How we compare tools

This page explains, in plain words, how the Hospitality Stack Team chooses which tools to list, how we compare them, and how money from sponsors and affiliate links is kept away from our verdicts.

How tools get listed

• We list software made for, or widely used by, hotels, restaurants and bars: tills (POS), staff scheduling, hotel front desk software (PMS), stock counting, reservations and more.
• Vendors can submit a tool for free. We also add tools we see teams asking about.
• A basic listing is free and is not an endorsement.

How we check facts

• Prices come from the vendor's own pricing page and are dated. If a vendor only gives quotes, we say “quote-only” instead of guessing.
• Features are checked on the vendor's official site or help docs. Comparisons list their sources.
• Facts change. If you spot something out of date, email [email protected] and we fix it.

How comparisons are written

• We pick head-to-heads people actually search for and ask about.
• Each comparison opens with a verdict, then who each tool is for, a feature table, sources and a FAQ.
• The verdict is based on price, fit for the type and size of business, and contract terms, not on who pays us.

Sponsored spots and affiliate links

• Featured placements are paid and always labeled “Sponsored”. They can change where a listing shows up, never what we say about it.
• Some links are affiliate or referral links (including some “Book a demo” buttons, marked as paid links). We may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
• Verdicts and comparisons are never for sale.
