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. A client raised a strategy they used at their property to manage overbookings in lower space categories.
    They would add an availability adjustment of +1 to the space allowing it to overbook. Once that eventual booking enters Mews, they would then reassign it to the actual space available (a space that typically is last to be sold).
    However, the +1 adjustment currently remains unless a user intervenes manually to remove it. Suggestion: Is there a way to automate the release of that adjustment by considering "full occupancy" of the hotel at that point?

  3. Add a feature where specific rates (e.g heavily discounted private rates) can not be viewed by all users and instead only be booked by certain higher management.

  4. We want to have an option to block the entry of a free adjustment when adding a product to an invoice.

    This is to ensure that users only use predefined products to invoice/reimburse, so that accounting information is coherent.

    Indeed, by nature a free adjustment is not linked to a product and therefore not linked to a specific accounting category.

    What is the problematic use case?
    When we invoice/reimburse a product, our teams need to invoice an existing product so that the correct accounting category passes through our accounting interface (api).
    But users make the mistake of refunding a free…

  5. As of now, sometimes the balance is visible on the Smart Window and sometimes it is not. Usually the reservations that come from an OTA do not have the balance visible on the Smart Window, created the additional unnecessary steps of clicking to arrive at the Billing tab. Please do what needs to be done for ALL reservations, including OTAs, to have the balance visible on the Smart Window. Thank you!

  6. Be able to restrict access to the price of the service for each additional service when the "Order only with products" option is ticked. For the moment, either all prices can be changed (Service and Products), or none. But when the receptionist adds a product and also adds an amount to the price of the service by mistake, it may create a billing issue, and so an accounting issue.

  7. Hello!
    I would like to know if it's possible to add the field of passport information (number, date of validity, etc...) to the registration cards. Some of our clients are from other countries and might need VISA so we can give them the information to prepare the VISA.

  8. Would it be possible to Also consider creating a capability within the existing Import File to identify "companions" within a reservation and upload such data into Mews? (Besides the Rooming List template).

  9. At the moment we have to calculate the average length of stay ourselves:
    https://help.mews.com/s/article/calculate-average-length-of-stay?language=en_US

    It is a quite simple KPI, can you add this to the standard reports?

  10. Exclude additional guests from being included in the statistics. Only consider the head guest for calculating the percentage of successful guest statistics. In cases where there are multiple people (e.g., 4 guests) in a room and they update their names, it's unlikely that we will have all the details for each individual. Therefore, the main or head guest is the crucial one to be recorded, currently, you are making it challenging for us to track the completion status for all head guests.

  11. It would be a big time saver if it was possible to send bills to Travel Agents (and other companies) automatically on a set date (e.g. the first of every month).

    With the new company billing features this would make the workflow very efficient and ensure that no bills would be forgotten to send.

  12. Currently, all users must manually add segments to every reservation.

    I like to request to use the segments that are stored in every rate.

  13. We need a quick option to consolidate items in billing and rename them.

    So f.eks. we sell our guest a soup and a panini through our trivec system, but when we send the bill we have companies that wants those two items to be consolidated into one item and renamed “hot meal"

  14. We would love to be able to create discounted rates without the need to create a new rate manually.

    The idea is that when you create a voucher, you can set a certain discount (ie. 20%) and select the rates on which it applies. With this a a lot of work can be avoided.

  16. could you please look into the monthly timeline as currently not a viable option (actually, it is totally useless).
    you can only see bookings of 14+ nights - we need to see all of them
    you can not move bookings - we need to be able to do so
    for us, we don't necessarily need to see a full year, but anything of 3+ months would be acceptable

  18. Would it be interesting if it was possible to discount of a rate depending on length of stay ?
    So for example:-
    - Stay 2 or more nights and save 10 %
    - Stay 3 or more nights and save 20 %
    - Stay 5 or more nights and save 25 %
    - Stay 7 or more nights and save 30 %

    This set-up will allow properties to create promotions that are a bit more dynamic

  19. When you book online, you see the rooms that are available at the top of the page and don't see unavailable rooms until you scroll down the page. But when we book over the phone, the room categories stay in their default order and just show that the room cannot be booked. It would make things a lot easier if the categories were sorted by availability first and then by their default sort.

  20. I would like to be able to set my own name for the restrictions that would be visible to the reservations team when they are booking a reservation and want to check on why they are seeing a room as restricted.
