Why businesses switch from Mews to Kotao
A real POS, not an afterthought
Mews POS is a basic add-on. Kotao's POS has full table management, KDS, coursing, and split bills. Built for serious F&B operations.
Built-in HR, CMS, and forms
Mews relies on marketplace integrations for HR, websites, and forms. Kotao includes them natively. No extra vendors needed.
Simple, predictable pricing
Mews charges per room plus add-ons. Kotao offers a flat monthly rate with everything included. No per-room surprises.
Perfect for restaurants too
Mews is hotel-first. If you're a restaurant group or mixed-use property, Kotao gives you both worlds equally.
