Make the calendar easier for guests
The calendar in the kiosk for the expiration date, birthdate, etc. is very illogical. It would be better if guests are able to write the date themselves, or make it a 3-part process (think apple) with the year date, and month separate.
The process to click the year first (tiny module top right) and then find the month and then the date is very confusing and unintuitive.6 votesHello from the Mews product team. We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request has been released. Users are now able to type dates into relevant fields on the Kiosk. Thank you again for sharing your idea!

Check Out Kiosk
For Hotels/Hostels without reception it is necessary that the guest can check out at the kiosk - and pay the bill right there. The kiosk has an integrated Mews terminal, so the look and feel is exactly as it is at the online check out - just with the payment at the kiosk.

When completing their check-out, guests with outstanding balances can now pay their bills directly via a Mews terminal connected to the Kiosk. Thank you again for sharing your idea!

self check in
Hi - Self Check in has a maximum amount of times that it is possible to use ?! As it seems. Quote 100 has been reached for a regular guest of ours and he can not use the service anymore. The service self check in not usable anymore for that particular guest staying as often as he does. Is this correct ?

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.

Make QR code of ANDROID phones also readable the Mews Kiosk
As it seems, the QR code is only readable from Ipones (IOS) and not readable on Androids at the moment. Since Android still has a huge marketshare, this would be a big improvement for guests and hosts.
3 votesHello from the Mews product team.
We have marked this request as ‘released’ as the Mews Kiosk can read QR codes from Android devices.

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.

Date of birth filling by guest more intuitive and thus faster
Adding date of birth by a guest is not very intuitive at the moment. Almost every guest is taking quite some time to figure it out. So request to make this filling in more logical and intuitive.

Add more keyboard options for Kiosk
Merged with several similar requests:
- Different keyboard layouts (e.g. QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZU)
- Keyboard to support characters with accents
- Keyboard to support Japanese, Chinese and Korean
The keyboard layout is built in in the Mews Kiosk app.
Only Qwerty is used in the app. Allthough 85% of our customers are using Azerty.
I already contacted support for this problem and they confirmed that the only keyboard layout available is Qwerty.It should depend which language the customer choose, that changes the keyboard layout.

QR Code scanner
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.3 votesHello,
please, let me inform you that the QR code scanner is already available in our kiosk. It is on the Find your reservation screen – see the attached screenshot.
Best regards,

Custom agreement with property rules
Our property deals with people who smoke inside the hotel rooms. It doesn't matter that they don't smell cigarettes inside of the room, nor that there is no ashtray.
We used to require agreement with non-smoking policy on registration cards, however when the guest does check-in via Operator, it is not possible.
We wish to have a special screen, where the guest has to agree that there is a penalty in case of smoking inside of the room.
17 votesHello from the Mews product team. We are pleased to confirm that this change was previously released as part of the 'house rules' capability in the Kiosk.

Kiosk generic welcome message not suitable for gendered languages
As french grammar is very particular and the actual generic welcome message "bienvenue à/au" does not look appropriate, it would be perfect if the property could write the full welcome message.
20 votesHello from the Mews product team.
We are pleased to let you know that we have made changes to address the feedback shared where the Kiosk welcome message did not appropriately handle masculine and feminine hotel names in some languages.
Thank you again for sharing this feedback!

Prevent that specific guests with unbalanced bills are not able to check in at Operator kiosks
For example the guest has an open bill from a previous stay and could not be charged via merchant, so we want to make sure that this specific guest won't be able to do the check in via Operator and will be forced to check in at the reception.
7 votesHello from the Mews product team. We would like to let you know that it is not possible for a guest to check-in through Kiosk if they have an unbalanced bill from a prior stay. If you are experiencing this at your property then please reach out to support to help us resolve the issue. -
