South Korea’s Jeju Dream Tower, Grand Hyatt, owned by Lotte Tour Development Company, is more than a hotel—it's an architectural phenomenon and the largest Hyatt hotel in the AsiaPacific region.
Opened in 2020 on Jeju Island, the property echoes the island's natural splendor, housing 1,600 rooms with stunning views of the city skyline and the surrounding ocean. Its 38-story layout also boasts 14 specialty restaurants and bars, a casino, an entertainment complex, and a unique Sky Garden on the top floor that offers panoramic vistas of Jeju Island.
A property as expansive and futuristic as the Jeju Dream Tower required technology that would support its extensive needs, and to understand how they planned and implemented this technology, we interviewed Jeju's Director of Information Technology, Rowena Koh, as well as members of the Shiji team to create this case study.
Rowena大学卒業後、コンピューター・プログラマーとしてキャリアをスタート。最初の仕事は、The Renaissance Hotel Seoul(韓国)の裏方業務用プログラムの開発でした。
Through this project, I was integrating multiple systems and processes: the general accounting management system, accounts payable, accounts receivable, the purchasing management system, the HR & payroll systems, and membership management system, Rowena told us. I learned a lot about hotel operations and became fascinated by the industry.
Jeju Dream Tower had many specific requirements, including the unique need for compliance with South Korea’s value-added network (VAN) service providers: KICC and KIC. These integrated payment solutions enable hotel operators and finance teams to better manage day to-day transactions and payment settling and reporting.
Through this, the Jeju Dream Tower team found that Shiji was not only flexible but also had a strong culture of client support. It had extensive experience in the local casino market, having completed many casino projects in Macau, Hong Kong, and Vietnam at properties such as Hoiana, Galaxy Macau, MGM Grand, and Sands Macao. In doing this, Shiji developed interfaces with casino management systems, which is not an easy task: casino management system interfaces typically take nearly a year to develop.
The casino is the main business of our company, and Bally is the global casino business solution that is critical for us, Rowena noted. We had to customize Bally to fit our operations and needs. The challenge was that few POS solutions could integrate with Bally, and of those, only Shiji’s Infrasys Cloud POS was flexible enough to customize to our requirements and integrate with Bally to the level that we needed.
On top of this, Shiji’s Infrasys Cloud POS enabled things such as the payment gateway, loyalty point management, table reservation management, KPC (package management), and food and beverage cost management that are crucial for supporting our business operations, she added.
Something else about Shiji that stood out was the flexibility of Infrasys Cloud POS to work with any hardware. By the time Jeju Dream Tower signed its contract with Shiji, it was for over a hundred licenses and required a significant amount of hardware. By taking advantage of Infrasys Cloud’s hardware-agnostic offering and working with the Shiji team on hardware testing and verification, the Jeju Dream Tower team could reduce high hardware shipping costs and import fees while still meeting performance requirements and Hyatt standards.
