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. It would be great to have a way to visually identify which members belong to the same group within the timeline and check-in screen.

    For example, groups could be represented through color coding, icons, or visual markers. This would make it immediately clear at a glance who belongs together, without having to check details or hover over tooltips.

    Possible approaches could include:

    Assigning a unique color to each group (e.g. pastel backgrounds or small colored indicators).

    Adding group icons or symbols next to each member’s name.

    Displaying group borders or headers to clearly separate teams or related entries.

  2. Inventory on products should be possible. For instance limit a certain product such as pet to only x number sold pr. day.
    As of now we have to close an entire product for all dates if this is sold out on one date.
    This is causing loss of potential revenue as well as poor service for the guests.

  3. Automatic availability rules that help hotels manage inventory more efficiently and prevent overselling—without requiring constant manual updates.


    What Problem Does This Solve?

    Right now, hotels must manually monitor room availability and apply restrictions (like closing rates or adding minimum length of stay).

    This can lead to:

    • Overselling during high‑demand periods
    • Losing control of the total hotel inventory
    • Last‑minute rate changes
    • Extra workload for revenue and front‑office teams

    🎯 What We’re Requesting

    We’d like Mews to offer automatic rules that trigger when availability reaches certain thresholds.

    These rules would look at:
    ✔️ Room type availability
    ✔️ Total hotel availability
    ✔️…

  4. Issue Description

    In group reservations, the rooming list template does not indicate which rooms include children or infants. All rooms appear identical in the Excel file, even when only some rooms are booked as adults + children.

    For large groups (100–400 rooms), this makes it very difficult to know where to enter children data without manual cross-checks.

    Request

    Please add a pre-filled column in the rooming list showing the age category / classification (e.g. Adult, Child, Infant) per room or per guest.
    This would allow hotels to clearly identify rooms with minors and correctly complete the rooming list.

  5. To enhance the visibility and usability of the loyalty program interface by introducing tier-based color differentiation for the loyalty icon. This change aims to improve user experience for both guests and staff by making member status instantly recognizable. This would help the staff members to quickly identify loyalty tier during check-in or service interactions, members would feel more recognized and valued.

  6. We work extensively with product rules in Mews and have encountered a recurring challenge: the inability to define a start and end date for product rules. This limitation creates significant complications, particularly when we need to add or replace products in existing rules.

    The Issue:

    When a product is added to an existing product rule, it is automatically applied to all future reservations, including those that were created before the change but have not yet been checked in. This means that even though a reservation was made under the old rule, the updated product is applied at check-in, changing the…

  7. Currently, Mews only automatically assigns the company profile to a reservation if the guest selects the specific corporate rate linked to the voucher. However, when a guest uses a voucher but chooses a public rate (e.g., “Website Promo”), the company profile is not automatically applied. This results in extra manual work and potential errors in billing and reporting.
    Why is this important?

    Ensures accurate billing and reporting for corporate bookings.
    Reduces manual intervention and the risk of human error.
    Improves efficiency for both hotel staff and corporate clients.
    Suggested Solution:

    We propose that Mews automatically assigns the company profile to…

  8. Description:
    Currently, when adjusting the number of guests in a reservation, Mews either:

    Keeps the total price unchanged (with "Keep old price" ticked), deducting additional product charges (e.g., city tax, breakfast, or other per-person fees) from the accommodation rate—distorting the original pricing structure.
    Recalculates the total price (with "Keep old price" unticked), updating the room rate to the current pricing, which can lead to unjustified price increases for guests if rates have changed since booking.

    The Problem:
    There is no automated way to:

    Preserve the original nightly rate (as agreed upon at booking).
    Recalculate and add all per-person product charges…

  9. Double room supplement
    It is recommended that the double room supplement is shown separately from the single price on the invoice. This is particularly advantageous for business travellers who are travelling with a companion and require a separate invoice.

    Doppelzimmerzuschlag
    Es wird empfohlen, den Doppelzimmerzuschlag separat vom Einzelpreis auf der Rechnung darzustellen. Dies ist insbesondere für Geschäftsreisende vorteilhaft, die in Begleitung anreisen und eine separate Rechnung benötigen.

  10. Our operations and guest experience would be so much smoother if tasks were automatically assigned to a specified department when a product is added! Product options currently only automatically assign tasks if a product is added during online check-in. This should be an option when a product is added during any step of the guest journey - either by the guest or by the reservations specialist.

  11. It would be very useful to be able to separate (1) the permission to charge a credit card online or via Mews Terminal and (2) the permission to refund (partially or all) a payment via a tokenized credit card for a given user (or a given group of user). For example front office agents should be able to charge a credit card online or via Mews Terminal but should not be permitted to make any refunds (which are to be restricted to a manager).

  12. When someone books more than one room online (no matter form which channel) it would be great if mews can merge the reservations together as a group to have a more clear overview that it is several rooms booked.

  15. We are a self check-in hotel, and we want to prevent last-minute reservations from being assigned to dirty rooms. Currently, the restriction for dirty rooms only applies at the check-in stage.

    Because there are not always staff onsite and we often receive last-minute reservations, this creates stress around guests booking rooms that are still marked as dirty. In these situations, guests are unable to check in, and there is no one available to assist them.

    Right now, this requires a lot of manual work to mark dirty rooms as Out of Order to prevent them from being rented.

    It would…

  16. Mobile amenities that are not part of the standard room equipment (e.g., extra beds, baby cots, diaper bins, children's stools, coffee/tea service, bathrobes) should be able to be managed centrally in Mews. Currently, mobile, limited-availability amenities cannot be centrally represented in Mews. Hotels are forced to work with external lists or manual coordination to track availability and usage. This leads to a lack of transparency regarding availability, double bookings, increased coordination efforts between reception and housekeeping, and potential guest dissatisfaction. We would like the ability to create mobile amenities centrally in Mews, manage them with a limited quantity, assign them…

  17. We work with a high number of AVAILABILITY BLOCKS (corporate Groups, Weddings, Event, etc.)

    Each AVAILABILITY BLOCKS is then booked through a SELFBOOKING ENGINE by the guests.

    We have a high number of CUSTOMIZED PRODUCTS for each EVENT, to be selfbooked by the guests of a certain AVAILABILITY BLOCK.

    We need a simple DROPDOWN to add Custom Bookable Products to each AVAILABILITY BLOCK and/or each SELFBOOKING ENGINE.

    We assume this is a rather undercomplex feature programming-wise.

    Thank you very much!

  18. We’d like you to review the check-in process for groups.

    • When we send the check-in online e-mail, only the owner receives the e-mail. This is not smooth for large groups. The solution might be to have a link or be able to send the online check-in e-mail to multiple addresses at the same time.

    • When we choose to upload a file, we find these problems:

      • If the customer is Spanish, there is no field to add the second last name or the ID support number
      • There is no field to add addresses

    So there is no valid process to finish…

    Nutzt den jemand? Würde mich brennend interessieren.
