children email to be skipped
When checking in via Operator email for Children should be allowed to be skipped.
70 votesHello from the Mews product team and thank you for your suggestion! We can confirm that email is an optional field in Kiosk (formerly Operator) as well as during the Online Check-in. So guests are able to skip entering the email for any children in their group.

Allow guests to change their e-mail at the Kiosk
Like when our guests check-in online, it should be possible for our guests to change their e-mail doing check in at the Kiosk. We have a lot of guests who make their reservations through booking.com and then they don't get the chance to write their own e-mail address, because we already have the autogenerated one on their profile.

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.

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

Kiosk generic welcome message not suitable for gendered languages
As french grammar is very particular and the actual generic welcome message "bienvenue à/au" does not look appropriate, it would be perfect if the property could write the full welcome message.
20 votesHello from the Mews product team.
We are pleased to let you know that we have made changes to address the feedback shared where the Kiosk welcome message did not appropriately handle masculine and feminine hotel names in some languages.
Thank you again for sharing this feedback!

Custom agreement with property rules
Our property deals with people who smoke inside the hotel rooms. It doesn't matter that they don't smell cigarettes inside of the room, nor that there is no ashtray.
We used to require agreement with non-smoking policy on registration cards, however when the guest does check-in via Operator, it is not possible.
We wish to have a special screen, where the guest has to agree that there is a penalty in case of smoking inside of the room.
17 votesHello from the Mews product team. We are pleased to confirm that this change was previously released as part of the 'house rules' capability in the Kiosk.

Allocate the reservation to another room automatically if the room is not inspected
When I enter my last name and confirmation number and the room to which I am assigned is not ready, I get the error message that I should come back later. Better solution would be if the tablet can automatically reassign the guest into different room of the same space category, which is ready to be used.

Add more keyboard options for Kiosk
Merged with several similar requests:
- Different keyboard layouts (e.g. QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZU)
- Keyboard to support characters with accents
- Keyboard to support Japanese, Chinese and Korean
The keyboard layout is built in in the Mews Kiosk app.
Only Qwerty is used in the app. Allthough 85% of our customers are using Azerty.
I already contacted support for this problem and they confirmed that the only keyboard layout available is Qwerty.It should depend which language the customer choose, that changes the keyboard layout.
15 votesHello from the Mews product team. We are so pleased to let you know that we have now enabled the use of device native keyboards for Kiosk tablets. This means different keyboard formats and special characters are supported as part of your system keyboard capability. Thank you again for sharing your idea!

Hello,
thank all of you for picking up this topic – this feature has been released two weeks ago.
You can find this option in Settings > Stay > Operator configurations and “Options” section.
If you remove “Balance check enabled” tag, save and reboot tablet, all guests will be able to do checkin even with unpaid booking. And it doesn’t matter if credit card is attached to profile or not.
We are looking forward see your feedback on this and see, how we can improve this next time.

Mews Operator: All LEs
As guest fill in their registration card details using Mews Operator, they sometimes have fields listed that may not be legally required. So in order to simplify this process for as many guests as possible, registration card requirements could be based on each property's legal environment, which eliminates all unnecessary information so that guests can complete check-in and relax.

Allowing a screensaver mode with different pictures
If the same "image" is on the screen for too long it will eventually burn in to the screen an ruin it. therefore a screensaver mode for the operater will help a lot. At the moment it bypasses the screensaver mode set in android.

Prevent second signature from online checked in guests (Kiosk)
When a guest check in already only he still needs to sign again when using the Kiosk Check in at the property. If the guest already signed during online check in he should not be forced to sign again at the property.
8 votesThank you for raising this. This has been resolved in the latest versions of the Kiosk. Now, guest's who completed online check in are not asked to sign again at the Kiosk.

Security for key creation
At the moment guests have the possibility to create a new key via the Operator. However, it would be welcomed to add extra security to this process and ask the guest e.g. to confirm his/her identity via passport/ID scanner or to confirm one of the filled out profile details just like it would happen at a manned reception desk prior to creating a new/additional key.
7 votesThank you for the suggestion. The Kiosk now requires a guest to enter their last name and confirmation number if they are re-creating keys for an already checked in reservation.
