e-mail templates per segment
At the moment the e-mails that are sent from the system are one size fits all. However, the tone of voice and info in e-mails towards guest differs per segment. It would be nice to set up different templates per segment.

Customized Mews Booking Engine - Click Logo to Return to Home Screen
When you are in the booking engine, the property logo appears at the top left. On most websites, when you select the logo it brings you back home. In the Mews Booking Engine it does nothing. There is an "X" Box at the far top right corner that accomplishes this but with some users the "X" may mean to close the window. It would be a nice feature to be able to click on the logo and return to the home screen where ever you are in the booking engine.

Confirmation letters
When sending a confirmation to a booker, the name of the guest does not appear on the confirmation letter but only the reservation number. This does not look professional at all and we receive many complaints by our guests. They feel like they are a number and not a guest.

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.

Online check-out emails to be sent at customised time
Online check-out emails are currently sent at 5pm day before arrival. For properties with high focus on a relaxed luxury experience this has caused negative guest reactions. Ex a guests checks-in at 4.30pm, for a 1 night getaway and on their way to the spa 30min later they get a an email prompting online check-out. Whilst it may seem efficient it might not be a relaxing guest experience. In addition, properties with a high capture rate for dinner would not want to push their guest to take actions before dinner charges has been added to the bill. The ability to…

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.

Create URL for Public Rates that displays the selected rate code only
When marketing sends out an email highlighting a specific rate plan, we want to be able to include a URL link that goes direct to that rate code only . IE: these are not private rates. Nor do we want to duplicate existing public rates. Plus once we send the link we want the intended rate plan to be the ONLY rate plan displayed in the booking engine. For example, if we want to send out a marketing email highlighting our for golf packages that are public. SO this idea goes hand in hand with "display voucher rate only" but…

Loyalty Programs - Add A Dedicated Section in Profile For Loyalty Program/s, Membership Levels, Colour-Coded Button & Hoverable Benefits
Under Internals there is currently only one Classification to select and that is 'Loyalty program'.
This is too generic, and doesn't indicate which program the member belongs to (Accor has three distinct loyalty programs) as well as which membership tier or level the guest is currently at (are they entry-level or a mega VIP platinum or diamond member)?
I would like to recommend that on the Profile screen that Files and Merge be moved down and a dedicated section for Loyalty be added, that can be fully customisable to the hotel's needs. This way we can have all programs and…

Customizable footer for the before start email
In the before start email the closing is not customizable. At the moment the closing is "Kind regards", which is pretty formal and not suitable for many brands. Therefore the introduction of an customizable footer would be great.

Product Report - Filter based on Product category
In case you use for example more F&B splits (e.g. breakfast), the product report is hard to use. You need to choose from products all relevant breakfast types and afterwards count them manually together. If you could filter based on product category (product category Breakfast under which e.g. breakfast complimentary, small € breakfast, big €€ breakfast would be gathered) you would have all visible on one sight.

Kiosk App Update Timing
Update Timing Kiosk App: it would be very helpful to have a way of being able to determine the period in which the kiosk app receives its update? Since we have been using the app, it has repeatedly happened that the app receives an update just when guests have arrived and are waiting to be checked in. The update takes time which the guests do not have. So maybe it would be an idea to design it so that we as users of the app can decide when to download the current update - after we have received a message…

postal code
In France, it is now mandatory to give the postal code of the guest when you want to close the bill. So it would be very convenient to make it mandatory when the customer makes the reservation. Or to leave us the choice to add it as a mandatory information or not.

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…

Selecting Add on Product Early Check-in or Late Checkout Changes the Arrival or Departure Time
When selecting an early check-in or late check-out product, it would be good if the system could change either the arrival time or departure time to make the product selected. This would save time and notify us when the guest is arriving earlier rather that search to see who purchased the early arrival product.

Promotional Code Verification
Show the guest that their promotional code had worked right when they put it in the booking engine
The guest enters the promotion code, then the next page, they are choosing a category, but it doesn’t show the promotional rate until the following page.
If the promotional rate didn’t work, the guest wouldn’t know. When the guest puts in the promotional code - there should be something that indicates, "this worked!"1 voteHello from the Mews product team.
