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. Possibility to enable the use of specific Counters and Fiscal Printers only for some users/roles.

    Currently, the user must manually select the counter for the bill and the fiscal printer each time a document is issued. This leads to errors and makes issuing corrections very time-consuming. By allowing the assignment of which counters and fiscal printers a user or role is authorized to use, the overall user experience would be significantly improved.

  2. It would save a lot of time during check-outs as now we have to navigate back to the reservation screen or the check-out report to check the guest out after we've closed there bill. So it would be great to have an option right then and there when closing bills of departing guests.

  3. Proposal: Standardization of Reports

    Inconsistent Data Presentation:
    Reports are currently displaying different data sets.

    Varying Criteria:
    Not every report uses the same criteria to present data, leading to discrepancies.

    Divergent KPIs:
    As a result, each report shows different key performance indicators, depending on the data and criteria used.

    Risk of Misinterpretation:
    These inconsistencies can lead to confusion and may result in misleading statements or incorrect insights.

    Harmonized Reporting:
    My goal is to harmonize all reports so that every report shows the exact same data. Since all the data originates from the same source, there should be no discrepancies between reports.

  4. Proposal: Customize Stayover Room Cleaning Status Automation

    Currently, stayover rooms are automatically set to “dirty” or “uninspected” after one night. This default behavior creates unnecessary confusion for the housekeeping team and results in inefficient workflows.

    Key Issues:

    Unnecessary Cleaning:
    The system automatically changes every stayover room’s status to “dirty” or “uninspected,” which can lead to cleaning being performed even when the guest has not requested it.

    Inefficient Workflow:
    Housekeeping staff must spend extra time identifying which rooms require cleaning since all rooms are flagged automatically, without considering whether they are truly in need of service.

    Proposed Enhancements:

    Configurable Automation:
    Allow…

  5. Implement an improvement so that the payment related to outstanding invoices is displayed as in the payment tab of the customer profile (showing the invoice number that generated the account receivable), and not just the reference to the bill.

  6. It would be important to have the possibility to generate an alarm pop-up at check in.

    Often parcels, letters, messages have to be handed over, the director or supervisor should be called. Such messages make daily life much easier, but they are difficult or impossible to see in the property note or have to be actively searched for.

  8. When we check out guests at the reception, it would be helpful if we could easily display the invoice digitally to the guest before checkout. The idea would be a button that would send the invoice view to a permanently installed iPad/screen for the guest. For example, you could select the right or left screen, and the invoice would then appear there. This could be achieved via a browser window.

  9. We really appreciate if there will be possibility to specify age categories to two decimal places (e.g. babies 0-2.99, childrens 3-11.99). These logic is used by lots of OTA´s and we would like to set up our WBE by the same principal to be able to offer the same prices to our guest.

  10. CURRENT SYSTEM BEHAVIOUR:

    At present, if a guest attempts to modify a paid reservation through any channel — typically an OTA — the changes are not applied in Mews. Instead, we simply receive an email notification stating that Mews was unable to process the requested modifications and we are asked to implement the changes manually.

    This approach presents two significant issues:

    1.) In many cases, this restriction is unnecessary, as the modification does not impact the reservation's price. For instance, if a guest only updates their smoking preference or changes the name of the person staying at the hotel, it…

  11. We need the possibility to create a deposit on an availability block even if there is no reservation been picked up yet from the block.
    Often groups pay already a deposit but do not know the amount of reservations that need to be picked up, yet that deposit still needs to be posted somewhere.

  12. Show Rates connected to Segment. We have certain rates with certain segments. When creating a booking and so choosing a segment it should only show rates with that segment.

  13. For Mews to alert Users with Push Notifications and banners about Missed Check-ins - especially if certain logical/successive actions are taken on a specific arrival directly but the user never clicked on the C/I button.

  14. Hotels should be able to optimize space allocation by specific conditions or filters:

    -Check Out (make Hskp processes more efficient)
    -Group or family reservations
    -Floor/Bldg
    -Space Features/Preferences
    -By Length of Stay and floor selection

  15. Once the registration card has been completed on the tablet during check-in, it is not possible to add additional products. The message ‘Refresh to see our offers’ is displayed and it is not possible to proceed.

  16. i dont know why it is like this... That clients can’t access their invoice themselves. In fact, in Canada, it’s usually illegal not to send an invoice. Currently, account statements are not available in Mews.

    Also, in the pro forma invoice, the GST and QST numbers are missing, and taxes (including tax numbers) are extremely important in Quebec.

    In short, we need to:

    Provide access for clients to retrieve their invoices themselves.
    
    Include tax numbers everywhere and show a detailed breakdown of the taxes.
    
    Automate invoice delivery: when a client makes a reservation, they should receive either a link to

  17. We often have groups staying on the basis of bed & breakfast for the first night and a package deal from the second night onwards.

    We would like to be able to indicate in one reservation cq room, per night, which rate or rate group should be used. So not the PRICE, but actually select a specific rate type.

    Now we have to make two separate reservations, which is very confusing for our Housekeeping and Front Office.

  18. It would be great to have reports scheduled via email so that we can monitor multiple properties production / res made yesterday / manager flash via pdf quickly on an email instead of running each single report

  19. Right now a derived rate can only add a modifer to the parent for its base rate. It would be great if a derived rate could also have its own extra occupancy fee, modifiable from the parent's.

    For example, when deriving a breakfast included rate from a parent rate, one can not presently add a breakfast fee for any extra occupants on the derived rate which means two seperate parent rates have to be created and maintained limiting the usefullness of the derived rate concept.

  20. It would be great if MEWS had an option during build and for future changes, to allow a bulk upload or download of products within services for monitoring - currently updating prices, adding or removing products is laborious for properties and very time consuming; having the ability like guest profiles to upload and download would be much quicker and save a lot of time.
