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. Currently, Mews does not allow users to transfer space categories to different bookable services; instead, users have to be manually recreated in the new service. It would be beneficial and useful if we could create a transfer process (Rates, Products included)

    1. Operational Efficiency

    • Eliminates the need for manual recreation of space categories, rates, and products, saving significant time for property managers.
    • Reduces human error during manual setup, ensuring consistency across services.

    2. Scalability and Flexibility

    • Makes it easier for hotels to reorganize or expand services (e.g., moving rooms from “Accommodation” to “Event Spaces”) without disrupting existing configurations.
    • Supports multi-service…

  2. It should be possible for a task to be created automatically if there is an outstanding balance in a reservation one day after departure.
    At the moment, it is only possible to create a control task. However, this task is also created if the balance is 0 one day after departure. Mews should first perform a check and then create a task only if the balance is not 0.

  3. We would like more granular control over billing automation.
    Currently, the system allows certain items to be moved automatically to other profiles or bills, which is helpful, but not sufficient for our operational needs.

    We are requesting the ability to:

    Select specific nights of a reservation and automatically route those charges to a different profile or bill.

    Select specific items (e.g., certain rate components or extras) to be billed to a separate profile or folio.

    This workflow exists in systems like Opera and OneQ (commonly used in Hilton hotels), where items can be assigned as:

    PM (Paymaster) – charges routed…

  4. der Durchschnittspreis im Verfügbarkeits und Belegungsbericht, mach leider keinen Sinn, weil hier werden einfach die Preise der einzelnen Kategorien addiert und dann durch die Anzahl der Kategorien geteilt. Wir haben haben viel mehr Standard Zimmer als Suiten. Somit ist der Preis nichtssagend. Außerdem ist er in der Belegung also auch in der Verfügbarkeit der selbe

  5. We found that some cancellation policy methods feel unclear to guests who book last-minute, and after reviewing the logic behind them, I can confirm that the behavior is due to a current system limitation. But it still needs to be fixed.
    One of the reservations was created on 11/5/2025 at 2:30:56 PM, and the system shows the following rules:
    • Confirmation: IDR 0.00, 50% (Standard Rate)
    • 60 days before check-in: IDR 0.00, 100% (Standard Rate)
    However, the confirmation email displays something completely different:
    • Cancellation after 11/5/2025 2:30:56 PM: fee of 50%
    • Cancellation after 9/18/2025 2:00:00 PM: fee…

  6. It would be very helpful if a percentage could be stored in the price hierarchy to specify the price difference between room types.

    When we merged two room types, the occupancy rate of the subordinate room category stopped being displayed, and it became impossible to adjust prices individually or override the price hierarchy.

    Therefore, we reversed the merger.

    An easy way could be to work with fixed percentages in the price hierarchy.

  7. Prevents Abuse and Overuse
    By reducing the time a single code remains active or capping its usage, we minimize the risk of widespread sharing and uncontrolled redemption.

    Protects Revenue Integrity
    The promotion remains aligned with its original budget and ROI expectations, avoiding unplanned discount leakage.

    Improves Operational Efficiency
    Automation removes the need for manual monitoring and intervention, reducing workload for staff and ensuring consistent enforcement.

    Enhances User Experience
    Clear rules and predictable expiration reduce confusion while maintaining fairness for legitimate users.

    Supports Dynamic Control
    The system can apply logic such as:

    -Maximum redemptions per code
    -Automatic generation of new codes…

  8. Description:
    A classification icon that is automatically added to the guest profile, when adding the guest's information - visible next to the guest's name in the dashboards, guest profile, timeline ect.

    Similar to the "female" icon or other classification icons like "returning", "staff" or "blocklist".

    This would help streamlining our operation, especially when dealing with groups like school/student groups as well as help identifying underage guests that booked individually (which is only possible under certain conditions to be in line with the law and requires different/additional steps upon check-in).

    Why This Matters:
    - better overview when dealing with groups
    -…

  9. Wenn Gäste online buchen & Zahlen, wird eine Rechnung (Rechnungsnummer X) erstellt. Wenn der Gast dann eincheckt, wird nach Rechnungsstellung eine "Zahlung" erstellt mit einer neuen Rechnungsnummer. Dadurch gibt es extrem viele Rechnungsnummern, was es für die Finanzbuchhaltung sehr unübersichtlich macht. Kann man Rechnungen / Anzahlungen & Zahlungen sinnvoll kennzeichnen? Können Gutschriften dementsprechend als "Gutschrift" gekennzeichnet werden.

  10. Idea:

    It would be extremely useful to introduce two new restriction options that control rate availability based on room count – both on the reservation level and the daily inventory level. These are different use cases but equally important for pricing strategies.

    • Reservation-based restriction: Min/Max rooms per booking What we need:

    A setting that makes a rate bookable only from X rooms or only up to X rooms within one reservation.

    Why:

    Group rates: Should appear only when a reservation contains at least 10 rooms.

    Promo / early bird / code rates: Should be limited to a small number of…

  11. When adding multiple quantities of the same additional service product to an open bill, the display is different depending on the quantity selected when adding the product.
    - When I input a quantity of 10 or less of the product, the open bill shows each individual product as an individual line on the open bill.
    - When I input a quantity of more than 10 of the product, the open bill shows one line that groups all those products.
    Property would like that one grouped line is displayed on the open bill regardless of the quantity, as this makes it…

  12. Dear MEWS Team,

    I would like to share a suggestion regarding the Timeline view, which has a huge yet unexpressed potential.

    While visually clean, it does not leverage one of the most powerful tools for operational efficiency: colour-coding.

    Color can instantly convey information that, otherwise, requires opening each booking or navigating multiple sections. Introducing colour indicators directly on the Timeline could transform it into a true operational dashboard, providing immediate, high-impact insights for the front office and reservations teams.

    Here are some examples of what colour-coding could highlight:
    • Payment Status (e.g., prepaid, pending, partially paid, failed)
    • Booking Source…

  13. Sería de gran ayuda un permiso de Usuario que permita saltar restricciones de tarifas a la hora de introducir reservas.

    En nuestro caso trabajamos con tarifas que están limitadas por mínimas y máximas estancias de x noches. Y en ocasiones tenemos que hacer excepciones para prolongaciones de clientes.

    Así que nos vemos obligados a quitar la restricción para poder introducir la reserva, y volver a ponerla.

    Esto se solucionaría con un permiso para saltar restricciones.

    Saludos,

  14. I’m missing a proper script for check-in at the reception, which would make the process more structured and consistent, while ensuring that important steps are not overlooked.

    I imagine a button such as “Auto Check-In”, which would clearly guide the staff through the following steps:

    Settle or verify the guest folio if not already done

    Check and acknowledge the guest’s loyalty membership status, or invite them to join the program

    Offer upselling or room upgrades

    Generate the key

    Confirm check-in completion

    As I see it, this would ensure that all critical steps are followed and that the process is handled…

  17. Smaller hotels in our chain would like to be able to send newsletters to specific groups of guests, and having a mail template to adjust between seasons and campaign would be a simple way to handle this locally at the hotel.

  18. We see the need for being able to set accounting categories as inactive. As for today, they must be marked as "do not use" or similar to avoid linking them to products etc. This causes issues for the ERP systems.

    We can't delete these categories entirely because they may be linked to past transactions and need to be kept for auditing and historical purposes.

  19. Two customer scenarios highlight gaps in the current product setup:

    Per-person products/fees (e.g., spa/massage): For spaces that accommodate multiple guests (e.g., a villa for 12), only some may use a service (e.g., 4 guests want a spa). Currently, there’s no way to select a quantity per product for partial occupancy.

    Pet fees: Customers want to charge per pet (e.g., $30 per dog) and allow multiple pets to be added. Currently, the only workaround is creating separate products for each pet count (e.g., “Pet Fee – 1 dog” $30, “Pet Fee – 2 dogs” $60), which is cumbersome.

    Request: Add flexibility…

  20. Guest in House report: Sorting out the order by Room Number. now it is possible only by using spaces which doesn't put the list in practical order. Would be nice to get the report out ordering by room number so its easier for the breakfast staff to read the report
