mews vs Stayntouch

Mews vs Stayntouch: 
There's more to a great hotel than a great check-in

A great front desk experience means nothing if payments are reconciled manually, revenue management runs in a separate tool and non-room revenue isn't being captured. Mews fixes all of it.

Key Feature
Mews logo

StayNTouch

Centralized guest data

Data is tied to your guest’s profile, not just the reservation.

  • Every department works from the same guest profile, in real time.

  • Preferences, upsells and past follow the guest, not just the reservation.

Guest data starts with the reservation.

  • Personalization and guest engagement often rely on connected systems.

  • No native POS means dining and ancillary spend doesn’t feed back into the guest profile automatically.

Embedded payments

One card authorization covers payments across the entire stay.

  • One card authorization covers every charge across the stay – rooms, F&B, spa and parking included.

  • Fraud controls, pre-authorization and reconciliation all happen inside Mews.

Payment workflows depend on connected systems.

  • Integrated payment processing supported through payment partners.

  • Pay isn't included in the base PMS.

Integrations

More verified integrations than any other system, to extend what Mews does natively.
