Hey Mewsers!
There’s a quiet power in small moments of calm.
That’s why our latest release focuses entirely on staff experience. Five updates that transform the way hotel teams manage billing, faster, clearer and far less manual.
Let’s see what that really means.
Five updates that make all the difference
-
Default bill automation: Mews automatically creates one bill per reservation, reducing manual sorting and errors.
-
Improved bill naming: Bills are now uniquely titled with reservation, owner or group details for instant recognition.
-
Search by bill name: Quickly locate specific bills by name, reservation ID, or group, directly from the billing screen.
-
Sort by consumption date: Bills are automatically organized by the earliest consumption date, surfacing what matters first.
-
Enhanced billing screen navigation: This makes billing faster, clearer and more intuitive for every team member.
What this means for your day to day
Morning: check-ins, clarity and calm
It’s 7:30am and the hotel reception team is checking the billing screen. This used to mean sorting unpaid items, fixing errors and creating bills by hand, but not anymore.
Mews now automatically creates one bill per reservation, so every item lands exactly where it belongs. That means the reception team doesn’t need to move charges manually between deposits or unpaid items.
When the first guest comes to check out, everything is ready. The ledger is balanced, and the front desk can focus on welcoming new arrivals.
Midday: finding things fast
By lunchtime, the General Manager wants to review yesterday’s group billing for a corporate client. There are dozens of invoices across multiple rooms, something that used to mean endless scrolling.
Now, they simply type the group name into the new search bar on the billing screen. In seconds, Mews filters all bills by name, showing exactly what she needs, whether it’s a reservation number, a group name or a company.
Afternoon: names that finally make sense
Later, the hotel’s accountant jumps into the billing screen. Before, every automatically created bill looked almost the same and was impossible to tell apart. But the improved naming conventions mean every bill in one profile has a unique title.
That means fewer mistakes when exporting or reconciling, and confidence in which bill belongs to which stay.
Evening: priorities in perfect order
As new arrivals check in, the front-desk agent opens the billing screen again. Dozens of bills appear, but this time they’re not random.
Mews now sorts bills automatically by earliest consumption date, so the most relevant, time-sensitive stays are always at the top. Bills for upcoming stays sit neatly below, ready when needed. There’s no more guessing what to focus on.
Night: peace of mind
At the end of the day, the night auditor runs through the accounts. Everything’s organized and the billing screen feels lighter, faster, smarter.
What used to be a 90-minute routine now takes half the time, with far fewer errors. The systems are working behind the scenes, letting staff work confidently and efficiently.
These tools are available for all Mews hoteliers now. You can open your billing screen and enjoy a smoother day or read more information on the release note.
