Hey Mews Community! 👋
I'm excited to announce we're looking for properties to join our Beta programme for our new Check Out feature that allows you to check guests out directly after closing a bill.
The Problem We're Solving
It is common practice to settle incidental charges prior to guests checking out, however after closing the bill users have to navigate multiple clicks to find the check out button.
In the background we have also made some technical changes that allow us to deploy changes faster and reduce maintenance overheads so you may see some subtle UI changes but our objective here is that these are unintrusive and can be easily navigated by the user.
What's Changed?
You can now check out reservations directly from the Bill Details page — no need to jump to the checkout report or reservation.
Here's how it works:
- When at least one reservation on the bill is ready to check out, a Check Out button appears on the closed bill
- You can select one or multiple reservations to check out at the same time (up to 10)
- Only reservations in the "To Check Out" state with no unbalanced bills blocking them will be available
- Checkout behaviour mirrors the Checkout Report — so if you have automated bill closing and emailing configured, that will still apply at checkout
Who's This Beta For?
This is a great fit for properties that:
✅ Regularly charge incidentals at check out
✅ Are keen to test new UI changes before they roll out to everyone
✅ Are happy to share feedback on usability and any edge cases they spot
What We're Looking For in Beta Testers
We'd love your feedback on:
- Whether the subtle additional changes we have made to the the Bill Details page feel intuitive and works as expected
- The new Check Out button — does it show up when expected? Does the checkout flow behave correctly? Does it save you time?
- Any unexpected behaviour or edge cases you come across
Interested? Here's How to Join
