EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H. offers EDER EDV GKS, a Ground Control Software primarily focused on centralized IT management, network monitoring, and operational oversight. It aims at optimizing IT infrastructure rather than delivering a dedicated hotel POS solution. Conversely, Mews POS is a hotel-specific, purpose-built point-of-sale system designed to integrate tightly with property management systems (PMS) and streamline hotel restaurant operations.
Both products address operational efficiency but in fundamentally different ways: EDER EDV GKS targets IT system management and uptime, while Mews POS focuses on guest-facing restaurant workflows, transaction processing, and inventory control. Hotels seeking a comprehensive POS with hotel-specific features and integrations will find Mews POS the clear option, while EDER EDV GKS does not currently offer POS capabilities or hotel-centric functionality.
If your property requires a modern, cloud-native hotel POS system that integrates seamlessly with your PMS, supports multi-site food and beverage operations, and provides features such as digital ordering, inventory management, and real-time reporting, Mews is the data-backed choice. Mews has 205 verified user reviews averaging 4.6/5 overall, with consistent recent reviews (38 in the last six months at 4.2/5), demonstrating current product reliability and satisfaction.
On the other hand, EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H. has no verified reviews, no published pricing, no hotel POS features, and zero integrations. It serves primarily as an IT operations tool without direct hotel POS functionality. Given this, there is no evidence to recommend EDER EDV GKS for any hotel segment or size. Hotels in any segment—from boutique to large branded chains—benefit from Mews’ proven feature set, integrations, and operational impact.
Mews scores 4.7/5 on ease of use and 4.4/5 on onboarding from 205 total reviews, including 38 recent ones. Reviewers highlight Mews’ clear interface, intuitive workflows, and rapid staff onboarding, even for teams with mixed experience levels. The e-learning platform supports structured, self-paced training, reducing time to proficiency.
No user reviews or ease-of-use data exist for EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H., preventing any direct comparison. The absence of reviews means there is no evidence of usability or onboarding effectiveness for EDER EDV GKS in a hotel POS context.
Edge: Even.
Mews POS delivers 29 hotel-specific POS features not found in EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H., which offers none in this category. Mews provides payment log reports, PCI compliance, discounts and promotions, upselling tools, check splitting, digital menus, advanced ordering with self-service table-side and mobile ordering, integrated kitchen displays, and inventory and ingredient management with stock alerts and recipe costing. Its reporting suite includes food cost, sales, menu performance, and employee reporting.
These features directly affect front desk, F&B management, and accounting workflows by automating billing, improving order accuracy, enabling flexible payments, and providing operational visibility crucial for managing food costs and staff productivity. EDER EDV GKS lacks any hotel POS features, making it unsuitable as a restaurant or point-of-sale tool for hotels.
Edge: Mews.
Mews holds a 4.4/5 rating for customer support and 4.4/5 for onboarding from 205 reviews. Reviewers praise the helpfulness and responsiveness of the support team, although some note that urgent issues may face delays and that AI-driven helpdesk bots reduce personal interaction. The support environment is generally positive, with a 93% likelihood to recommend.
There is no customer support or onboarding rating or review data available for EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H., so no direct comparison is possible. Lack of evidence prevents calling an edge.
Edge: Even.
Mews provides 352 verified integrations, including critical hotel tech partners such as Criton, Right Revenue, Sage, FLEXIPASS Keyless Mobile Access, and Orange Hotel Marketing. This extensive ecosystem allows hotels to connect PMS, POS, payments, marketing, and guest experience platforms, which supports operational scalability and customization.
EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H. has zero verified integrations. Hotels relying on connected ecosystems for payment processing, accounting, or guest services will find Mews’ integration network essential.
Edge: Mews.
Mews has 205 reviews averaging 4.6/5 overall, with 38 reviews in the last six months rating the product 4.2/5. Ratings by segment show strong satisfaction across boutique hotels (4.7/5, 97 reviews), city center hotels (4.7/5, 58 reviews), bed & breakfasts (4.7/5, 39 reviews), branded hotels (4.6/5, 48 reviews), and luxury hotels (4.7/5, 48 reviews). This broad adoption and consistent rating indicate Mews’ positive reception across hotel types.
EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H. has no reviews, which means no rating data exists to assess hotelier satisfaction or suitability.
Edge: Even.
EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H. does not publish pricing, does not offer trials, freemium options, or monthly pricing models, which limits transparency for buyers.
Mews POS lists a base price of $200.00 but does not publish per-room or flat monthly fees publicly. There are no implementation fees or trials. Pricing transparency and the lack of additional onboarding fees give Mews a clear advantage in cost predictability.
Not ideal if:
Not ideal if:
The core difference lies in product focus and hotel relevance. EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H. delivers IT systems management without hotel POS features, no verified user feedback, or integrations. Mews is a mature, hotel-centric POS platform with extensive features and a large, active user base providing consistent positive ratings.
Choose EDER EDV GKS only if your primary need is centralized IT operations management outside of guest services or restaurant workflows. It offers tools to optimize network systems and reduce downtime but does not address hotel POS requirements.
Choose Mews POS if your hotel depends on a modern, integrated POS solution that simplifies restaurant ordering, payments, inventory, and reporting while syncing tightly with the PMS. Mews’ 29 exclusive hotel POS features, 352 integrations, and 205 verified reviews demonstrate operational impact and user satisfaction across diverse hotel segments. This makes it the definitive choice for hotel POS needs.

A smaller but important group of reviews says Mews is still evolving and not every function is fully polished. Users generally see this as the tradeoff for a fast-moving cloud platform, but they also note occasional rough edges, lagging settings, and features that still need refinement.

Payment flow is a strong theme, with reviewers praising automated billing, seamless payments, and easier room charges. At the same time, many want more advanced invoicing options such as splitting items, splitting bills between guests, and making payment handling less complicated.

The HT Score is a composite ranking that considers 4 criteria groups and over a dozen variables to help hoteliers objectively compare hotel technology products. EDER EDV Organisations Ges.m.b.H. has an HT Score of 0 and Mews has 100. Here is how the score is calculated.
| Criteria Group | Weight | What It Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Customer Ratings & Reviews |
|
How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor. Analyzes average satisfaction ratings (likelihood to recommend, ease of use, support, ROI), total review count relative to category peers, review recency (at least 20 reviews in the trailing 6 months), and share of voice across unique hotel clients to detect selection bias. |
| Partner Ecosystem |
|
How highly do tech partners recommend this company? Partner Recommendations, Integration Quantity, Integration Quality ▾ Evaluates partner recommendations as expert votes of confidence, the number of verified integrations, and ecosystem quality — the average HT Scores of integration partners. Products with higher-quality integration ecosystems are more likely to deliver a connected tech stack. |
| Customer Centricity |
|
How customer-centric is this organization? Certified Support, Review Consistency, Profile Completeness ▾ Assesses whether the company has earned HTR Customer Support Certification, maintains consistent review collection over time (an indicator of feedback-driven culture), and keeps product profiles complete with capabilities, screenshots, pricing, and features. |
| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing? Geographic Reach, Staying Power, Company Resources, Trending Score ▾ Measures global presence (countries and regions served), years in business as a stability proxy, team headcount as a resource proxy, and a trending score based on trailing-twelve-month buyer inquiries, reviews, partner recommendations, and press activity. |
Customer ratings and reviews are by far the most important factor in the HT Score algorithm. HTR does not accept payment for higher rankings. All reviews are verified — only hotel industry practitioners with confirmed affiliations can submit ratings. View full HT Score methodology →
