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.

Optional to fill out "Identity document"
It is not mandatory for many countries to have guests fill out "Identity documents". This is also the case for our hotel in Norway.
Plus we want to make it as easy and fast as possible for our guests to complete the online check-in.
Would therefore appreciate if it could be optional to fill out "Identity document" in the online check-in.
5 votesHi Mewsers!
Good news!
In Norwegian properties, Nordic nationals are no longer required to fill in Identity documents.We keep this required for the rest of the guests to comply with the Norwegian Immigration Regulations – https://www.regjeringen.no/globalassets/upload/jd/dokumenter/forskrifter/immigration-regulations.pdf.
Have a great day,

Install Mews Operator without keycutters
Many properties have chosen not to implement key encoders as part of their operations. However, as Mews Operator was created with the intention of complete self-service, key encoder details were required as part of the configuration. Now, Mews Operator no longer requires this as part of setup, meaning that any property can now implement Operator kiosks, with or without key encoders.

Change message is shows after Self Check in
It would be great if it would be possible to change the check in message manually:
After self check in the text shows:
„Don´t forget, your keys are on the reception“…
During Corona times many guest do not get their ke
ys at the reception. Thats why the hotel needs to change this message.4 votesHi Mewsers,

Check Out Kiosk
For Hotels/Hostels without reception it is necessary that the guest can check out at the kiosk - and pay the bill right there. The kiosk has an integrated Mews terminal, so the look and feel is exactly as it is at the online check out - just with the payment at the kiosk.
3 votesHello from the Mews product team. We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released. When completing their check-out, guests with outstanding balances can now pay their bills directly via a Mews terminal connected to the Kiosk. Thank you again for sharing your idea!

Make QR code of ANDROID phones also readable the Mews Kiosk
As it seems, the QR code is only readable from Ipones (IOS) and not readable on Androids at the moment. Since Android still has a huge marketshare, this would be a big improvement for guests and hosts.
3 votesHello from the Mews product team.
We have marked this request as ‘released’ as the Mews Kiosk can read QR codes from Android devices.

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…

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

check-out VCC
Regarding the contactless check-out: please make sure the guest do NOT have to pay for himself when booking va OTAs whenever the VCC details are not available / payment not taken as it does not make sense and create complains
3 votesHi Mewsers!
Thank you for your input. We have updated the online check-out flow for guests with remaining balance on VCC.Guests with remaining balance on virtual credit card AND items to be paid upon check-out won’t be able to pay during the online check-out and they will be send to reception.
They will still be able to review their bill in advance and add minibar items (if you have minibar) but they won’t be able to pay with their card, neither with VCC. Guests who has nothing to pay during online check-out can finish the online check-out even though their VCC is not fully charged.
We are closely monitoring the occurrence of cases who cannot proceed via flow. So far it’s very low (2 out of 500 people). In case the occurrence will increase we will come up with more comprehensive solution.
At the moment I suggest…

QR Code scanner
Customers already receive confirmation and online c-in emails.
There is a ID scanner in place, however it takes time for guests to put their name and booking ref number.
It will be very helpful if a guest can just present a QR code for their booking and the kiosk finds their booking and starts the c-in process.
This will also limit the errors when mistyping name/booking number and limit the customer "touch" interaction with the device for the current Covid environment.3 votesHello,
please, let me inform you that the QR code scanner is already available in our kiosk. It is on the Find your reservation screen – see the attached screenshot.
Best regards,

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,

Arrival and departure date to download onto online booking form
If the arrival and departure details can be downloaded onto the online form then this would suffice for an official registration form and would eliminate the need to print a registration form on guest checkin.
2 votesHi Mewsers!
Check-in can now be completely papereless. Guests can now sign digital registration cards in Navigator before arriving!Now, when guests check in online, they’ll provide all of their legally required info and their signature to create a digital registration card. Arrival and deprature date are the part of the registration card.
We’ll store the signed card on the customer profile in Mews in Files section. https://help.mews.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010283757

Date of birth filling by guest more intuitive and thus faster
Adding date of birth by a guest is not very intuitive at the moment. Almost every guest is taking quite some time to figure it out. So request to make this filling in more logical and intuitive.

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.

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,
