**The problem it solves** Hotels and short-stay properties run on legacy on-premises PMS software that cannot handle automated payments, real-time availability, or flexible check-in and checkout without heavy manual work, leaving front-desk staff tied to routine tasks instead of guests. **What Mews does** Mews is a cloud-native hospitality platform, founded in Prague in 2012 by Richard Valtr and led by CEO Matthijs Welle, now headquartered in Amsterdam. It positions itself as an operating system for hospitality and serves thousands of properties across 85+ countries, from boutique hotels and hostels to serviced apartments and multi-property groups. **How it works** The platform covers the full operations stack: a cloud PMS handles reservations, housekeeping, upsells and guest self check-in; embedded Mews Payments manages tokenization, automated reconciliation and multi-currency terminals; a POS module serves hotel restaurants and retail; an integrated channel manager distributes to OTAs and metasearch; and a revenue management system (Mews RMS, powered by Atomize) provides AI dynamic pricing and demand forecasting. The Mews Marketplace connects to more than 1,000 third-party apps through an open, API-first platform, and pricing is per unit or room on a subscription basis. **Who it's for** Independent hotels, hostels, serviced apartments and multi-property groups, primarily across Europe and North America, seeking a modern, API-first PMS to replace legacy on-premises systems.
