Choosing a hotel POS system is critical to streamlining your restaurant, bar, or F&B operations. Mews POS by Mews stands out with a proven track record, extensive reviews, and a comprehensive feature set, while Skytab by skytab lacks review data and regional presence to date. Both aim to improve operational efficiency, but only one has demonstrated consistent hotelier satisfaction. Are you ready to rely on a solution with real-world backing?
Mews POS addresses a key hotel challenge: integrating point-of-sale data directly into your property management system (PMS), reducing manual errors and operational friction. Skytab offers a POS for hospitality but has no verified reviews, feature list, or regional presence, making it impossible to assess its suitability. Mews’s extensive review base highlights its ease of use, integration, and support, while Skytab’s lack of feedback keeps its capabilities uncertain. Which system aligns better with your hotel’s needs?
If your hotel needs a mature, well-reviewed POS that integrates flawlessly with your PMS and offers detailed operational insights, Mews POS is the clear choice. Its 156 recent reviews and high ratings—4.74/5 for ease of use, 4.43/5 for support—demonstrate consistent satisfaction. Conversely, Skytab has no reviews, no regional presence, and no listed features, making it a risky choice for hotels seeking proven technology. For hotels prioritizing reliability and proven results, Mews is the superior pick.
Mews POS’s user interface scores 4.74/5, with reviews praising its intuitive design and cross-device flexibility—whether staff are at the front desk, in the kitchen, or on the go. Implementation reviews describe a smooth onboarding process with clear support and training. Skytab provides no published usability data or reviews, making it impossible to compare. Given the high ratings and recent positive feedback, Edge: Mews POS.
Mews POS boasts 29 unique features, including PCI compliance, digital menus, advanced ordering, self-service table-side ordering, inventory and ingredient management, recipe costing, and extensive reporting. Skytab offers no documented features, integrations, or unique capabilities, leaving its functionality unverified. Mews’s feature depth supports diverse restaurant and F&B needs within hotels. Edge: Mews POS.
Mews support scores 4.43/5, with reviews highlighting reliable, solution-oriented assistance and a smooth onboarding experience rated at 4.39/5. Customers remark that support is responsive, and onboarding helps staff adapt quickly. Skytab provides no support or onboarding ratings or feedback, making it impossible to gauge post-sales service quality. For dependable support, Edge: Mews POS.
Mews integrates with over 336 verified partners, including popular systems like Criton, Right Revenue, Sage, and Orange Hotel Marketing. Skytab’s integrations are unlisted, and no verified partner count exists. The extensive integration ecosystem of Mews enables seamless operation across your hotel’s tech stack. Edge: Mews POS.
Mews’s reviews, from hotel segments like boutique, city center, and resorts, are recent and overwhelmingly positive, with a 9.32/10 NPS score and a 95% likelihood to recommend. Skytab has no reviews or ratings, making it impossible to gauge hotelier satisfaction. Based on available data, Mews’s rating dominance clearly favors it for hotel use. Edge: Mews POS.
Mews charges a base fee of $200 per month, with no trial or implementation fees, and no mention of additional costs. Skytab’s pricing is not publicly available, and no trial info is provided. This transparency favors Mews, which offers a predictable, straightforward pricing model. For budget clarity, Edge: Mews POS.
Not ideal if your hotel prefers a basic, standalone POS without broader hotel system integration or if you require a solution with no existing customer base.
Not ideal if you want a trusted, well-reviewed system or features like inventory management, reporting, or multiple integrations.
Mews POS is a well-established hotel POS system with a rich review history, a broad feature set, and extensive integrations, making it a reliable choice for hotels. It simplifies F&B operations, enhances guest experiences, and supports scalable growth, backed by hundreds of recent reviews and high satisfaction ratings. Skytab, lacking reviews, features, and regional presence, cannot confidently serve hotels seeking proven technology.
Choose Mews POS if you need a system with a track record, comprehensive capabilities, and support. If your hotel is experimental or small, and willing to accept higher risk, Skytab might be worth exploring—though the absence of reviews is a significant concern. For long-term operational success, Mews POS remains the clear leader.

How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing?
