Why is housekeeping still so slow to innovate? 🧹💬 Housekeeping runs on speed and routine. That’s why new tech can feel like a threat, not help. According to Luka Berger, Founder and CEO of Flexkeeping, a Mews company, many housekeepers still stay loyal to pen and paper because: • They had bad experiences in the past • Force of habit and fear of change • New tools that don’t reflect the reality of their shift Here’s the full conversation on this between Luka and Matthijs Welle 👇 https://hubs.ly/Q03VpKbv0

🎯 Listening + shaping = future-forward hospitality. Last week, the Mews team met with our Customer Advisory Board to do one thing: listen. Thank you to everyone who joined. Mews moves faster when our customers lead the conversation. Here are 5 takeaways: 1️⃣ The priorities are clear: hoteliers, operators and guests want tech that removes friction, not another system to manage. 2️⃣ Diversity of thought matters: from student living to ultra luxury, from global brands to extended stay, the mix is where the real sparks came from. 3️⃣ Big questions are on the table: how brands stay discoverable in LLMs, how to scale without losing authenticity, how AI can support teams instead of replacing them. 4️⃣ Our north star is unchanged: frictionless tech, unified data and human centred hospitality. High tech where it helps, high touch where it counts. 5️⃣ The feedback is not parked in a file. It is already feeding into our 2026 roadmap and what we ship next. From here it's execution. We’ll share more concrete insights soon.

Hospitality isn’t just about rooms – it’s about relationships. 🤝 The new Skift x Mews report explores how hotels can unlock millions in untapped revenue by shifting focus from rooms sold to guests served. 📈 For decades, metrics like ADR and RevPAR have defined success. But as travelers seek experiences, flexibility and belonging, these room-first measures no longer capture the full picture of value. 💡 The report explores how guest-centric, community-focused strategies – from bookable experiences to local activations – are driving both profitability and loyalty. You’ll also discover how forward-thinking brands like Ennismore, Staypineapple and Strawberry are redefining what growth looks like in modern hospitality.
