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. Add total occupancy for each day at the bottom of the Timeline so we can quickly see how many people are staying. Wouldnt need to click around with reports if it just did a simple totalling sum, the old Hotel Perfect had that and was extreemly useful.

  2. If you pull the reservation report by revenue, only the Rooms revenue is shown; not additional revenue from POS or spa system etc.. Therefore, it is not possible to create a top turnover overview that shows the total turnover generated by a guest.
    It would therefore be very desirable to be able to export the entire turnover including all additional turnover, e.g. in order to be able to create an A, B, C lists or Top 50 Producers.

  3. When moving an already checked-in reservation at the timeline, there should be a pop up or similar to alert you that you are moving an already checked-in reservation and if you are sure you want to do that. We have had multiple accidents when we have moved a guest who has been checked in and then later we changed some room arrangements for other same day arrivals. This is also because the color for the checked-in reservations is just slightly darker grey which is very easy to miss.

  4. When the reception team takes a direct booking and pick up a rate, it should note which products are included. Firstly, when looking at the individual rates – where it notes the R/O cost and products e.g. +£16 – it should note what these products are. Secondly, once it is picked up, in the reservation summary, it displays the rate code e.g. ‘BB’ – but it should also note the summary of the products within it.

  5. When creating a task, the task looks ordered and systematic with spaces between the different points and can even be numbered. But when printing the list, all spaces and numbering is gone and its all just one long sentence. Would be very helpful to have the printed list to look like the actual task description.

  6. When printing out regcards via reservation overview report, the report sorting parameters do not influence the actual order the regcards are printed in !

    This makes us lose a lot of time, having to sort all the reservation cards by hand !

  7. When there is a reservation that cannot be allocated and we fix the issue and leave the space available for it, it would be helpful to have an "allocation button" to just allow Mews to try once again to allocate those reservations in the red overbooked area, instead of allocating them manually one by one, and without having to use the Optimize Space Allocation button in the timeline (which could move other reservations that are not locked in place).

  8. Add a field onto the reservation to enter a free format travel agent voucher number issued for billing purposes and to be able to print this voucher number onto the guest bill. This as we need to issue invoices for TMC's that include the voucher number to be approved for payments.

    We electronically transfer the data via the API for all these invoiced bill directly to the TMC's for them to electronically process via their OCR system to issue payments. Using billing notes, users to tend to add additional information causing the process to fail.

  9. If we are placing a room OOO it would be great for the system to automatically move the future reservations overlapping without having to manually move each reservation manually.

  10. Dans la partie de droite de la réservation, il sera plus facile de lire les produits s'ils étaient regroupés en une ligne. Pour des longs séjours la liste des produits est vite beaucoup trop longue.
    Par exemple au lieu d'avoir 9 lignes avec 1 produit, avoir 1 ligne avec les 9 produits

  11. It would be great if the line between 2 room types could be made ticker.
    Now it's sometimes difficult to distinguish the line between 2 rooms.

  12. While using a space in space set up, but NOT using different reservations in that space, it is now not possible to process a late check out for only one space. This is inconvenient, since in practice it happens that only one space needs a late check out and not the whole room/all spaces.

    Our example: We have 2-room apartments that are a combination of 2 separate rooms, combined with a connecting door. The 2-room apartments can be booked separately, or as a 2-room apartment by for example a family. In the case of the family, the 2-room apartment is…

  15. Once a guest purchases an additional product (wine, airport transfer etc.) along with making a room reservation, the Reservations department gets an automatic task.
    As the Front Desk is the department taking care of organising this, it would be useful if you could choose to which department these tasks get assigned to.

  16. Ability to add attachments (photos/documents) to tasks. This is critical for Maintenance and Housekeeping operations as the assignee will be able to see exactly what/where the issue is. In addition, if this element is used for management to assign, track and review team tasks, the ability to add blueprints, schematics, schedules, etc. for maintenance is necessary.

  17. Option to minimalize a reservation (for example keep it in the right bottom of the timeline). It could allow you to continue with other tasks and than later on get back to the reservation/booking that you were working on. It could also be a reminder for yourself that you need to follow up on that certain reservation.

  18. We are trying to remove the unit number from a provisional booking but don't seem to be able to do so. this is something you are able to do with a confirmed booking. any chance this feature can be enabled for optional bookings too?

  19. I really liked the old timeline where you could zoom in and out using the mouse wheel.

    It's nice that you can scroll the timeline using the mouse wheel now.

    My suggestion would be:
    Holding the macOS Command or Option or Control key + mouse wheel --> you can zoom in and out on the timeline.

    Same with Windows, probably simply the Control key + mouse wheel.

    With this, zooming in and out would be much simpler than it is right now.

  20. Sometimes clients book 2 consecutive nights through 2 different means. It would help the communication with housekeeping if the reception was able to "link" the 2 reservations together so it is clear that the same person stays in the room. Additionally, it would be helpful to have an automatic detection of this kind of things, like a notification warning us that a reservation has been made with a similar name a day before or after.
