Frequently Asked Questions

How do I integrate POS with my hotel PMS?

Most major PMS systems (Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews) integrate with common POS systems via API. Room charges post automatically to guest folios. Check your PMS for supported integrations before choosing a POS.

Should hotel restaurants use the same POS as front desk?

Usually no. Front desk uses PMS for check-in/out and payments. Restaurant needs dedicated restaurant POS (Toast, Square for Restaurants) that integrates with PMS for room charges.
