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.

  1. I'm not sure whether it is a bug or the intended behaviour of Mews, however currently automatic deposit settlement doesn't work if automatic payment settlement is not turned on.
    This two things should be separated, we need automatic deposit settlement even when automatic payment settlement is not in use.

  3. There are blank space in accounting report in "Bill" and "Owner" columns, when the revenue/charge/deposit is on “unpaind items/deposit” bill. It makes it very difficult to find where item/charge is in the system

  5. When a cancellation fee is automatically posted on the guest bill due to late cancellation or no show, Mews takes into account the amount of the accommodation charge and all products (breakfast and city tax) together. In case of payment by booking.com virtual credit card, booking only allows us to charge the vcc for the accommodation and breakfast but never the city tax as it is always pay by the guest at the hotel. Is it therefore possibe to develop a functionnality in Mews that allows us to exclude the city tax product from the cancellation fee ? Example: accommodation…

  6. In every bill we’re not able to see which exact products have been charged. For example, for “Ski shop” items, we can’t know if they had skis and boots, or just a helmet, or if they added insurance. In order to see that, we have to use Bizzon in our tablets to see the detail. It would be very nice if we could see the detailed ticket or charge in Mews instead of having to search on Bizzon, as it makes us lose a lot of time.

  7. Properties would love the option to either package the bill as a whole line OR to have each line packaged per daily consumption therefore offering businesses that require it an itemized bill.

    -Current setup: Bill as Package
    1/23/24 to 1/25/24 Stay info total Price of "Night+Products+VAT"

    -Suggested additional setup: itemized Bill as a Package
    1/23/24 Stay info Price of "Night+Products+VAT"
    1/24/24 Stay info Price of "Night+Products+VAT"

  8. Outlet information should be split up based on Revenue and Payments in the Accounting Report to quickly see the total revenue of the day. This is similar to how Revenue and Payments are set for Revenue and Payments for transactions that take place inside the PMS.

  9. It is really difficult to refund the correct payment with the current config. I had a guest book about 5 reservations at the same time and then cancel one. To refund, I just had to guess which payment to refund, guessed wrong and had to move the payment. I would love to see the three dots that you use to refund on the payments tab to also be available on the billing tab.

  10. 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

  12. We have a lot of guest visiting from Belgium. Would be great if they could pay with Bankcontact and Sofort. We hear from a lot of guest that they would prefer to use this payment method.

  13. We want to have an option to block the entry of a free adjustment when adding a product to an invoice.

    This is to ensure that users only use predefined products to invoice/reimburse, so that accounting information is coherent.

    Indeed, by nature a free adjustment is not linked to a product and therefore not linked to a specific accounting category.

    What is the problematic use case?
    When we invoice/reimburse a product, our teams need to invoice an existing product so that the correct accounting category passes through our accounting interface (api).
    But users make the mistake of refunding a free…

  14. As of now, sometimes the balance is visible on the Smart Window and sometimes it is not. Usually the reservations that come from an OTA do not have the balance visible on the Smart Window, created the additional unnecessary steps of clicking to arrive at the Billing tab. Please do what needs to be done for ALL reservations, including OTAs, to have the balance visible on the Smart Window. Thank you!

  15. 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.

  16. In a previous version of MEWS, we could add a Company address which was then added to the Invoice. A guest would then request the name of a company in which they could then reclaim/issue to the company. This information was clear on the Invoice under "Customer".
    With a new update of MEWS, unfortunately this option has been taken away and there is now "Associated with". On the invoice, the "customer" is the Guests name and address and the company is now under "Associated with".

    In Germany, this an issue, as when Guests claim their expenses, the Invoice reads with…

  17. Hi,

    Mews implemented a new scrollbar in the middle for billing. I find this unnecessary as we already have a task bar. Visually it looks terrible and functionally it does nothing.

    I'm requesting to remove this feature.

  18. Exclude additional guests from being included in the statistics. Only consider the head guest for calculating the percentage of successful guest statistics. In cases where there are multiple people (e.g., 4 guests) in a room and they update their names, it's unlikely that we will have all the details for each individual. Therefore, the main or head guest is the crucial one to be recorded, currently, you are making it challenging for us to track the completion status for all head guests.

  19. At the moment, MEWS only has the option of "Overridable prices". It would be great to have a "Discount" option where we can apply certain discounts to items of the choice (in percentages that will reflect to the amount). Connected to this, a report for all discounts given would be a good addition.

  20. I like that bonus points are added to the accounting ledger. But I would very much like it to be updated so that these come chronologically by date. There will be a lot of scrolling to find the way when something is written there, you have not paid off because it is no longer shown on the guest's bill directly.
