Make 'email' a mandatory field in registration form
Set the “email” field of a booking as mandatory in the customer profile. This information is extremely important in terms of customer interaction. Moreover a customer will be more willing to change an email address created by Booking or Expedia into its own personal email address.
11 votesHi,
I'm Olivia from the Product team at Mews.
We already have a functionality in place to collect "real" email addresses from guests who have booked through an OTA, as part of the online check-in flow.
I would recommend to check the following article in our Help Centre for more details: "Obtaining verified guest email addresses from Online Travel Agency bookings during online check-in".
Thank you for your feedback!

Possibility to customize time to send Online checkout email
Online check-out rules to be changed to allow higher adoption rates:
- Allow hotels to set time for 'online check-out invitation' email
Currently online check-out is sent at 17h00 on the day before check-out. Guests arriving after 17h00 (majority in many corporate destinations) and only staying 1 night don't receive the email invite due to this fixed time
- Allow guest profiles with "company" attached to their profile to check-out online. Currently not possible according to your team due to strict taxation rules? I don't see why this should be a problem. And it's specifically "corporate guests" who want to avoid lines…

Make it clear that guests can re-cut keys from Kiosk
I think it would be ideal (and something seen in many other kiosks) that a in-house guest could recut his/her key in the kiosk if they have lost it. This would mean that the kiosk have three function 1. Check in 2. Check out 3. recut keys if lost. Thanks

ID Scanning in Mews + Kiosk-App
The software in Mews that reads ID data works much better than the one that does the same work in the kiosk app. In the kiosk app you have to enter some of the data manually, which is not necessary when scanning ID in Mews. The only problem with scanning the ID in Mews is that the system cannot find the camera it needs right away.

Online check-out emails to be sent at customised time
Online check-out emails are currently sent at 5pm day before arrival. For properties with high focus on a relaxed luxury experience this has caused negative guest reactions. Ex a guests checks-in at 4.30pm, for a 1 night getaway and on their way to the spa 30min later they get a an email prompting online check-out. Whilst it may seem efficient it might not be a relaxing guest experience. In addition, properties with a high capture rate for dinner would not want to push their guest to take actions before dinner charges has been added to the bill. The ability to…

Loyalty Programs - Add A Dedicated Section in Profile For Loyalty Program/s, Membership Levels, Colour-Coded Button & Hoverable Benefits
Under Internals there is currently only one Classification to select and that is 'Loyalty program'.
This is too generic, and doesn't indicate which program the member belongs to (Accor has three distinct loyalty programs) as well as which membership tier or level the guest is currently at (are they entry-level or a mega VIP platinum or diamond member)?
I would like to recommend that on the Profile screen that Files and Merge be moved down and a dedicated section for Loyalty be added, that can be fully customisable to the hotel's needs. This way we can have all programs and…

customer added email selection
Currently customer added email can be disabled only in GA, for all guest. If a property is using a third party integration for guest journey (for certain guests), it would create duplicate emails and guest will receive too many mails.
Would it be feasible to decide for each reservation if customer added email should be sent?3 votesThe customer added email is no longer sent to Guests

digital signature for registration cards
Digital signature for registration cards in the main Mews system.
Kiosks or pre-arrival is great, but this feature is really needed in all devices. Our teams are equipped with ipads and MS Surface laptops. For them not having this feature and having to drag the guest to the kiosk does not gives the right impression. Especially for guests who failed to check in at kiosk for whatever reason.

Payment link
It would be very helpful if there would be a feature where the guests get a reminder on the day of their departure or the evening before with all extras or other services that still have to be paid. Then a button could be created on which the guests click and enter their payment information and thus pay all outstanding amounts and this would then have to be imported directly into the PMS via a two-way interface.

this is part of Online Check out functionality which we alrleady provide.

Overbooking Filter to Reservation Report
please add an overbooking filter in the reservation report. So you can find these unallocated bookings easier and quicker
1 voteHi Nick,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Did you know that because overbooking’s have not been allocated to a specific space you can find them in the reservations report by grouping by space?
There is a recorded overview of exactly how you can use this functionality in the link below:

SC Number in Company Profile
At the moment the SC number is posted at the IATA field which is incorrect.
Please create a new field for the SC number and include it into the reporting.The SC number is the international ID for companies within Accor and helps to ensure to have the correct company profile selected.
This "little" change would effect allot and would be highly appreciated not only from MOA Berlin but all Accor hotels using MEWS worldwide.
Thank you in advance.

Wrong Translations Begleiter
Hello,
the name "begleiter" is a confusing translation. It should actually be called guest name!!! In addition, the name (Kunde) customer is sometimes confused with campanion ("begleiter").
Under group details all "guest"/ companion names" are listed. But above it sais "Customer/Kunde".
Underneath all rooms are listed, but with the name of the customer not with the actual guest names..
it is very confusing.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Enable Kiosk to scan IDs + Driver's Licenses in US + Canada
99% of guests in the US and Canada do not travel with their passport. Therefore Mews ID scanner doesn't work in this region. Properties are looking for ways to automate their check-in and checking ID/Driver's License is absolutely crucial.
Scanning IDs and DLs is a needed feature in North America.
Properties should also be able to make this a mandatory step if a guest wants to check in on a kiosk.

DRIVE SALES: Google Ads Conversion Tracking
On Google's paid networks: Search, Display and YouTube and I want to track conversions (e.g., which ads convert into confirmed bookings).
A better approach to tags is allowing placement of Google Ads' conversion tracking code directly into Mews: 1) Booking confirmation page, and 2) Newsletter sign-up confirmation page.
Beyond sales, tracking conversions for newsletter sign up is necessary too. For example, I can predict how much it will cost me to generate X amount of newsletter sign-ups with enough historical data. If my historical average is $3 per newsletter sign-up over 12 months, I know it will cost me about $1,000 to…
2 votesHello from the Mews product team,
Thank you for your suggestion, Google Ads conversion tracking can be enabled through Google Tag Manager.
You can install conversion tracking tag by following this guide: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6095821?hl=en
(“Option 2: Use Google Tag Manager” section)Read how to enable Google Tag manager for your Mews booking engine: https://mews-systems.gitbook.io/distributor-guide/distributor-widget/integrations
I hope that helps.

attach files to internals tab
We have long term residential guests who stay with us through a partner provider and who each sign a contract before they arrive - it would be great to be able to attach a copy of the contract to the guest profile so we can refer to it quickly and easily.

add language as field when exporting customer profiles to excel
When you export customer profiles to excel, the field 'language' is not added. So I need to filter on postal code to know which language the customer speaks. Which is totally incorrect.

QR code shouldn't be attached to confirmation email
Currently the QR code is automatically attached to confirmation email and cannot be removed. It's confusing for our guests as they don't know why we have this attachment on their confirmation email.
An hotel can prefer to communicate about their online check-in than checking in on a Kiosk. I would prefer if you could hotel choose.43 votesHi Mewsers!
You can now disable the QR code from all guest-facing emails through the Settings.To do so, please navigate to Settings > Services > Stay > Options and make sure that you don’t have “Enable QR code in emails” option selected.
If the option is disabled, placeholder in the body email is ignored and won’t be shown in the email body, neither the QR code attachment.

Online check-out for guests who are in a hurry
Hey, I was thinking it would be cool if there is an online check-out option for guests who are in a hurry- just in case the queue is longer at some times- they could check themselves out via the plattform with which they booked and put in the keycard in a machine (like a ticket machine). To avoid people leaving without paying open bills, the machine could decline the keycard with a loud noise and inform us at the reception. I know that this might seem too good to be true and not manageable but I have actually been to…
1 voteHi Mewsers,
we already offer the online check-out to guests who are in hurry and who want to skip the queue at the reception.Guests can do the online check-out from their phone, tablet, or laptop. In case there are some unpaid bills they are required to pay for them, they can add their billing details or claim items from minibar if your property have any.
https://help.mews.com/en/articles/4245851-what-is-online-check-outTry it out! Guests love it!
Check-out is also coming to the Operator, soon, so stay tuned! :-)Have a great day,

Bill Preview to (Property) Email
On the body of the email the guest receives, it would be good to change the signature line in the email. We would like to change “The Mews Team” to “AutoCamp Russian River”. Our guests don't know who "The Mews Team" is and it should default to the property name.
2 votesHi Robert,
thanks for your input. That makes sense! We put the property name to the signature. It should appear in production in the upcoming days.Have a great day,
