AI workforce management for Mews hotels.
HotelCadence is a workforce management platform for hotels: it reads the reservation data already in Mews (via the open Mews Connector API, read-only) and turns it into hourly demand forecasts per department and auto-drafted rosters your managers approve. Hotels cut 6–12% of labor cost without cutting guest service — and nothing writes back into Mews.

Ho Chi Minh City, 140 rooms: housekeeping finally follows the departure wave
Vietnam led the region with a ~17% RevPAR surge in 2025, and weekend departure waves to match. This lifestyle hotel rostered housekeeping flat at 10 a day: quiet Wednesdays burned paid hours while Saturday's 14-person turn load ran on overtime and late rooms. The departure counts predicting all of it were already in Mews.

Read-only token · counts and dates only, no guest-identifying data · revocable in Mews at any time.
Issue a read-only token
Your Mews administrator creates a read-only access token scoped to the pilot properties, a ten-minute task in Mews, not an IT project. You can revoke it at any time.
Backfill and calibrate
HotelCadence pulls up to two years of Mews reservation history and calibrates hourly demand forecasts per department against your own actuals, so the forecast is proven before anyone rosters against it.
Go live and measure
Forecasts refresh as pickup changes, including short-lead OTA bookings, and draft rosters flag shifts that no longer match demand. Managers approve everything, and results are measured monthly against your agreed baseline.
Mews integration questions, answered
How long does a Mews integration take?
Your Mews administrator issues a read-only token in minutes; most of the setup is backfilling reservation history and calibrating the forecast against your actuals. Integration is included in the 90-day pilot (from US$7,500).
Is HotelCadence certified on the Mews Marketplace?
Certification listing is in progress. HotelCadence connects today through the open Mews Connector API, the same documented, token-scoped mechanism behind the 1,000+ integrations already on the Mews marketplace, so nothing about the connection waits on the listing.
We are mid-migration to Mews, should we wait until it is done?
No. We connect the migrated properties immediately and backfill history from your previous PMS export, so forecasts start with two years of context instead of two weeks. Groups often run the pilot alongside the migration to validate the new data.
Does HotelCadence write anything back into Mews?
No. The token is read-only and nothing is written back, rates, reservations and guest profiles in Mews are never touched. Forecasts and draft rosters live in HotelCadence, where your managers review and approve them.
Where does our data live, and what about guest privacy?
HotelCadence reads counts, dates, rates and segments, no guest-identifying data is needed for forecasting or scheduling. Hosting is in-region, with Singapore as the default APAC residency option.
Mews already shows occupancy reports, what does HotelCadence add?
Mews reports what the house looks like per day. Staffing needs demand per department, per hour: arrivals for the desk, departures for housekeeping, covers for breakfast. HotelCadence builds that layer from the Mews stream and turns it into a costed draft roster.
