Es wäre super, wenn es eine automatisierte Warteliste gibt.
Gäste fragen für Zeiträume an, die schon ausgebucht sind. Sinnvoll wäre es, wenn es in mews eine Warteliste gibt, wo man diese Gäste einträgt und sollte ein ZImmer storniert werden dann schickt Mews automatisch an den Gast aus der Warteliste ein Angebot zu.

It is exactly what I was thinking, better than I was think on it

Would love this feature for our organization to handle dates with a high demand.

When you have a full date and it is in high demand, you can add a waiting list so that in case of cancellations you can call those clients.

yes please! An automatic waitlist feature allows guests to sign up for notifications when their desired dates are fully booked. If a room becomes available, they’re instantly alerted by email, turning potential cancellations or changes into new reservations without staff needing to lift a finger.

Be able to add a waiting list for customers waiting for certain nights. Including name, phone number and a block to leave descriptive notes for that inquiring guest.

An automatic waitlist feature allows guests to sign up for notifications when their desired dates are fully booked. If a room becomes available, they’re instantly alerted by email, turning potential cancellations or changes into new reservations without staff needing to lift a finger.

Currently, we rely on manual waitlists on paper or spreadsheets, which are easy to forget or inconsistently checked. This leads to missed opportunities, frustrated guests, and ultimately, lost revenue. Staff are busy, and it’s unrealistic to expect perfect tracking without automation.

Many other PMS platforms already offer this functionality as a standard feature. It’s a proven tool that keeps properties competitive, efficient, and responsive to guest demand.
By integrating an automatic waitlist system, we can:

Capture demand even when we’re booked solid
Turn cancellations into confirmed revenue
Keep potential guests engaged and informed
Lighten the load on our staff

Simply put, this feature modernizes our booking process and helps us stop leaving money on the table.

An internal wait list is needed to note in guests to contact with available rooms as a first priority when availability presents itself on fully booked days! Right now, we use an Excel sheet for this...

We have recently migrated to MEWS. Our old PMS system had a decent waitlist feature. We overlooked that MEWS did not offer a feature or even a way to do this! I would say this is critical beyond critical. Can someone let us and the rest of the folks below know where this stands on the dev list. Right now we feel like we are missing sales because we dont have a way to accommodate our guests. Thanks!

Any Updates here? Still very important feature!!!

Currently in using WebRez our waitlist allows us to send emails only to those we want to send emails to instead of automatically. Would be need to see that as a push function, so you open the waistlist and each line item has a "send email?" button so you can manage who and in what order the emails get sent out.

But anything like is mentioned above would be amazing!

Would be interesting to hear from someone at Mews why this is not done yet - seems like a pretty obvious feature that would be popular. Is it due to implementation difficulties with tech or just a priority thing?

With increasing demand, having a waitlist option would enhance our sales efficiency.

For sure it would be interesting, however the automatic e-mail to the guest I'm not sure would be ideal. I think it should be up to the hotel to see which reservation needs to be confirmed.

This would be very efficient and highly appreciated for operations! .. waiting List via Excel or other extra Programs is just not what Mews is representing as a PMS of the Future

Finally, that would be a relief for everyone involved, guests and employees alike!

Yes we would highly appreciate a waitlist as discribed. Any news about this feature request?
