In Austria the registration law wants the adress, id ccard and signature from the main Traveller and the name and date of birth of the fellow passengers. Mews prints and want all the data of each guest. Better would be also for the digital path that the main traveller has the oppurtunity to fill in the data from his self and also int the same form off his fellow travellers

business problem
Classification in internals is not made for hotel operation. Most of the options are not used, redundant, not clear or just missing. It is difficult to have a clear picture of what the guest really like or want.
The unique long alphabetic ordered list make it difficult to navigate through it. If options would be added to complete the list, it will be even more difficult to go through.

expected outcomes
help hotels better categorise their guest preferences to improve communication with the guest, and marketing efforts.

It will be easy for us to spit nights, products or elements if we have two guests in one room and they wanted to devide the final bill.

Guests often abort the Online CI at the credit card entry field, but complete the guest registration process. A completed guest registration should somehow be marked in MEWS as it saves time for the receptionist and creates a better guest experience.

Possible solutions:
Header text: must be checked in - Completed guest registration - Checked in Online
Icon somewhere in the reservations of the arrival field
When printing out guest registration cards, replace those of the guests that already completed the form with the actual completed PDF. (prefered solution)

Allow the Emails queue to be accessed also by non-admin users (or at least to give the option to allow this or not)

If rooms are checked in, the status of the room can still be set to inspected.
We think it would be useful that the room status in that case can only be set to clean and not inspected.
Otherwise, the room will be available for self-check-in at the Mews Kiosk.
Only in the last step - the key encoding - the guest is informed that Self-CI cannot be completed successfully.
Until then, however, the guest is informed that check-in would be possible, including charging of his credit card.

When adding rooms in a roomblock, having the ability to overbook when you do not have enough rooms available.

It will be great to have the opportunity to see all the changes made on all the customer profil, more particulary if a classification has been modified or take off. We have the opportunity to see it on a specific custumer profil, but we need to see all in the action log from the dashbord.

Email sent to be logged in the action log in order to give a quick overview of the guest email communication, in addition a link to the mail queue link so the employee could easily access the email. If non admin users could have access to mail queue as a separate work privilege it would enhance the user experience for this suggestion

It will be great if the search bar can provide more results, like the proforma invoices

Currently guests checked-in with 0 balance show on the accounting ledger under 'to be resolved', this is creating so much extra work to check each individual reservation when no infact no action is required.
These reservations should fall under 'in house' section in the accounting ledger while they are checked-in and 'to be resolved' after the check-out date.

If a guest arrives but their room is not ready, could we possibly have a flag or change of colour to show that they're waiting for their room. This way when the room is ready we can let the guest know asap.

often get the request for EMS & PMS in one. (all in one)

We need a group overview where we can see upcoming groups (groups in our case means minimum 10 rooms or more per booking).
Just an easy overview of all the group (not individual booking) maybe a month ahead. It could be in a report or by similar to timeline.
The headline per group should be the travel agency name or company name.

When viewing the timeline availability blocks are not visible, it would be good to be able to see availability blocks on the timeline.

When the team look at the timeline it is misleading regarding availability if large availability blocks are in place.

It will be great to have the opportunity to have two differents VAT at 10%. One for food and one for accomodation.

Pourvoir définir qu'un check-in ne peut pas avoir lieu avant un certain délai suite à un check-out.
Ce délai peut-être pour certaines catégories de logement ou juste pour certains jours de la semaine.

Par exemple:
nous n'avons pas d'équipe de ménage un we, donc interdire les réservations avec une arrivée le dimanche si un départ est prévu le samedi.
Et inversement, une arrivée est prévue un dimanche, la chambre ne pourra pas se vendre si le check-out de la nouvelle réservation est la veille.

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.

It would be great to have the option of having multiple emails with the account. Some people would like different charges invoiced to different emails (i.e. business card is only paying the room therefore that invoice goes to that email, and a personal email for all other expenses).

Also another reason is husband and wife might want the invoice sent directly to there email
