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. Currently, MEWS allows only one due date per invoice, which creates challenges for businesses that require staged payments. Many hotels and event venues operate with structured payment terms where deposits and balances are due at different times.

    For example, a typical payment schedule might look like this:

    Upon Booking: A percentage due within a set number of days
    Months Before Check-in: Another percentage due
    Final Payment: Full balance due before arrival
    At the moment, tracking these due dates manually or through workarounds is inefficient. The AR account tracking feature does not fully solve the issue, as it does not allow…

  2. When we change prices and click enter, the next squared selected is the one in the right (same category for the next day). Nevertheless, normally when we change rates, we do so for an entire day. It will be much practical is the next square selected after clicking "Enter" is the one below what we have just changed. This way, we can swap from the first until the last category of a whole day and do it quicker than now.

  3. When sending Support Cases, we can not see what was already sent, even when receiving a reply we can not see our originally asked question.
    It would be good to have an overview of all Support Cases in the company in one place. This makes communication easier and we can always refresh our knowledge by going through tickets instead of asking again and to have One raised case as a one thread.

  4. Guests occasionally have a reservation under one booking, followed by another reservation under a different booking number (e.g if they've decided to add another night or have been staying for work and adding another day as a personal expense). Under the current system they need to check out and get their cards recut which isn't a great customer experience, we need to manually allocate the same room for both stays, inform Housekeeping not to clear the room and if they haven't paid in advance, we need to pay extra attention to their billing as it's split over multiple bookings.

  5. Since Optional Reservations are not confirmed reservations - client feels it would be best to not attach a Confirmation reference number in the emails until the customer actively confirms the booking. All main Placeholders associated with Reservation details or Summaries include a Confirmation number - even for Optional Reservations.

    Email Templates associated with Optional Booking should only confirm a summary of the reservation details without a confirmation number. Perhaps adding a specific placeholder just for the templates triggered by Optional Reservations could be useful.

  6. Could you please separate by columns in the BILL AND INVOICES REPORT. For each line, tax base, % tax aplied, tax aplied.
    Por example per invoice:

    • INVOICE NUMBER: 2356547
    • INVOICE DATE : NOVEMBER 2024
    • NAME OF CLIENT: PHIL SMITH
    • TAX CODE: A4356859
    • ADDRESS: Madison Avenue 343 CU 54459 New York USA / /10% TAX BASE: 2000€
    • % TAX 1: 10%
    • TAX 1: 100
    • % TAX 2: 21%
    • TAX 2: 210€
    • TOTAL INVOICE: 2310€

    At the moment with the provided report we cannot separate it, we do not have this breakdown…

  8. Linked hardcoded tourist tax adjustments to the tourist tax accounting category and not to the accounting category of the parent (service)

    This distorts the accounting because the tourist tax has to go back down into a tax type accounting category, whereas the service's accounting category is a turnover account.

    This regression was detected at the beginning of 2024.

  9. As with the rates page, it would be useful to have a search bar for spaces, so that settings can be made more quickly when managing establishments with a large number of spaces, and therefore with several pages (e.g. > 300).

  10. Besteht die Möglichkeit die gutschriebenen Debitoren, die durch eine neue Rechnungsnummer ersetzt wurde, aus der Liste der City Ledgers zu entfernen oder anderes zu filtern?
    Zur Zeit laufen dort alle Debitoren ein, auch die, die eigentlich nicht aktiv sind.

  11. Minimum requirement :

    Define a commission rate attached to a TA (see possible rules, but at least a % on room rate or total stay) 
    Attach or detach automatically (OTA) or manually a TA to a reservation  
    Calculate and store TA commissions

    Description:

    Things to know about travel agent commission management
    Reservations are linked to an agent with a specific commission calculation configuration.

    Reservations may be linked to a travel agent in order to attribute the business brought, but you may ask PMS not to calculate the commission of specific reservations, if needed.
    There is a procedure to…

  12. They is a example of the request of the customer. This functionality is available in Hotello and customers is looking to have the same in Mews. There is some examples:
    Example 1: I have a package for 3 nights:
    Night 1: Diner
    Night 2: Breakfast, lunch (apply after midnight per day per person) and diner
    Night 3: breakfast and lunch (apply after midnight per day per person)
    The problem right now is all items applied every night. In Hotello, they was able to select in the configuration with specific night the product should applies

    Example 2:
    I have a package…

  13. The summary of guest balance on the check-out page is pretty nice and allows us to see with a quick glance if the guest has something left to pay when leaving.
    It would be much better if that summary only showed the balance for the current stay and not the future stays of the guest.
    Most of our regulars have dozens of stays booked in advance and the check-out summary shows the total for all of them which is completely irrelevant during check-out.

  18. Good evening Mews team

    I request your support to enable the option to export the users created in operational mews, because when you want to perform an audit you have to be copying the data manually 1 to 1 and that makes it tedious.

    The data that the users have is required to be exported in a complete way to be able to have it at hand when required.

    NOTE: I have already performed and reviewed the steps having the admin of mews university and it does not give me this option, therefore I request the enabling.

    Greetings.

  19. We would like to block the option of adding a Token to a Custom Link - we use the custom Links for passer by's, and would like to block the option of adding a token to this "paymaster" to avoid it to be changed at a later stage.

  20. *Group reservations should only have 1 confirmation number!
    *Changing the room breakdown should go easier.
