Mews PMS and POS power true hospitality for Mercure Roeslare

With the addition of Mews POS to their Mews ecosystem, the busy Belgian business hotel is able to automate even more processes, giving staff time to focus on face-to-face engagement with guests.

Why it matters: Mercure Roeselare, located in a busy business area of Roeselare, Belgium, is a part of Accor’s Mercure Hotels brand. With 87 rooms, 10 meeting spaces, a restaurant open 6 days a week, and even a fitness center open to the community, their weekdays see hundreds of people coming through their doors every day. As a hotel committed to delivering a personal touch to every guest, General Manager Damien Janssens understands that value of powerful technology operating in the background.

Six hours saved per day through automation Near total automation with Mews POS, Mews PMS and integrations Seamless billing sending F&B charges to room digitally

Top 3 Core Objectives: “In an industry where human contact is more important than digital contact, having a platform like Mews that not only reduces time at a screen but also gives us more face time with guests is great." Damien Janssens - General Manager, Mercure Roeselare

Improved efficiency with MewsPOS: During Covid, when all food orders had to be ordered from the room and they were operating with a streamlined staff, Mercure Roeslare found itself needing a way to operate more efficiently so they could keep up with the needs from guests.
21st century streamlined ecosystem: Legacy PMS solutions are often difficult to learn and navigate, with complicated screens and processes that take up much of hotel staff’s time. On top of that, applications from different vendors can add strain and risk.
Seamless and secure payments: Payments can be a time-consuming and impersonal part of the guest journey, while hotels require every transaction to be secure and reliable.
