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 billing. 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. If a customer has 3 bookings, 100€ per booking, and makes a payment of 50€ or even 150€, there is no automatic way to link that payment to an specific reservation.

    This is specially important in, for example, enterprise customers. For example, I make 3 reservations for three employees:
    - Booking nº1 for today= 100€. Paid in advance 10% (10€)
    - Booking nº2 for next monday = 100€. Paid in advance 10% (10€)
    - Booking nº3 for next month= 100€. Paid in advance 10% (10€)

    So, payment in advanced 30€. At the check in, you may ask one employee to…

  3. it would be great if you would be able to filter the availability report per space category - when you have several space categories, you are not able to see everything on the one screen and are not able to see the space category or date when scrolling further to the right on the time line

  4. We have more than enough of different kinds of stay items for halfboard and other food peroducts. Could you give us a saved report to print all items used only on one report? I mean as we use the operations/product report but we could have a fixed report to show all halfboard items and breakfast and special dinners? Like a food and beverages report. Please.

    Hello,

    I’m happy to announce that it is now possible to create multiple bookable services in Mews and start offering offices, meeting rooms, desks or parking spots to your guests.

    There is a dedicated timeline and reporting for each new service. Services can be offered on daily or overnight basis.

    The process of creation of new bookable services is described in these two guides:

    https://mews.force.com/s/article/create-new-bookable-services?language=en_US

    https://mews.force.com/s/article/set-up-a-bookable-service?language=en_US&Language=en_US

    Best regards,

    Martin Kucera
    Product manager

  6. Display future reservations on the dashboard in the reservations block. Currently you have to run a report choosing the booking date to find the next reservation. It would be very helpful to see who's coming next, even if it's in a few days.

  7. Add a remove/delete option for the items you add in the billing section. Rigth now the only option to remove/delete it is to post another item/service/product (in negative).

  8. It would be useful to have a mail template to be sent a few days before the guest arrival, as a reminder, but also to let them have directions to the hotel, useful info regarding events during their stay etc.

    Hi Mewsers!
    We have template called “Before start” which is automatically sent 48 hours before the guest’s arrival.

    This template is partially customizable. You can customize Subject, Headline, and Paragraph. (please see the attachment)

    Find more about the customization of our e-mails in our guide:https://help.mews.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001840877.

    Have a great day,

  9. In Manager Analytics when selecting a specific Space Category type, the occupancy percentage will be shown based on the total number of rooms within this category only.

    Is it possible to implement a way to see the occupancy of the selected category based on the total number of rooms in the property?

    This is useful for hotels to calculate the RevPar afterward.
    Thank you!

    Hello from the Mews product team.

    We have released an update for getting insights per space categories. Please check out our release notes – https://releases.mews.com.

    With that release, we have adjusted the behaviour to match your request.

    Thank you again for sharing your idea!

  10. Include on the Mailing list a message to send to customers that had the credit card transaction declined. The mail is to inform them that the credit card transaction for the payment of the booking has been declined and asking them to update the credit card information within 24 hours to avoid the cancelation of the booking. Include on the mail a link where the customer can access their profile and update the payment information.

  11. Report that separates OTA's by 'Multiple Selected Travel Agencies'

    Meaning, we can pull a report for all revenue from all booking and also a report for just OTA'S (Not Brand Website), with a percentage against all bookings

    Hello Jodie,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. You are currently able to group by “Reservation source” in the reservations report in order to see a list of all reservations separated by OTA. If you view the report in “Totals” mode, you will be able to view the percentage of reservations from each OTA.

    In order to view the report separated by travel agencies, you can select the filter group by “Travel agency”. If the report is “Totals” mode you will be able to see a breakdown of revenue from each agency as well as a breakdown of a percentage against the bookings.

    You can find out more about this functionality in the guide linked below:

    https://intercom.help/mews-systems/en/articles/4647975-track-multiple-reservation-sources

    If the above does not assist you with your request, please do let us know.

  12. It would be useful if a check / select box can be added next to an individual date range in a reservation rather than selecting/deselecting the whole reservation block with all the dates booked.
    If one of the dates ranges room type need to changed for example I do not have to select it all one by one, time consuming if it is a group booking of 40 rooms per day

  13. These filter does not provide enough detail to inform you where your guest's are arriving from.
    It would be very helpful to have the Reservation Report include the City and Country details for the guest. Where the guests are from can often be a conversation starter for the front desk staff, especially if they have travel experience/knowledge.
    Also, at this time of COVID, it is also helpful to know if the guest is from a locked down or red zone area.
    Suggestion: Have the City and Country fields from the Customer Profile display on the Reservation Report.

    Hello from the Mews product team,

    We are so pleased to let you know that your feature request partially exists. If you export Reservation report, you will be able to see country. Also, Customer statistics report can be grouped by nationality in Mews directly.

    As per the city, this request has not received the necessary upvotes to be added to the Mews development roadmap and is unlikely to be delivered.

    Thank you again for sharing your idea!

  15. It would be very useful to have an occupancy report/overview of all the groups per stay day / per status. Then a second layer on picked up vs non picked up rooms per group. To determine wash and create accurate forecasting.

  17. We need that in a reservation from an specific travel agency all its charges automatically goes to the company bill (or the paymaster of this company), so the balance in the guest account is 0. Some travel agencies charges themselves to the guest and manually we have to move the charges to the company bill or the paymaster of this company, so it does not allow to work with properties with reduced staff and automatic kiosk check-in (as the balance of the guest will not be 0, but the the guest has already payed to the travel agency)

    Hello Mewsers,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

    We are very happy to inform you that Mews does not allow you to check a new guest in before the previous reservation was checked out.

  20. Split an existing restriction into 2 or copy.
    When I have a restriction on overall level for a whole year and I temporary need to remove that for 1 date (for example to make a group reservation) it would be useful to be able to split the existing restriction in 2 or simply make a copy and alter the dates.
