Ability to delete bookable services
Currently, once created, bookable services can never be deleted. If you create some by accident you then have to live with them as they take up valuable up display real-estate (and increase the time it takes to figure out what to click on).
Please introduce the option to delete those (either from the property or from the support level).
11 votesHello, we are happy to inform you we have enabled service deletion in Mews.
Bookable services can be now deleted if there is no space category or space feature or reservation linked to them.
Best regards,

Rename a bill preview
For paymaster accounts we organize the receivable invoices per month or prepare a group of bill for a special wire transfer amount. Having the option of renaming a bill preview will be very useful when we transfer a receivable invoice from a customer profile to the paymaster account. We won't confuse about the right bill preview to transfer anymore.

Add room number to the task list
It would be very nice to see the room number of the guest in the tasks list in the Mews Commander and the mews commander app.
If the housekeeping is using only the app, they can't see the reservation and therefore the room number.77 votesHello from the Mews product team,
We are very happy to announce that we have added reservation details in the task section of the Mews mobile app!
You will now be able to view reservation details, as well as the room number of a reservation if there are tasks attached.
Selecting the room number will take you directly to the space where the reservation is currently assigned.
You can learn more about this new feature on our release notes page:

Origin for Walk in
Due to the actual situation we have a high interest in walk in numbers. At the moment there is possibility to get a walk in figure. It can be only assumed reservations for the same day are walk ins, but its not clear at all. Therefore we request a walk in origin code which can be much better tracked.
24 votesHello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion. You are already able to select ‘In person’ from the origin dropdown to collect this information and report on it.

Ability to Assign Filtered Spaces to Housekeeper that has not been assigned - Assign from Space Status Screen - Reset Room Assignee each day
Currently in Mews, if you assign filtered spaces in the room assignment screen example Dirty, first floor, then select the housekeeper and select all rooms, the complete list of rooms of the first floor appears. You select the rooms you with to assign to this housekeeper, click Assign. Then you want to assign the next Housekeeper to the remaining rooms and follow the same process. However, when you choose spaces, the complete list of spaces (example Dirty, first floor) reappears and you have to remember which rooms you have already assigned or you may accidentally override the assignments already given.…

Billing Tab - Show Rates vs Tax Breakdown
It would be really helpful if, on the billing tab, you can include the rate vs tax breakdown when we expand a billing item. It is causing our staff to be confused when posting adjustments and we are, as a result, paying close to $1000 in taxes more than what we collect for most of our properties.

Favorite Reports in Mews
Would like the ability to save favorite reports in Mews rather than have to reset the filters each time. We can save this for export, but if I only wish to view the report, I must reset the filters each time and remember the previous setting used. This is cumbersome and prone to mistakes.
If there was a favorite report section under the burger menu, it would be easy to access specific areas in Mews to display reports that are frequently used. These can be exported or printed, but in most cases, just need to be able to save the…
2 votesHi Robert,
Thank you for the feedback.
It is currently possible to view your favorite reports with the filters preselected by using custom links. You can set this up by:
1. Opening a report in Mews > select the filters you require.
2. Click “View” to apply the filters.
3. Copy the URL and paste it in as a custom link.
4. Save your custom link and refresh the page
5. You will now be able to access the report with pre-selected filters by opening the burger menu > select custom links > select the custom link you have createdIt is also possible to access the custom links using a keyboard shortcut. You can learn more about both in the guide linked below:

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.

notes
Notes in reservations is now a small box with just 3 lines visible. We need to adjust the size of the box or else we lose time scrolling down and looking the text.

the system is ridiculously slow!
it is actually unworkable as it will try to update for at least 2 minutes (no exaggeration!)
it does it for as good as all the actions you and you basically need to open a new mews session (or risk that you forgot what you were about to do in the first place)2 votesHi Simone,
We are happy to inform you that we have resolved the performance issues for the system.
You and your team should be able to run Mews at an improved speed. Should you continue to experience performance issues, please do let us know.

Consumption date for "Once" products
Consumption date of once products is not shown on the Guest in house report. This report is used by the F&B team to determine whether a specific guest has purchased breakfast or not on a particular day. Product report does not show room numbers and therefore cannot be used when guests come to the restaurant.
Please add the consumption date of "Once" products so it can be easily visible on a single report without needing to add notes.
133 votesHi Mewsers!
We are very happy to inform you that we have officially released a new filter in the Guest in house report, that will allow you to view products consumed during the report’s selected interval.
We hope this update will help your teams handle the morning breakfast rush a little easier.

Remove payment button for Unassigned in Billing screen
Please remove the option to charge the customer card against all items under Unassigned.
This is causing operational problems, because is much easier to charge fully for current and future stays all together by mistake or while in a rush. The only way to prevent wrong charging is to manually move the charges to a New Bill.
This is a technical disadvantage.Old billings screen was able to prevent this as products for future reservations were kept on the left hand side. There was no option to collect payment against them.

Commander Touchscreen Sensitivity on iPad Results in Wrong Input
When using Commander on an iPad, when selecting links such as under Finance, Reports and Reservations the links are very close together and when touched, there is no response or incorrect input as your finger may accidentally touch the wrong link. You have to be careful where you touch. On a laptop or computer, there doesn't seem to be a problem but with a smaller screen there is a challenge. Maybe spacing these links slightly more apart or using a slightly larger font would help in accidental input.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are very happy to inform you that Mews is not more responsive on all mobile devices including iPads!

To move current stay-overs to a different room
How is is not possible to move guests to another room, without making a new reservation or splitting a reservation. Too much work in to a simple action. Too much work where is no extra time for these trying times with too little employees.
2 votesHello Sjoerd,
Thank you for contacting the Mews Product team.
We currently offer several ways to move reservations including dragging and dropping reservations to another room from the timeline, as well as the ability to move reservations to another space from the status tab of the reservation screen or to a different space category from the properties tab on the reservations screen.
Below you will find a guide that will walk you through each of the options offered. Should you have any additional questions, please contact our support team.

task field
Is it possible to make the task field in MEWS bigger again so that you can drag the field to write info in it?
Before the update, you could drag the "Description" window larger using the arrows at the bottom right.

New Billing Adjustment
I don't mind the new billing screen, once you get used to it, it is quite easy to use.
One thing I would suggest is that in the new billing screen, we move a lot of items to Paymasters and we now can't see which item belongs to which guestIt used to show as:
Stay 1129 (Jane Smith, 1/12/2020-2/12/2020, Standard Room, 16) - $150Now shows as:
Past, 1/12/2020-2/12/2020 - 1129 x1 - $15011 votesHello Madelaine,
We apologies for the delayed response. However, we are happy to inform you that the functionality that you requested has been released.
You are currently able to see the name of a the original guest who owned a bill before it was moved to a paymaster account.
We hope this update will be helpful for your day to day tasks.
Kind regards,

Overbooking Filter to Reservation Report
please add an overbooking filter in the reservation report. So you can find these unallocated bookings easier and quicker
2 votesHi 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:
