Meiser Hotels uses Mews to power and innovate their 6th-generation business

About Meiser Hotels

Meiser Hotels is a sixth-generation family business with four Mews-powered properties across Germany. The group also runs several restaurants, event venues and a spa, catering to a mix of business and urban clientele. Their team prioritizes innovation and is committed to exceeding modern guest expectations.

In their pursuit of guest-centric technology, Meiser Hotels recognized Mews as a key partner, especially for its cloud-based functionality and innovative features. As of early 2024, the group completed their transition to Mews, realizing substantial time savings and operational efficiency. The move has helped them focus on what they do best: delivering remarkable guest experiences. 

Integrated operations with Mews POS

Challenge

The PMS and POS are two of the most essential tech systems in any property’s toolkit. With a strong focus on gastronomy, Meiser Hotels were eager to see how smoothly integrating these two systems could elevate their daily operations.

Solution

Implementing Mews POS has transformed guest interactions in Meiser Design Hotel’s restaurant and streamlined numerous processes. Restaurant charges are now automatically added to guests' room bills, eliminating manual entries and simplifying service with modern mobile technology. By participating in the pilot for on-reader tipping, Meiser Hotels found that 79% of Mews POS transactions included a tip.

Result

• One platform that brings together ePOS, digital ordering, inventory management and payments
• €10,000 in tips over six months, boosting employee morale and guest satisfaction 

Maximum payment efficiency, zero chargebacks

Challenge

Previously, staff had to manually reconcile all card payments after every shift.

Solution

Implementing Mews Payments across hotel and restaurant operations has created major time savings by automating everyday tasks. Staff can now spend more time interacting with guests and focusing on providing outstanding hospitality. They like how high levels of security and payment authentication reduce the likelihood of credit card fraud, while automation reduces manual errors. 

Result

• 2 hours saved daily per property through automated payment reconciliation
• Zero chargebacks since adopting Mews 

Simpler IT management with more focus on innovation

Challenge

For the IT team at Meiser Hotels, Mews has been transformative. Previously, they spent extensive time troubleshooting and maintaining the PMS.

Solution

With Mews, the IT team is free to focus on advancing technology at Meiser Hotels instead of troubleshooting. Now, they can prioritize building a seamless software suite that enhances guest experiences from booking to check-out. The tech-savvy team members especially value their involvement in the Mews Community, where they actively contribute to system development and feel like genuine partners in shaping the product’s future. 

Result

• PMS maintenance time has decreased by 80%
