Smarter menu management is here

Menu management in Mews POS has had an upgrade. We just launched two new features to give you more control over menu availability and dietary restrictions. The best bit? There’s no waiting around. These features are already live and ready to use in Mews POS. Keep reading to learn more about them. Availability-based menus Managing multiple outlets or service periods means your team needs to know exactly what's on at any given time. Now, simply configure menu availability by time and day and the system will handle it for you. What it means for you: Menus automatically switch, so servers always see the right items and pricing. Plus, staff don’t need to switch between menus manually or rely on memory. That means no more wrong orders during service transitions or reminders to swap to

Multi property login for Mews POS

I’m currently working with a multi-property Mews PMS client who is exploring whether a single login can be used across multiple Mews POS properties, which they will all be using.As it stands, my understanding is that each property requires a separate login, and that the same email cannot be used across multiple properties, which in practice means managing several email accounts to access different POS setups.

POS Programm nach der Umstellung

Hallo zusammen 😊seit der POS-Netzwerkumstellung am 24.02.26, zu der wir bereits seit Monaten die entsprechenden E-Mails erhalten hatten, haben wir leider Probleme mit unseren Handgeräten.Während ich noch auf eine Rückmeldung vom Support warte, wollte ich einmal in die Runde fragen, ob jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen macht.Immer wieder passiert es, dass beim Buchen eines Essens auf einen Tisch und dem anschließenden Absenden das Handgerät abstürzt (man muss sich neu anmelden).Das Essen wird zwar im System gebucht, jedoch wird kein Bon gedruckt – was im vollen Wochenendbetrieb natürlich schnell zu Chaos führt.Das Problem tritt mehrmals täglich auf, jedoch nicht bei einem bestimmten Gericht, an einem bestimmten Ort oder auf einem bestimmten Gerät – es wirkt eher zufällig.Wir haben bereits die App-Daten der Geräte komplett zurückgesetzt, leider ohne Erfolg.Hat jemand von euch ein ähnliches Problem oder vielleicht sogar eine Lö

Make more with Mews: Multicurrency now available for POS

Multicurrency 🤝 POS payments Multicurrency by Mews Payments already helps hotels deliver transparent, guest-friendly payments for PMS transactions. We’re now extending that same seamless experience to food and beverage. The feature gives international guests the option of paying in their home currency at your hotel, rather than paying in the local currency. Guests value Multicurrency because it takes away the stress of transacting in an unfamiliar currency, while hotels love it as they retain part of conversion fees that are normally kept by banks. It’s a simple way to boost your bottom line as it turns every cross-border payment into a new revenue opportunity... and we’re excited to share that the feature is now available for POS via Mews S1 and S2 terminals. How it works When an international guest pays on an S1 or S2 terminal, the price is displayed in their home currency using real-time exchange rates, giving them the choic

Cross-search function for open orders/tables -> Mews POS

Dear Community,Are you often faced with the same challenge?:When many orders are open at the same time, it is very idle to find the right one. Although you can filter by table number or Name etc., only your own orders are displayed sorted and then the rest below, excluding yours.It would be great to have a field with a cross-search, in which you could simply enter name or room number or table number etc. and then find the order.Are you with me? In this case your are wlecome to comment and/or please vote for my feedback -> https://feedback.mews.com/forums/950776-restaurant-operations-pos/suggestions/51051505-cross-search-function-for-open-orders-tablesBest regardsNiclas

Mews POS is now live in Sweden

We’re thrilled to announce that Mews POS is now live in Sweden! Hospitality teams across the country can now run their entire operation from a single, connected system - from the front desk to the hotel lobby bar, restaurant, or café. One of our early adopters in Sweden, Västervik’s oldest family-owned hotel said: “Mews POS really simplifies the work behind the scenes in our hotel lobby bar. Our team can focus more on serving guests and less on complicated systems - it’s intuitive, efficient, and makes our day-to-day operations much smoother.” “Being able to post directly to our PMS is a huge benefit. Every transaction flows seamlessly into the system, it makes things so simple for our staff and helps us manage room charges without any hassle.” Mattias Fornell, Owner, Best Western Centralhotellet Mews POS isn’t just any hotel poi

Inventory tracking and Cost management

Good afternoon,We are in the process of familiarizing ourselves with hotel inventory management and would appreciate your advice on setting up the most effective structure within the POS system.Our inventory includes a mix of sellable items and internal-use (purchasable) items. We would like guidance on the best way to categorize and manage these in the system. For example, should inventory be structured by department such as hotel/office supplies, spa inventory, housekeeping inventory, etc.?Currently, we operate separate warehouses for kitchen, beverage, spa, and housekeeping. We would like to confirm whether this setup is sufficient within the POS or if there are any additional configurations, categorizations, or best practices we should consider to ensure accurate tracking, reporting, and control.We would appreciate any recommendations on optimal inventory structure and any additional steps that may be required.Thank you in adva

Matching items from integrated documents (e.g., POS) are combined into a single item in the PMS.

Hello everyone,We frequently encounter the following issue:Guests request that a restaurant receipt from MEWS POS (or other integrations) be split across different rooms/guest profiles upon departure. However, duplicate items from POS receipts are combined into a single item in the billing window. For example, grape juice: These three grape juices cannot be split across separate invoices after the fact; they constitute a single item and can therefore only be paid on one invoice. Of course, one could manually calculate the amounts and allocate them to different payment methods. But perhaps someone here is familiar with this issue and even has a solution for booking the items individually?After all, with products from bookable services, everything is ultimately booked as individual, divisible items.

Mehrwersteuer-Änderung in "Mews POS" - Frühstück

Hallo zusammen,wie geht Ihr mit der Mehrwertsteueränderung in “Mews POS” um? Konkret geht es mir um das Frühstück. Das POS scheint sich ja nicht automatisch mit dem PMS zu synchronisieren und selbst kann man wohl auch keine Synchro anstoßen. Müssen die beiden Splitting-Produkte dann zusätzlich händisch dort hinterlegt werden? Dann erfolgt aber keine Zuordnung zu den richtigen Kostenstellen etc. Auch ist die Frage, ob man Speisen- und Getränkeanteil zu einem Produkt kombinieren kann, damit man im S2 nicht immer zwei Produkte anwählen muss. Hat hier jemand schon eine Lösung gefunden?Viele Grüße aus Köln.Christian

Critical: Missing VAT/SII Reporting for MEWS POS "Outlet" Sales

Dear MEWS Community,We are facing a significant challenge regarding the integration of our Point of Sale (MEWS POS) and accounting system (SAGE 200), specifically impacting tax compliance for Spain's Immediate Supply of Information (SII) mandate.While our "on credit" tickets flow correctly through the PMS (MEWS) to the Tax Agency, our "Outlet" (direct sales) tickets are not being automatically communicated to the SII, nor is their associated VAT being correctly included in the Omniboost CSV file for SAGE 200.This forces us into a time-consuming, manual process to comply with tax requirements. As MEWS/Omniboost currently cannot provide a solution, we are reaching out to the community for workarounds or alternative integrations to automate the reporting of "Outlet" sales and their VAT to the Spanish Tax Agency.If anyone requires more detail

A busy shift in hotel F&B is tough. Orders need to be taken, guests are waiting to pay, and your team is juggling service, systems, and sky-high expectations. The last thing you need is tech that adds more friction. Your POS should feel like a natural part of your hotel operations, not an extra layer to manage. When front-of-house, management and kitchen staff all work from the same system, service flows, errors drop, and teams stay focused on what matters most: the guest. This article walks you through how Mews POS enables faster service and more consistency across your F&B operations with less manual effort – so your teams stay efficient and your guests stay happy. What it is Mews POS is a fully integrated point-of-sale system for hotel food and beverage outlets including restaurants, bars, and retail outlets.

Mews POS - "Kellner-Kassen"

Hallo zusammen,wir nutzen nun gut seit einer Woche Mews POS und jeder Kellner arbeitet in sein eigenes Portemonnaie. Muss dann hierfür für jeden Kellner eine eigene Kasse eingerichtet werden? Wir hatten neulich das Problem, dass auf dem Bericht “Verkäufe” in der Administration ein anderes Trinkgeld für einen Benutzer/Kellner ausgewiesen wurde, als der Benutzer/Kellner auf seiner Kellnerabrechnung hatte. Bei allen anderen Benutzern/Kellnern hat es jedoch gestimmt, sodass irgendwo Trinkgeld “verloren” gegangen ist. Gibt es hierzu Erfahrungen? Wie handhabt Ihr es in euren Betrieben? Eine allgemeine Kasse oder jeder Benutzer/Kellner ein eigenes Portemonnaie? Vielen Dank vorab

Hallo zusammen,bei uns gibt es die Option rechts über den Kategorien “ Vor Ort Essen” und “Zum Mitnehmen” - gerne würde ich “Zum Mitnehmen” löschen.
