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. 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 :))

  2. Option to Issue Pro Forma Invoices or Invoices with a Percentage Deposit Requirement for Booking Confirmation

    As we establish our group accommodation billing process, we've identified the need to issue pro forma invoices or invoices that specify a deposit amount—such as 33%—to confirm a booking. This functionality is particularly essential for group bookings, where securing reservations often requires a partial payment upfront.

    Currently, Mews does not provide the option to generate an invoice based on a percentage of the booking total. Instead, the system only allows invoicing for the entire amount, which can complicate transactions and discourage early booking confirmations.…

  3. Would be great if you have the option to set up the default view of your invoices instead of choosing a different one you want at every time you print an invoice

  4. 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.

  5. On bill > [+] Add Product > It would be useful to eventually add a "currency" field to change the currency of the product for those environments accepting multiple currencies.

    At this time, one has to create multiple products to reflect a distinct currency in their settings.

  6. Hello MEWS UserVoice Community,

    we urgently need a report for our company that clearly shows the turnover/revenue. The report should be generated daily at ~ 08:00 and ideally be sent automatically by e-mail to a fixed group of users. The following information must be visible on it:

    SALES BY OUTLETS
    - Hotel & Lodging
    - Gastronomy and its sub-outlets (restaurant, day bar, rooftop bar, banquet, etc.)
    - Wellness & Spa
    - Other

    REVENUE BY TIME (here using the example of gastronomy)
    - Breakfast
    - Lunch
    - Dinner

    SALES BY PRODUCT GROUPS (here using the example of gastronomy)
    - FOOD
    -…

  8. It is impossible to find a specific invoice if it is owned by a company with over 100 invoices attached. Guest names/references should show by default in the list.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  12. 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)

  13. It would be very helpful if you could put an extra column in the accounting ledger what the status is of this reservation. Every booking has the unresolved status even if they are still checked in. We would like to see if a booking is "past"before you click on it. Or only the reservations which are in the past have the unresolved status. Now we have a big list of reservations we have to click on first to see if it is in the past to close the bill.
    Thank you.

  15. On Expedia Collect and Airbnb bookings, the OTA collects the occupancy tax (city tax) and not the property. It therefore requires us to make some unfortunate accounting adjustments at the end of each month.

    We would need to be able to choose which taxes apply to Travel Agents.

  17. In Spain, where I reside, it is mandatory by law for an invoice to include a passport or ID to be valid. Currently, when a customer enters their passport information into the reservation system, it does not automatically populate on the invoice. This requires manual entry for each reservation, which is time-consuming and prone to errors with all the companies that at least work in Spain.

    Suggested Solution:

    It would be very helpful to have an automatic transfer of the passport information from the reservation system to the invoice field.

    Benefits:

    Improved Efficiency: Reduces manual work and saves time for

  18. When adding products from Billing - can you please make the top row static, so it doesn't disappear when you scroll down the list of products.
    Ideally you'd want to add all your products and then switch the Tab from the top to make any Additional changes, instead of scrolling back up.
    This will add some great ease of use quickly!

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
