Is it possible to split up a room rate e.g EUR 100,00 into seperate parts on an invoice/ move the parts to different invoices?  Thank you!

Hi everyone,  I need my cleaning staff to have access to the POS for mini bar items but I dont want them to be admin. Does anyone know if it is possible to make that happen? If not, what is your alternative? Thank you in advance! Alida

Hi fellow users!Is there a way to create a promotion with a limit on the number of rooms that are available to be booked on the MEWS Booking Engine?Thanks ahead!

Hi, I’m new and in training and setting up my rates. By default it seems anybody can make a booking in the far future. I can put closed restrictions in a certain time window but if I go farther than that in the future then I can book something say in year 3050 no problem. It is kind of weird to me to have such dates open in my system. Are these far-future availabilities pushed to the OTAs and channel managers? Is the only way to protect oneself from such bookings to put a ridiculously high price on the tarif? seems like a hack to me and a malicious user could still make a phony booking... Is there anyway tarifs can be closed for all dates above a certain date ?Thanks

Good morning,  I’d like to email all our past guests.  Is there a way to export a list of all email addresses of previous guests?  Many thanks in anticipation. Lisa 

Hello We have just Migrate from Amadeus-Hotel Concepts to Mews and we are experiencing a weird bug Indeed while scanning the id to complete the guest profile (or by completing it manually), it appears that all guests borned before 1961 are considered by Mews as being born in the year twothousands...It means that if you are born in 1960, it captures 2060 as the year of birth and therefore you cannot save your guest profile as there is an error message poping up We are in a dd/mm/yy configuration ans have not try another one as we want to stick to it (more common in Europe) Did somebody already enounter that issue and find a solution? If so, I would be glad if you could help. And if the question as already been answered previously in another topic, please accept my apologies in advance ;-) Waiting for your reply  Best regards to all of you Mewsers   Stephane

Bravo à Mews!Chapeau! respect!Avec les tarifs que nous payons, ne pas vouloir sortir un euro pour faire un service client à peu près convenable en demandant à ses propres clients de le faire eux même gratuitement, c’est du grand art!!Point positif: pour une fois, Mews ne nous fait pas payer pour ça. 

Hello everyone We just migrated from Amadeus Idpms to Mews One of the consequences is that some of the open receivables on our books in Amadeus were not yet balanced at the time of migration (because not paid yet).  Recently we have received a payment for an invoice issued in June 2023 I was wondering how to post the payment in Mews. Here is the idea I thought of:=> First: going on to the company profile - billing - open new bill=> Then: go on payment - external - choose invoice and post a negative value of the paid amount (put a note for reference like: “ bill june 2023 Amadeus”)=> Last: post the payment (wire transfer in this case) which would balance the bill  What do you think? The main question here of course is: how to process the remaining receivables from the previous PMS in Mews ?😉 Thanks in advance for your help and insights Regards 

is kit possible if you made a mistake with maetro paying to refund this with mews?

We created a package with 2 different half board.On the first night, I need to post products from our first restaurant (Evening Meal - food + beverages at RestoX). On the second night, I need to post another product from our other restaurant (Evening Meal - food & beverage at RestoY).In the product configuration, you do not have this kind of choice.The product is “Per Person”. But one is before the first night and the other one is before the second night. The only options are Reservation Start / Reservation End. Neither is correct.  => how to post the correct products with correct prices on the correct nights?

Hi there! Today the new kiosk app has been uploaded on our tablet and since then the camera icon for scanning ID´s does not show up on the screen! This makes it very difficult for us to check-in people properly. Anybody else that suffers from this problem? Thanks for your answer. Christina 

Does anyone know of software or somewhere in MEWS B.I. that can show you how many date searches queries were denied due to no-avail?Essentially, we would like to crunch some numbers to understand if we are in fact giving too much to OTA’s, and can actually reserve more rooms for ourselves for specific dates or periods.

Hi,We have create packages room + breakfast, in the setup we have choose bill as package. If guest stay more than one night it’s show in one line stay 10/10 - 19/10 and the total price. We need to show to guest the price of the package per night, is it possible? and if yes how to do it?Thank you.

Hi, we will be closed midweek throughout the winter.  The only way to show this on the calendar seems to be as a restriction or by adding house use for each room/date.  This is very onerous, but also means that clean rooms are automatically marked as dirty when it goes into that period of time.  Is there a way to easily set a repeated block on weekdays please? 

Hi everybody,I wanted to check out the Salto integration that allows to send out mobile keys via Mews according to this page: https://www.mews.com/en/products/marketplace/saltoHowever, I could not find it in the marketplace. Anybody has this already up and running or does anybody know how to connect Salto (mobile Key) and Mews? Thx and kind regardsTobais

Hello everyone.  I am looking at setting up a Black Friday deal which is open for selected arrival dates between Black Friday 2023 and the end of 2024.  This part is all fine however, I would like to limit the booking period from Black Friday to 31st December 2023.  I cannot see a way of doing this through the restrictions option.  Has anyone successfully set anything like this up before or is the only way to manually turn it off after the 31st December? Thanks in advance...

We are using the Saflok / Kaba / Dormakaba Ambiance system and the keycutter with MEWS and experiencing problems.  Does anyone know how to fix these specific error codes from MEWS when trying to cut keys but failing?Error code:  “"Get reservation data failed..." Error code:  “"Message does not contain "KA|"  

We're exploring best practices for selling packages online, especially via channel manager like SiteMinder and the direct Booking.com integration. Our goal is to effectively offer B&B packages with the associated products. We want to ensure that both the rate and products are dispatched to the channel via the channel manager, and upon returning to Mews, the product is accurately applied.Here's a specific challenge: In Mews, if our room rate is $150 and an additional $12 per person for breakfast, everything aligns seamlessly within Mews and our booking engine.However, when it comes to channels, we haven’t managed to set it up. Considerations ensuring the product count is correctly based on the pax count in the reservation.Questions:How are you managing this? Do you have any examples or specific setups you can share that have been effective? Do you map products in the channel manager settings?Any insights or expe

Hi there 👋I’m Olivia, a Product Manager at Mews in our Guest Experience team.I'm looking for volunteers to hop on a call with me to talk about the digital guest journey.As you know we have solutions for the Booking stage (a.k.a the Booking Engine) and the Arrival stage (Kiosk & Online Check-in).Now we want to explore how we could go further and do more during the stay and as the guests leave.Imagine things like ordering room service from your phone, scheduling a laundry pick-up or maybe extending your booking in a couple of clicks. More digital self-service and less queuing or calling the front desk. 📱😍Are you experimenting with any of this? Are you interested but you don’t know where to start and would love for Mews to help? Are you using any other guest experience software? Are you as excited as I am about the possibilities? 😁🙌I would love to have a chat (and can keep it to 30 m

Hi Team,When splitting a reservation we used to be able to choose the time the reservation was split, now the time functionality has been removed.This is causing us a big problem for room moves after midnight on the final night of the stay, as it is no longer possible to split the reservation and perform a room move.Is anyone else experiencing issues with not being able to select the time a reservation is split?
