Mews Kiosks are self-service kiosks that work on iPadOS and Android tablets. They help decrease manual front-office tasks, so that the staff can focus on the guest, while driving increased revenue through upsells and automatic early check-in fees. Mews Kiosks also shorten guest waiting times by providing a contact-free experience during check in and check out increasing guest satisfaction. If sustainability is one of your main goals, digital receipts and registration cards help minimize paper waste.
Additionally, with the Mews Kiosk you can:
- Easily set up the kiosk by scanning a QR code.
- Search for reservations by typing in the last name and the confirmation number or scanning a QR code.
- Customize required registration fields during check in.
- Add products or charge guests for early check in to increase additional revenue.
- Personalize the kiosk with your custom screensaver, images, and selecting a dark or light colour theme.
- Enable future direct communication with all guests including those booking through travel agencies, since check in requires the reservation owner email.
