Hi Mews community, we’ve got big POS news! 

We’ve been working behind the scenes to make your food and beverage (F&B) operations a whole lot more flexible and data driven. And thanks to the new Mews POS open API capabilities, business intelligence partners can now integrate directly. 

So, we’re pleased to announce that Blent is now a certified business intelligence partner for Mews POS! 

Why this matters 

Blent’s integration with Mews POS lets hotels seamlessly connect POS sales and product data directly into Blent’s platform. So you can make faster, smarter decisions about staffing, menus and profitability. 

Customer spotlight: Hey Lou HOTELS 

Our longtime customer, Hey Lou HOTELS, is already live with the integration, with seven properties now connected. Lukas Weitzel, their Head of Business Intelligence, shared how this direct connection has transformed their operations: 

“With Mews POS connected to Blent, we can truly connect the dots - and the costs. We’re able to track the cost of any product at any time and instantly see which items are performing and which aren’t. We also analyze employee performance so can make smarter decisions about staffing, menus and profitability easier with all our data in one place.” 

With Mews POS and Blent, teams across Hey Lou HOTELS benefit from: 

  • Regularly updated data feeds for accurate, up-to-date reporting.

  • Granular insights including timestamps for every order sold and discount performance. Heatmaps reveal detailed item and restaurant performance by time which support smarter decisions on opening hours, discount strategies and menu adjustments.

  • Product-level detail down to a single menu item (like soup of the day) across all properties, allowing for the fact that certain items are not standardized and may vary by hotel.

  • Multi-property reporting, giving leadership visibility across the entire group as well as individual outlet.

 

Before 

After, with Blent 

  • Hours spent manually pulling data into Excel every day 

  • Data syncs automatically 

  • Complex task to track performance across properties 

  • Unified data and all performance data in one business intelligence tool 

  • Limited visibility into detailed data 

  • Granular data insights into product and employee performance 

  • Difficult to identify strong/weak performance or seasonal trends 

  • Simplified trend analysis 

  • Difficult to evaluate shift profitability or outlet decisions 

  • Clear cost-analysis with combined POS and staffing data 

  • Reactive budgeting and forecasting 
    with inconsistent data 

  • Strategic forecasting and budgeting with accurate, up-to-date data 

 

What integrations are coming next? 

We’ve already built Mews POS APIs for business intelligence, inventory management and table reservation partners. And there are even more on the way. Stay tuned to see what 👀
