Customizable Kiosk Check-in Requirements
It would be great to be able to customize the requirements for a Kiosk Check. This would allow us to collect information that is not part of any legal environment based on our location.
Right now we ask guests to utilize the kiosk but when it cannot collect all the information we need for a check in it sits unused.

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.

Create Bookings on Kiosk (Walk-ins)
Currently, the Mews Kiosk requires that you have a reservation to be able to check-in. It would be great if we had the ability to allow the guest to actually process a walk-in guest saving the front desk time. This would require preauthorization for US clients or an option to pay in full at time of walk-in.

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.

Receive Notification about Mews Kiosk Check-Ins
When a guest checks in via MEWS Kiosk we do not receive any information (mail?) about the check in. During the CI process a registration form is filled out and signed with all the necessary data for the registration to the city. All Registration forms of each day are digitally collected. Due to the CI via Kiosk it is hard for our receptionists to keep track of all the registration forms and collect them daily.

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!

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

Show the amount of the open balance in Operator
Our front desk uses Operator when it's busy. It would be great if we don't need to double-check the open balance on the computer

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!
