Hallo new and old friends 😘

I am Ria and I was the co-owner of Planet Winner, where I used to develop my own PMS/POS/S&C/Stock control system. My company and my people were acquired by Mews in December 2019. I still am very happy that I took that step. I love Mews as a company and Mews as a product. I am part of the Mews Ventures team, where I am a bit the product specialist and where I am helping transitioning the people and the customers to Mews. I started my hospitality career in 1986 as junior developer for Holiday Inn Worldwide (based in Brussels) where I worked on the HMS product, some of you may still know. After 37 years in the PMS and hospitality business, I am still learning every day and that is why I am here, to learn from you guys. Lets make our beloved Mews product the best out there, together! 

Oh, and I forgot to say that I am living in the most beautiful city of the world: Bruges 😍

Hello Mews community,

I'm excited to introduce myself as a new member community! My name is Thomas and I am leading a family hotel with 45 rooms, and a popular restaurant in Switzerland for the past decade.

I initially pursued studies in hotel management at Lausanne, but my journey in the hospitality sector took an unexpected turn when I ventured into the realm of financial audit for a period of six years, working with a prominent accounting firm. During this time, I had the opportunity to pursue a diploma as a certified public accountant. This experience provided me with invaluable insights into financial management and the intricate mechanics of business operations.

I am eager to learn from the diverse perspectives within this community!

Best Regards,
Thomas

Hi Mews Community! 

Excited to introduce myself (although I’ve been lurking around for a while, true to my introvert self). My name is Marko and I am a Solutions Architect here at Mews, specializing in Mews POS and Food & Beverage operations. I’ve been with Mews for the past year and a halt and prior to that with Bizzon for four years. During this time I’ve worked in different roles from Tech Support to Customer Success, Onboarding & Implementation, Training & Knowledge Management. For the past two years I’ve been in a pre-sales position, working as an external and internal consultant bridging the gap between customers and product development. I’m passionate about delivering value to our clients. 

I’m excited to be a part of this wonderful community and learn from all of you. Do not hesitate to reach out if you’d like me to help you.

Hello fellow Mewsers

 

I’m Stephane, from Belgium. Assistant Front Office Manager in Hotel de la Couronne in Liège (French speaking part of the country).

 

It is an independant hotel part of IMG Investment Group 

 

We are planning to go live with Mews as our PMS in less that 2 weeks now, and i’m thrilled about it (and quite scared too to be honnest). We are soon to be ex users of Amadeus (Hotel Concepts IDPMS) PMS and we are trying to go with the migration as smoothly as possible for the team.

 

It is nothing if not a challenge, but the helping team led by Marie Boullanger (from the Mews team) is as helpfull as one can be

 

See you around

 

Regards

Hey people! 😊

Finally joining this community today - feels overdue. 
My name is Tim. I am 27 and from Bielefeld, Germany. I have lived in The Hague 🇳🇱 for about 6 years now. Here I used to manage small independent properties together with an amazing team. 
After our PMS move to Mews, I was instantly convinced that it is and will be the platform in hospitality. 
This is what has lead me to applying for my job as Customer Onboarding Manager at Mews. 
Providing assistance to the same great experience I enjoyed (when becoming a customer) to other hoteliers feels super rewarding: building a succesful property on Mews.
I hope to learn a lot about the community here to understand how I can help you
and the new properties joining us better!

I look forward to reading your questions, comments and ideas. 

A bit about me: I love all sorts of electronic music as well as taking my dog to the beach!
Also, I am a lifelong Arminia Bielefeld Fan. ⚽

Have a lovely day everyone! ❤

KR, 

Tim

Hi Everyone!  

 

My name is Alina, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the Escapade Silverstone team as the Reservations Supervisor. I am involved in the opening our upcoming collection of 60 contemporary residences on the iconic Silverstone track, and I couldn't be more excited about this amazing project.

While my passion lies in hospitality, this marks my first experience with the MEWS system. I am eager to integrate MEWS into my daily tasks and explore its capabilities. As I embark on this learning journey, I would love to tap into the knowledge and expertise of this vibrant Community. 😊

If you have insights, tips, or invaluable facts about working with MEWS, I would be incredibly grateful for your guidance.

Hi Mews community,

I am introducing myself so...

  1. I can say hello to all the lovely people in this community 👋
  2. So you can brace yourselves for an onslaught of questions from a low volume luxury boutique property trying to implement a seamless, “guest experience” centric but still fully contactless user journey 🤓

… past life prior to building a boutique hotel was running web/app creative & development teams for several digital agencies … ie: know enough about UX & development to be dangerous (and most likely annoying… sorry 😬)

Hope some of the people in this community will be able to help us make our “it wasn’t really built that way” ideas a reality because if we can make this work it could be HUGE when it comes to managing staffing limitations for smaller properties (or big one for that matter).

Hi everyone! 👋🏻

I'm Ettore, and I have recently joined Mews as a Senior Product Manager where I will be working alongside the team of rockstars you already know 🎸.

 

I come from a fairly colorful hospitality background, having worked in operations ranging from 1000+ room resorts to boutique luxury cruises and restaurants all the way to consulting for airlines and catering companies. And what did they all have in common? They all could use better technology to allow humans to do human work. With that in mind, it's not a surprise I am here in Mews, freeing up your time so it can be spent making remarkable guest experiences instead of staring at a screen. 💎


I'm looking forward to getting to know you all through this awesome community, both leaning from your amazing backgrounds and sharing some knowledge wherever I can!

On, and do keep an eye 👀 out for those Beta invitations! I love giving our users a sneak peek on what's coming up - besides, as much as can say that I've been in the hotelier shoes before - nobody can tell me your business needs better than you do. 😉

Hello Mews Community 👋🏼

I’m Sofía and I’ve been happily working at Mews for over a year and half as a Service Designer in the Product Design Team.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is collaborating with all of you to shape and envision the service experiences you need. Over the past year and a half, I’ve had the pleasure to visit some of your properties, facilitating brainstorming sessions and conducting validation workshops. Additionally, I’ve interviewed many of you to gain deep insights into the system at play which encompasses aspects such as property type, context, location, guest experience, staffing, and roles. All of these help us shape the best strategies and course of action for our product. 

Feel free to reach out to me or Samanta Fink (our UX Research Manager) with any questions related to service design or how you can actively participate in our continuous discoveries.

Thank you for being part of the community, ✨

Sofía
