bulk updates Room status

Hey Community,  We are seeing a huge potenial in having bulk updates for the room status, we basically need it to be able to make sure guests dont check-in in to early without paying the early check-in fee but still give the oppertunity to have everything ready before coming to the hotel. We use the goki online check-in for that and if a room is on inspectedand the guest checks in the reservation starts automatically even before official check-in time.Idea is to make it possible to change all clean rooms automatically to inspected on a specific time. Does anyone know if this would be possible to build with zapier?   Best regardsHendrik

Remove counter numbers from postings?

Hello everybody, does anybody have a clue if there is the possibility to remove the system integrated counter for postings? I.e. if we give out vouchers it says “Voucher 105 - Voucher Nr. 1234”Red is the number the counter in the system gives it and shows on the invoice, green is the internal voucher number. Is there any possibility to remove these? So that it only says “Voucher - Voucher Nr. 1234” Thank you kindly!

How to leave Tip at Check Out Kiosk

Hi everybody Is there an option to add a Tip during the Check Out Process on the MEWS Kiosk?Until now we just can add it to the minibar products, but as we do not have minibars in our rooms, it does not make a lot of sense there. Best practise would be to have a “add tip” section on the Mews Payment Terminal. Can this be done somehow? Thank you Dominik

HOW DO I BOOK A GROUP RETREAT

PHow do I book a group - i.e. a group of 20 corporate leaders where a contract would go to one person and the company would pay with one credit card for all the guests and the entire program etc. We plan on having a lot of group bookings at our venue (rather than just individual guest bookings for rooms) - for instance, small corporate retreats which will require room blocks.  Does Mews have the capabilities of sending quotes, contracts and invoices?  If not, will this be a feature in the near future? If not, is there a "work-around"? Does it also have the ability to create BEO's?

Umstellung des Paypemt

ich möchte künftig statt des Mews-Payment einen alternativen Anbieter wie Adyen oder Nexi nutzen. Leider kann ich hierfür keine Anwendung im Marketplace finden. Auch bei der Hilfe / Kontakt kann ich hierfür keine Lösung finden. Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass ich die Anwendung “'Mews Alternative Payment Methods” nutzen soll, die aber im Marketplace ebenfalls nicht zu finden ist.Hat jemand Erfahrung damit?

Notes

Hello Mewsers Just wondering if it is possible in anyway to have the notes coming from the channel manager to be all regarded as “General” notes instead of “Channel Manager” ones by Mews (see below)  It already does it for Expedia, but that is the only one...Is it a question of mapping between the OTA and the channel manager or between the CM and Mews? Only asking because it would be of great use to me as I’m using the Zapier integration to automate various tasks in regards of what is written in the “Notes” section of a new reservation. When it is a “General” note I can use it but I’can’t if it is a “CM” note… Maybe some of you knows how to get that setup @Mick maybe?...Or some Mews devs? Anyway, thanks in advance for your help and your time Regards Stephane

Push inventory limited to 365 days in the future

Hello Mews-ers, I tried to go live with my prices until October 2025.Until a month of two ago, there was no problem to push the inventory beyond 1 year in the future (eg. 13 months).Now it seems to be limited to 365 days in the future. Is this correct?

Preisabfrage MEWS

Hallo Zusammen, bei der Preisabfrage haben wir unterschiedliche Preise geladen.Einmal mit und einmal ohne Frühstück. Als primärer Preis wird die Rate ihne FS angezeigt. Frägt der Gsat nun nach dem Preis inkl. FS und ich wähle die Rate entsprechend inkl. FS aus, wird dies nicht addiert.Entweder wir rechnen es im Kopf aus oder fügen es über + hinzu, dann wird der Preis rechts im Reservierungsfeld inkl. FS angezeigt.Früher hat es den Preis inkl. noch direkt angezeigt. So ist es etwas umständlich. LGNina Atorf

Assa Abloy Vostio - multiroom access

HeyaI am wondering if anyone knows how to map connecting rooms in the Assa Abloy Vostio key cutter, such that the keys you punch out opens both rooms in a connecting room set-up.Example - Room 5 + 6 can be made to a connecting room “5+6”. Room “5+6” is the parent room for room 5 as well as room 6. When a client is staying in room 5 or room 6,  it is possible to punch individual keys for them. However when the reservation is assigned room “5+6” the key cutter cannot figure out how to make a key, which will access both room 5 & room 6.Thanks for your feedback.Nikolas

Problem with 2FA when using Microsoft Authenticator in both Demo and PROD

Just a small advice to not use Microsoft Authenticator for both your Demo and PROD environment if your username is the same in both environments. When configuring the second login into the MS Authenticator, it will overwrite the first one, leaving you stuck on the environment you configured first in MS Authenticator.Use either a different authenticator or email confirmation in this case.Problem does apparently not exist with Google Authenticator.

Anniversary Tracking

Has anyone found a good way to track anniversaries? We currently have been tracking birthdays in the guest profile, but it’d be amazing if we had a method of tracking anniversaries that would also alert us of upcoming milestones. Thanks!

Unpaid Items / deposits

So many of our fully paid bills are stuck in “Unpaid items / deposits” bills.It’s causes so many problems with delays on checkout, people not noticing the error and thinking they checked the person out when they didn’t. We have to go back and close so many bills after they have been checked out also.  Does anyone know if there is a simple solution to this, have we got something set up wrong?  Thanks!

Employee User role and Permissions

I have been attempting to limit the access front of office employees have to financial data or payment information which is both sensitive to the business and confidential. MEWS have informed me there is no way in preventing any employee who has access to changing housekeeping status to also view the financials of the business.Please could I have some help or if anyone else is finding this as an issue. While creating different roles and users I tested this ability to view all financial information. Therefore, any user with housekeeping privilages can view any information within ‘Finance’ on the burger menu. This worries me as this is sensitive information I don’t believe Housekeeping or Front of House should have access to?
