  1. We have long term residential guests who stay with us through a partner provider and who each sign a contract before they arrive - it would be great to be able to attach a copy of the contract to the guest profile so we can refer to it quickly and easily.

    Hi Mewsers!
    Guests can now sign digital registration cards in Navigator before arriving!

    Now, when guests check in online, they’ll provide all of their legally required info and their signature to create a digital registration card.

    We’ll store the signed card on the customer profile in Mews in Files section. https://help.mews.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010283757

    For more information check the release note at https://releases.mewssystems.com/.
    Have a great day,
    Aneta

  3. Would be great if we can lock certain company profiles.
    So we can ensure its not overridden. Some integrating parties use these, and when deleted integrations may break. Also in certain countries specific fields are required. Would be great if we could also lock these for modification such as VAT fields/ Code fisc. etc.

  4. When I enter my last name and confirmation number and the room to which I am assigned is not ready, I get the error message that I should come back later. Better solution would be if the tablet can automatically reassign the guest into different room of the same space category, which is ready to be used.

  5. On the body of the email the guest receives, it would be good to change the signature line in the email. We would like to change “The Mews Team” to “AutoCamp Russian River”. Our guests don't know who "The Mews Team" is and it should default to the property name.

    Hi Robert,
    thanks for your input. That makes sense! We put the property name to the signature. It should appear in production in the upcoming days.

    Have a great day,

  6. It is not mandatory for many countries to have guests fill out "Identity documents". This is also the case for our hotel in Norway.

    Plus we want to make it as easy and fast as possible for our guests to complete the online check-in.

    Would therefore appreciate if it could be optional to fill out "Identity document" in the online check-in.

  7. For properties with AutoCheck-in we need the booker to be able to fill in the data of all guests as some of them (old people and children) don't have email address to complete the compulsory data of the registration cards.

  8. being able to set up parameters for the deletion of guest data. Some countries have restrictions for how long we are allowed to store this data. I.E 2 yrs after the last check in, or something similar.

    Hello Mewsers,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    It is currently possible to receive a copy of the confirmation email when bookings are made from the Distributor. This functionality can be enabled in your stay settings by selecting the option “Order generates email”. You can use this option to trigger an automatic email notification for the relevant departments.

    Should you have any questions or require more information about this functionality, please contact our customer care team.

    We look forward to your continued feedback and suggestions.

    Kind regards,
    Aldair

  10. It would be great if the standalone QR code would be visible in the Before Start e-mail as well in addition to the apple wallet option so that the android users could check in more easily in the Operator kiosk as well.

    Hi Mewsers!
    Thank you for your input. We have updated the online check-out flow for guests with remaining balance on VCC.

    Guests with remaining balance on virtual credit card AND items to be paid upon check-out won’t be able to pay during the online check-out and they will be send to reception.

    They will still be able to review their bill in advance and add minibar items (if you have minibar) but they won’t be able to pay with their card, neither with VCC. Guests who has nothing to pay during online check-out can finish the online check-out even though their VCC is not fully charged.

    We are closely monitoring the occurrence of cases who cannot proceed via flow. So far it’s very low (2 out of 500 people). In case the occurrence will increase we will come up with more comprehensive solution.

    At the moment I suggest…

  12. Hey, I was thinking it would be cool if there is an online check-out option for guests who are in a hurry- just in case the queue is longer at some times- they could check themselves out via the plattform with which they booked and put in the keycard in a machine (like a ticket machine). To avoid people leaving without paying open bills, the machine could decline the keycard with a loud noise and inform us at the reception. I know that this might seem too good to be true and not manageable but I have actually been to…

    Hi Mewsers,
    we already offer the online check-out to guests who are in hurry and who want to skip the queue at the reception.

    Guests can do the online check-out from their phone, tablet, or laptop. In case there are some unpaid bills they are required to pay for them, they can add their billing details or claim items from minibar if your property have any.
    https://help.mews.com/en/articles/4245851-what-is-online-check-out

    Try it out! Guests love it!
    Check-out is also coming to the Operator, soon, so stay tuned! :-)

    Have a great day,
    Aneta

  13. Customers already receive confirmation and online c-in emails.
    There is a ID scanner in place, however it takes time for guests to put their name and booking ref number.
    It will be very helpful if a guest can just present a QR code for their booking and the kiosk finds their booking and starts the c-in process.
    This will also limit the errors when mistyping name/booking number and limit the customer "touch" interaction with the device for the current Covid environment.

  14. If you receive a reservation via distributor, the guest can send you a message in Mews but the hotel cannot reply?!? Than, we have to send an email and this is not stored in Mews.

    Hi Mewsers,
    if you received the message from guest via messaging service directly in PMS it was sent from guest portal, not directly from Distributor. You can easily reply on that message through messaging module directly in Mews Commander.
    You can read more in Help article: https://help.mews.com/en/articles/4245614-read-and-reply-to-messages
    I hope that helps. :-)

    Have a great day,

  15. It would be great if it would be possible to change the check in message manually:

    After self check in the text shows:
    „Don´t forget, your keys are on the reception“…
    During Corona times many guest do not get their ke
    ys at the reception. Thats why the hotel needs to change this message.

    Hi Mewsers,
    Good news! We just released this feature. You can now configure the custom online check-in instructions.

    How to do it?
    Go to Settings > Services > Stay > Options and look for “Check-in instructions” field.

    Insert plain text – do not use HTML tags.
    Custom check-in instruction appear at the end of the online check-in flow.

    Have a great day,
    Aneta

  16. Mail templates are currently editable and customizable using HTML within Commander. Although this allows for quite a lot of customization options, it is restricted to those who are more familiar with using HTML. Introducing a preview button or test email functionality could help properties greatly, as they could then see exactly what the final product will look like while they finalize their email formatting.

    It's also important for being able to track the correspondence which was sent out to guests.

  17. When updating the profile information in the Navigator. The guest is required to add their passport or ID. If they select ID, and do not choose the issuing country. Mews requests that they input the expiration date. In South Africa, the ID does not have an expiration date. Can we make the issuing country a mandatory field, so that the guest cannot miss this field?

    Hi Mewsers!
    Good news! From now on, we are requiring the issuing country for documents in South Africa. If the issuing country is Soth Africa, the expiration date is not required.

  18. The idea is to improve the check-in via commander to be able to use it on a tablet and add these 3 functions :
    -credit card scanning
    -French identity card scanning
    -electronic signature

  19. Have a real Company Profile with the Billing section (like the customer profile). Would be much easier to put bills directly on the Account Receivable of the Company itself.

    Even-though it’s released, we are still improving the feature based on your feedback shared through our feedback portal. Currently, the online check-out is not available in France, Portugal, Italy and Spain yet. But we are currently working on enabling the feature in these countries as well.
