: Can be handled with standard Shift4 Dine setup
  • Hotel side: Requires integration with Property Management System (PMS)
    • Hotel integrations don't integrate directly into Shift4 Dine
  • Setup approach: Restaurant and hotel systems need to be separated

Shift4 Dine to PMS Integration

Main functionality: Push transactions from Shift4 Dine to PMS with room number for charging to guest rooms

Configuration Requirements

Before setup, contact account RM with:

  • Shift4 MID
  • PMS Property ID
  • Property Name
  • PMS Provider Name (e.g., Opera, eZee)

After Shift4 configuration:

  • Add PMS tender type via Manager → Settings → Payments in Shift4 Dine
  • Configure with special PMS posting setting and required reference text for guest identification

Features & Capabilities

  • Room charging: Charge to room number or guest names
  • Room verification: Optional server room check that imports customer name for verification and attaches room number to ticket

Limitations

  • Tips: Must be entered manually during payment
  • Refunds: Partial refunds not possible - entire transaction must be refunded (ticket can be re-entered with refund and charged back to room)
