MyCheck is a payment technology platform for the hospitality industry, now operating as a Shiji Group brand, that provides secure, seamless digital solutions for hotels and restaurants to enhance guest engagement from check-in to checkout.[1][2][4] It offers products like One-Click Payment, Digital Check-In/Out, mobile ordering, loyalty rewards, and integrations with partners such as Wyndham, Radisson, Red Lion, Hyatt, and InterContinental Hotels, solving pain points in guest payments, navigation, and personalized experiences while ensuring compliance with evolving standards.[1][2][4] With around 50 employees, $18.7 million in revenue, and a history of acquisitions boosting its scale, MyCheck has grown into a key player equipping hospitality brands with customizable digital tools amid rising demand for contactless services.[1][3][4]
Founded in 2011 by Shlomit Kugler, Erez Spatz, Tal Zvi Nathanel, and Asaf Wertheimer in New York, MyCheck started as a consumer-facing app for guest navigation and simple payments, evolving from a digital wallet concept.[1][3] Early traction included a 2012 marketing campaign with investor Bar Refaeli and $5.9M in total funding, followed by a $20M raise in 2015 that shifted focus from B2C to B2B platforms for hotels and restaurants.[3] Pivotal moments came amid a 2017 cash flow crisis, leading to acquisition in March 2018 by O.G. Tech (Eyal Ofer's VC fund), and resale in May 2019 to China's Shiji Group, which retained founders Kugler as CEO and Spatz as VP of Technology to leverage their expertise in hospitality tech.[2][3]
MyCheck rides the wave of digital transformation in hospitality, accelerated by post-pandemic demands for contactless payments, personalized guest apps, and integrated ecosystems amid labor shortages and rising mobile adoption.[1][2] Its timing aligns with market forces like cloud-based platforms and cross-border integrations (e.g., Alibaba ties via Shiji), enabling hotels to shift from fragmented systems to unified data flows that boost revenue through upsells and loyalty.[2][4] By influencing the ecosystem through partnerships with global chains, MyCheck standardizes digital guest experiences, fostering vertical integration from booking to dining and supporting hospitality's pivot to tech-driven efficiency.[2][4]
MyCheck is poised for expansion within Shiji's portfolio, likely deepening AI-enhanced personalization, global payment rails, and retail-hospitality hybrids as trends like embedded finance and sustainable travel tech intensify.[2][4] With Shiji's resources, expect more acquisitions or platform enhancements to capture market share in emerging regions, evolving its role from payment provider to full ecosystem orchestrator—building on its acquisition-fueled growth to redefine hospitality's digital frontier.[1][3]
