Property Operations & PMS

Property Operations and PMS: this is the forum for posting your ideas and comments on all aspects of hotel operations, from reservations to events to metrics and reports. You'll find a category here for each of the major topics in property management, and if you can't find the right category, please search or post to the Other category. Where we can, we'll move ideas around to group them as intuitively as possible for the product managers working on the PMS.

Please keep in mind that there is a separate forum for topics specific to the operations of hotel chains and groups. Go to the Multi-property management forum for anything about portfolio management or rate, product, package and restriction functionality across multiple properties.

  3. When a guest has paid, an email with the receipt should be automatically created and sent if the profile has an email attached.

    This would save some clicks and also save the environment by not printing (you can just say - the receipt is already sent to you by email :))

  8. It would be good that the bills that are in the Company Profile billing showed whether the reservation is 'Past', 'Future' or 'Checked in' so it is easier to issue invoices to big OTA providers like AirBnb, which have many bookings assigned at the same time. Currently you have to open and check every single bill.

    This could show the same way the 'Items: 1' tab does.

    Hello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion, we have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community. Remember you can share a link to your request so that your colleagues can also upvote your suggestion.

  9. Gift vouchers allow your customers to share their appreciation for a brand with others. These prepaid vouchers can be used for purchases at the establishment, both in-person and online.

    Once a gift voucher is sold, the amount is stored in the transaction records. Upon a guest's stay at the establishment, the gift voucher is redeemed on the arrival date. Often, only a portion of the voucher's value is redeemed. This process should be straightforward and automated to minimize manual tasks at the front desk.

    The establishment requires a report detailing the vouchers sold, those consumed, and those fully or partially…

  10. This functionality is to create a tax exempt on the bill after the items was charged. This functionality is used often in first nation hotel. They have access to tax exempt number that they can show to the Hotel. Those exemption is apply on very specific circonstance, per example the hotel is located in a first nation territory. This option is interesting reducing the number of products create to be able to support the tax exempt.

    I have a reservation for mr Smith

  11. Hello,

    When we have a paymaster account and the customer has several bills linked to his account, we change the name of the bill, but they are not placed in alphabetical order, is it possible to do this? and/or have the option to drag and drop the order of them?

    When we choose sort by month, it only changes the order in each bill, it would have been nice to have an alternative where we can sort everything on one customer by month, even if it is in different bills. Just need it for a better overview.

  12. As our property mostly sell packaged products we are missing the possibility to package a product with multiple items which then ..
    - could be sold as an enhancement to stay
    - be billed directly by frontoffice without having team remember all components

    In addition it would be desireble to set a product for sale specific period or days only.

    Example: Would love to sell a Christmas Lunch composed by Food & beverage items for stay 25 December without having to create a separate Stay package.

  13. According to STR guidelines, no-show revenue should be included in room revenue when other cancellation revenue not.

    Cancellation fee has different VAT in the Netherlands than no-show (no show is 9% when cancellation fee is 0%).

    9% is hard coded in mews and therefore impossible to separate (using automatic posting)

  14. Dear Team,

    This function work super for a Breakfast List as an overview.

    May I recommend:

    1) We are able to print this report for our Kitchen Team as well for our Breakfast Team. They unfortunately do not use MEWS.
    2) Would there be an option to add the Guests "Customer Notes" there we add under the F&B Notes, if the Guest if allergic to anything for example.

    Thank you in advanced.

    Kind Regards,

    Amit

  15. In the account ledger, Strawberry bonus withdrawals must be sorted with past due billings first. Now it is all mixed, making it time consuming to close the past bills.
    Also it would be helpful if you expand the bills, it did not collapse everytime you close one bill.
    Last, when closing a bill you automatically go back to the top, not staying wherever you were working in the account.

  16. We work in a multi currency environment (BRUSSELS). We accept CHF and EUR + others. However when we click in the billing tab on "cash payment" it will automatically jump on CHF which creates a lot of human mistakes as obviously most payments here are made in EUR. We should have the option to put an order on the different currencies and not have them appear chronologically.

  20. Management Accounting Software enables co-ownership management models where portions of an entire operation (Resort, Hotel, etc.) have different owners. The operators are generally management companies who need to justify the business model and revenue and expenditures to the body corporate.

    Trust accounting while a visibly similar model, is further regulated and operates under a strict set of laws. The origin of modern Trust Accounting legislation as it pertains to the Accommodation industry was codified by the Queensland Government since the 1960s and has been largely replicated in regions and countries where legislation is expected.

    Within Australia, Trust Accounting is a…
