Your PMS and POS are bleeding the same wound.
Hotel PMS and restaurant POS software charge rent every month for systems that sit on a till. Self-hosted property management (Nextcloud + Odoo Hotel), POS (Openbravo, uniCenta), and guest messaging run full-service operations at a fraction of the cost.

Where the hospitality bleed starts
Three things we hear on every hospitality discovery call.
PMS + channel manager double-dipping
Your PMS charges per room, your channel manager charges per listing, your booking engine takes a cut. Three subscriptions for one reservation.
POS licence per till, per month
Four tills times R1k per month is R48k per year per restaurant. Self-hosted uniCenta or Openbravo POS costs a server, runs on any hardware.
Guest data scattered across foreign vendors
Booking.com, Expedia, your PMS, your CRM — all holding slices of guest info outside SA. POPIA gets ugly fast.
