Reservation summary: rooming list improvements
As a group reservations agent I often handle requests for large group reservations of 50 + guests. Many of these request come from business, travel agents or private tour groups. I generally have a single point of contact from the time reservations are made to the final confirmation prior to arrival.
Between the booking and confirmation process I often have to make several alterations to the reservation, which can consists of anything from adding/ removing guests to moving guests to different rooms.

USA Legal Environment
Mews is used by properties worldwide, with each country belonging to a custom legal environment which is then tailored to their needs. Currently the legal environment for the United States has not yet been developed to optimize operations for properties in that location. The addition of this environment could therefore help make Mews available to more properties in the USA.
22 votesHi Team,
US Legal environment is here! Thanks to all of you for the feedback and hope to hear from you soon in some other great ideas!

Automatically add guest profile to new reservations or extensions
When you're creating a new reservation inside a guest reservation/group (extension) you'll have to add, again, the guest profile. It would be way easier and faster if the guest profile was added automatically by default.
21 votesHello Mewsers,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are happy to inform you that adding an additional reservation to a group from the group reservations screen will automatically populate the guest profile. All you will have to do from there is select room and rate!
We look forward to hearing your continued feedback.

Breakfast View
Make a view specially designed for the breakfast team.
They want to have a few with: guestname, roomnumber, how many persons. They want to track who came and who still need to have breakfast. So a simple checkbox in that list would do.
Also the day before a prediction for the amount of breakfast next day, that is easy to access for the breakfast team members.

check/select box to select only reservations on selected date range
It would be useful if a check / select box can be added next to an individual date range in a reservation rather than selecting/deselecting the whole reservation block with all the dates booked.
If one of the dates ranges room type need to changed for example I do not have to select it all one by one, time consuming if it is a group booking of 40 rooms per day19 votesYou’ve asked, and now it’s here!
Save time and clicks by selecting reservations from the correct stay period or state in just one click!

Stay restriction - CTA & CTD
As guests book close to holiday seasons, this can make operations difficult for your property when you may already be low on staff members. With the addition of close to arrival and close to departure restrictions, you can easily specify those dates when you'd like to restrict either check-ins or checkouts.

Tentative Reservation Status
Reservation is booked, but not taken from the availability.
18 votesHello Mewsers!
Thank you for your continued feedback and suggestions.
We are happy to inform you that tentative, or as we’ve called them “Inquired” reservations are available in Mews Commander.
You can create reservations with the Inquired state from the third step of the new reservations screen by selecting the “Status” dropdown and clicking “Inquiry”.
Inquired reservations do not take spaces out of inventory, you can, however update the status of the reservations to either optional, confirmed or cancelled. Updating the status of a reservation to confirmed or optional will assign a room for your chosen reservation.
In addition to the above inquired reservations can also be created with a release date.
Feel free to give this feature a try and let us know what you think.
Kind regards,

Net pricing support
Allow properties to display only net rate prices in their rate management screen, reservation creation screen in Commander, Distributor booking engine, etc. This is a global tax setting in the Mews Commander and gross rate prices will not be shown in most sections of the system. Taxes would be added on top of the net price at the time that the booking is created.

Mark whole room as dirty, as soon as one bed is dirty
Even if there is only a stayover in one bed of a dorm, the whole room should be marked as dirty the next morning, so that HK know they have to check it. So you don't risk to book guests into a dirty room

Increased quotas
Due to quotas, many properties must choose between their rates, groups, and products when transitioning to Mews. However, increasing the number of quotas system-wide could create speed problems for some properties when there is so much information to load. It is imperative that the system is internally optimized so that it can maintain fast loading speeds while still allowing for an increased number of options.
