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 creating a new Availability block for a Group, provide a checkmark toggle that allows for booking out of general availability, rather than creating day by day by space category blocks.
    - There are times we provide "rate offers" to groups without any specific room type commitment at all, ie. We'll provide a floating 20% discount on any room types we have available, up until a specific booking cut-off date. There are times we may also offer commission on the rooms that book.

    Voucher codes do not really work for us in these situations either, as they are not fenced…

  2. Make cashlist the standard for every guest without (valid) credit card, instead of having to choose this manually to prevent guests from running away without paying.

  4. The room number tab column in the rooming list should be customisable as we have many operational issues with the room numbers appearing on it and clients expecting to have those rooms when they check in. We should be able to remove this column if not relevant.

  5. When creating a block and adding a "pod in a room" does not properly reduce the room pods available, looks like there is an issue with parent rooms. For example, if you hold an 8 pods in a 8 pod room, the 8 pod rooms appears as available online and in the system.

    This means that at the moment we can get overbookings if we do not load it as, , 8 pods in an 8 pod room AND one 8 pod room.

    We need the parent rooms to be fixed, currently we are loading the blocks and series as…

  6. It would be amazing if an invoice cannot be made if and when the billing details are not completed in the company profile. Now the employee from reservations already grants the 'invoiceable' privilage to a company so that the receptionist know they dont have to take deposit payment at check-in. however at check-out it is still required to complete the billing details, but then the invoice is already closed (as it is possible) and as it is not correctly checked, only with the invoicing check (sometimes days later) it is found that the billing details are missing.

  8. Include Invoice number and Space Number columns into Accounting Report, or include a standard column (i.e. booking number, invoice number, guest number or similar) in all reports (accounting report, posting journal, reservation report etc) so that the reports can actually be compared and linked between them easily without guessin gwhich guest name belongs to which transaction.

  9. In Mews the statistics are calculated using room / beds occupied and not by customer count.

    We'd like to be able to calculate all statistics in Mews reports & Analytics by customer. This could be achieved by adding a setting to use customer count.

    Average rate instead of calculated occupied rooms/revenue use customers/revenue
    Occupancy instead of calculating by occupied rooms/available rooms use customers occupying rooms/available rooms

    Hi Nick, 


    Thanks for posting this! We are looking into revamping how we calculate statistics in the future and will consider this enhancement at that point. Many thanks for your contribution and look forward to hearing more ideas from you!

  10. When a guest arrives and the room is not ready, it would be good to place the reservation into a Queue that would notify Housekeeping to prioritize this guest room cleaning. This might be an added icon that would put the reservation on top of the normal reservation cards on the arrival screen. The automation part would be to notify housekeeping that a reservation has been put into the queue and waiting.

  11. When creating a reservation the option "In Person" is too limited for us. We have quite a high number of reservations that are made at the desk for a future stay. Therefore we cannot see the difference between reservations made in advance and "Walk-Ins".

    Here an extra option: Walk-In would provide extra reporting and analysis opportunities.

  12. Wir benötigen einen Bericht, welcher täglich automatisch erstellt wird (Export-Zeitpläne) und welcher uns folgende Information gibt:

    1. einen Bericht mit Information: Zimmernummer + Anzahl Personen im Zimmer Weitere Informationen wie Namen oder Adresse dürfen aus Datenschutzgründen nicht auf dem Bericht stehen.

    Der Bericht wird am Abend erstellt und soll alle erwarteten und bereits
    eingecheckten Gäste auflisten.

    Dieser Bericht ist wichtig für den Ernstfall (Evakuierung) durch die Feuerwehr ö.ä.


    1. einen Bericht mit den Informationen: Zimmernummer, Namen, Anzahl Personen, Firma, Produkt Frühstück, Sortiert nach Gruppe.

    Diesen Bericht kann ich erstellen. Wenn ich ihn jedoch als Export-Zeitplan mir zusenden lasse, dann erscheinen zusätzliche Informationen,…

  13. We offer a 28% discount for stays of 7 nights plus as well as 30% discount when staying 29 nights plus.
    at the moment that means you have to set up different rates, which is not always ideal when working with a OTA or TOUR through your channel manager.
    is there anyway that this could be build in on Mews' side so that you are able to put in percentage discounts for certain lengths of stays (more than one per rate if possible)

  14. Once you have created a rate, you should be able to amend it and link it to a base rate. If you have already mapped it on your channel manager, you do not wish to delete it and restart, you just want to now link it to a base rate or change the base rate link

    Hello all,


    This status update is part of our ongoing work to simplify and streamline how our UserVoice feedback forum operates. We are reducing the number of statuses to two (Idea to Upvote + Released) to help manage expectations about where each idea stands and to minimize the number of status updates required from our product teams. Our product team reviews everything you share, and we might reach out for more info if we need it. 


    Thanks for your patience as we work to bring your ideas to life! You can learn more about the changes coming to UserVoice from this post in the Mews Community.

  16. I would like to be able to download the action log to excel. It will make it easier for me to control the work of the revenue manager who changes the prices. It would be good to be able to download this report automatically via exports ->schedules.

  17. In the action Logs, UTC is used to describe all actions, however this doesn't make sence for our propterty as we use CEST. Therefore we would suggest to use the time where a proptery is located instead of UTC so we don't need to manually calculate the changes each time.

  18. If the total of a bill is a negative number it should automatically be raised as a credit note instead of an invoice. We should not have to manually select that it is a credit note.

  20. One should be able to insert in the configuration the lowest rate to be typed when updating rates (BAR) so that no typing error can be made (for instance 9 instead of 99).
