Zenchef integration - Credit card guarantee

One of my client properties that uses Mews, also utilises Zenchef as the booking software for their F&B services.The client would like to know if the Mews / Zenchef integration also allows for payment / credit card guarantees of reservations, using the Stipe account associated with the Mews subscription. From what I can read in the integration documentation, this is not the case, but if a community member has a solution, I would be extremely grateful for advice.

Personalisierung der automatischen E-Mails (Anrede)

Hallo zusammen,wir möchten in MEWS automatisierte E-Mails an unsere Gäste senden und dabei die Anrede personalisieren. Die Herausforderung:MEWS stellt {titlePrefix} bereit (z. B. „Herr“ oder „Frau“), aber es gibt keine direkte Möglichkeit, die grammatikalisch korrekte Anrede („Sehr geehrter Herr“ vs. „Sehr geehrte Frau“) dynamisch anzupassen. Bisher funktioniert nur eine geschlechtsneutrale Variante („Sehr geehrte/r {titlePrefix} {name}“), was nicht ideal ist.Hat jemand einen Workaround oder eine kreative Lösung, um dies korrekt umzusetzen?

Testing within operational environment

Good afternoon Mews addicts :)I have another question that came to mind. What is the workflow for enabling testing within the operational environment? Certain things are not possible in the demo environment without invoicing the rooms each time. How do you handle this when you want to perform a valid test (without using the demo environment, which doesn’t have an email client attached)?Thank you in advance for your responsesWarm regardsPierrick RobynHotel Pavillon Du ZouteKnokke-Heist (Belgium)

Travel agencies / commission

Good morning y’all!I was wondering if it’s possible, when setting up a travel agency, to calculate the commission only on amounts excluding VAT and solely on the room prices. Afterward, I want to be able to see the commission amount on the invoice. The issue is that I’m not sure how to approach this. Is there anyone who has worked out a practical example and might be willing to share it? That would be great. Thank you!Warm regardsPierrick RobynHotel Pavillon Du ZouteKnokke-Heist (Belgium)

2 Night MLOS, with Auto-Release?

So, this should be fairly straightforward however does not seem to be playing ball with me and its now becoming quite annoying. What I need to set is a 2-night minimum length of stay for a Saturday, that effectively ‘lifts’ on Thursday to allow one night stays. It is currently set as this:which according to help articles etc says that this will apply a minimum 2 night restriction if the guest is booking more than 3 days in advance, but not apply restriction if less than 3 days in advance? Am I misunderstanding? as all that happens with this is it stops anyone booking any stay that is includes a Saturday no matter how long in advance they book and closes channel managers for Saturdays entirely. If i switch this round and do Minimum 3 days advance then it works as MLOS for Saturdays on channel managers but then doesnt allow saturdays to book one night on the day?

Why can't I schedule this report export schedule?

Mews is not allowing me to schedule this export- it resets the configuration and asks for an interval. Is it the size of the export? Mews doesn’t provide any report that shows market segmentation, by day, so the only way for us to create a segment level report is using the reservation level details.

Namenänderung bei Mehrfachbuchungen

Hallo zusammenwir haben das Problem, wenn wir mehrere Zimmer gleichzeitig buchen, sei es eine Gruppe oder jemand bucht für mehrere Firmenmitarbeiter, bleibt der Name des Buchenden für Angebot, Bestätigung, Rechnung etc. fix, auch wenn wir die Gastnamen bei "Gruppen" anpassen. Genauer gesagt, wenn z.B. Muster Max 10 Zimmer bucht und ich dann für jedes Zimmer einen anderen Namen eingebe, erscheint auf der Rechnung unter jeder Zimmernummer Muster Max, wie auch in der "Buchungsübersicht".Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dies zu ändern?Herzlichen Dank für eure Ideen.

Developer user access

Our developer has requested access to our Mews account in order to figure out how to set up the code to embed and activate the Booking Engine. I am looked at individual user permissions and what access rights to give him, but can’t really figure out which would be relevant and necessary for him? We don’t wasn’t to provide more access than necessary.  Thank you for all help!

Edition de facture avec consommations au bar masquées

Bonjour, j’ai vu que pour imprimer les factures au moment du check out  nous avons 3 types de choix/options possiblethe default Detailed overview, and additionally Overview by date, Overview by reservation,par contre aucune de ces options ne permet de masquer le détail des consommations au bar que le client aurait pu avoir. Par exemple une note pour notre restaurant :RESTAURANT (point de vente):cocktail champagne 18€ Menu du marché 35€ 2 verres de vin 24€Comment faire pour regrouper en 1 ligne les consommations de notre point de vente restaurant avec un global de 77€? je sais que la TVA sera ventilée à 20% pour les alcools mais les clients demandent souvent 1 seul ligne globale.Merci pour votre aide.

Confirmation mode ("do not send" and "send") for booking confirmation and quotation

Hello everyone,we've noticed that when creating a reservation, on the “Details” page, the confirmation mode defaults to “Do not send”. By changing the reservation status (to Requested or Optional) or even back to Confirmed, the confirmation mode automatically changes from “Do not send” to “Send”. This can be a source of error if the person making the reservation doesn't notice it. I think it would be preferable for the confirmation mode to default to “Do not send”, and for the person making the reservation to change it manually if necessary. what do you think?

Confirmation e-mail or quote sent to customer when agency booking

Hello everyone,we have encountered a small problem with customers who received booking confirmations and quotes (with rates) when they were travel agency bookings. customers were able to confirm and cancel these bookings directly from Mews Guest Portal. While it is clearly stated in the configuration of e-mail sending parameters, in the first remark: “Mews does not send e-mails to the recipient's address if it is not that of the company or travel agency associated with the booking.”but it seems that this rule is not applied. can you explain?

How to check for past guests in a specific room?

Hi I tried searching for similar questions, but couldn’t find anything. The team here got curious about how we can check for past guests in specific rooms. We were wondering e.g. who was in room 202 yesterday, in the case that their reservation was moved to another room or cancelled. I suppose that is shown on the guest’s action log, but the rooms don’t seem to have a similar action log where that is accessible. There is a ‘Recent space changes’ option, but that doesn’t show past guests. In our case, we don’t know who was the guest that was in 202 - that’s what we’re trying to find out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Mews Booking Engine- Multi Property

Hello MEWS Community, We are working on customizing the multi-property MEWS booking engine for our websites, which are linked to two PMS systems. We manage two adjacent MEWS properties (though technically with different addresses) and would like to adjust the following elements:                1.            Remove the Address: Is it possible to hide the address field entirely from the                                booking engine?                2.            Change Property Names in Booking Engine Only:                •             Wilmina Hotel → renamed to Hotel                •             Carlotta Apartments → renamed to ApartmentsWe’d like these name changes to apply exclusively to the booking engine without affecting other parts of the system. Alternatively, would it be feasible to overwrite specific elements of the booking engine using custom JSON code? We would greatly appreciate any guidance, tips, or suggestions from those who have tackled similar customization challenges. T

Breakfast value on invoice

Hi all.I hope you're doing well.I have a question that I hope you can assist me with.Currently, all of our rates across all properties include breakfast. However, the issue is that the breakfast product does not appear on the bills/invoices. While the breakfast is included at no additional cost (listed as 0 DKK), it does have a value of 119 DKK (incl. tax) if purchased separately—such as when a guest invites a non-staying person to join them for breakfast.Our corporate clients have been reaching out to request that the breakfast product, along with its value and tax breakdown, is visible on their invoices for accounting purposes.Is there a way to display the breakfast item on the invoices, showing its value of 119 DKK (incl. tax), without impacting the total price of the stay?I hope this makes sense, and I look forward to hearing your suggestions.Regards

Merging company profiles

When we started with Mews we uploaded the import file with the already existing company profiles from our old PMS, and it contained a whole bunch of double data so I’m trying to merge the company profiles. Unfortunately I often have the case that one profile has the address, the other doesn’t, and when I want to merge both profiles I don’t see the address information, so I am never really sure which one to keep and which one not, but merging them does not mean the address will be updated and it happens that when I pick the wrong one, the address is just gone. Does anyone have any tips to handle this as uncomplicated as possible? :)

Due date on sent invoices

Good afternoon,I am currently seeking clarification on how to display the invoice due date on an invoice. I have not been able to locate a relevant article in the Mews Help documentation.From my understanding, there are two settings that determine the due date:The financial settings, which I believe serve as a general default for the property. The company profile, which follows the terms specified in the contract.If no due date is specified within the company profile, I assume the system defaults to the property's general setting. Additionally, I presume that the due date is calculated based on the invoice issue date.I would appreciate any further guidance you can provide.Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Cancellation Charge Date

Currently MEWS charges cancellation fees on the day of cancellation when automatically applied - is there any way to have this set so it charges on the intended day of arrival instead to keep revenue in the relevant day?
