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. In order to avoid seeing "None" under nationality in the customer statistics due to missing companion's profile, I would suggest that the system take the owner guest's nationality as default.

  2. Outlet information should be split up based on Revenue and Payments in the Accounting Report to quickly see the total revenue of the day. This is similar to how Revenue and Payments are set for Revenue and Payments for transactions that take place inside the PMS.

  3. Groups that are currently taking inventory and are contracted but do not have reservations picked up yet, are not being counted as "Sold Rooms" nor is the contracted revenue being accounted for anywhere. The Availability and Occupancy Report shows the group rooms under Confirmed or Optional but ultimately still shows that group inventory under "Free Spaces". Would be useful to see total expected group revenue per group, and for that revenue to be accounted for in the Manager Report.

  4. Access to reservations, but read only. This is useful for smaller properties where for example the security guard needs to check passports/ID to make sure the correct person is in front of them.

    But then don't give them the access to make any changes to them.

  5. We work with two bookable services; stay and shortstay, using the same rooms. We want to ensure availability until a certain time for our shortstay partners therefore, we are using availability blocks with the moving release option. Unfortunately, the availability blocks are only blocking rooms in one bookable service. Making it possible to book the blocked rooms in the stay bookable service. It would be great if the system blocks these rooms in both services when adding an availability block in one of the services.

  6. We request the functionality to round reservation prices to whole numbers in our booking system.

    This adjustment is crucial for maintaining the upscale image of our 4 and 5-star hotels, as current pricing often results in decimals.

    Implementing whole number pricing will simplify transactions and enhance the premium perception of our rates.

  7. When you need to extend a booking, you manually need to move future booking(s) before extending. If the future bookings aren't locked they should just be replaced in the timeline the same way as if you move between spaces.

    The problem happens when hotels are quite fully booked and you need to remove space for reservations and the puzzle it all together again after extending the one reservation in question.

  8. It will be great if we can have an accounting report sort by room type, in order to compare the revenues separatly. Otherwise maybe habve the opportunatly to export to excel the accounting report with the room number or room type.

  9. Given that the roster of IATA registered travel agencies is essentially finite, though subject to occasional changes, with updates regularly made to the IATA database, it might be advantageous for Mews to integrate access to this database. This would facilitate the selection and mapping of IATA agencies.

    This notion parallels the address search functionality already incorporated, ensuring that hotels maintain an up-to-date repository of agencies for collaboration. Presently, a challenge arises wherein some properties list IATA agencies as separate companies, while others opt for the lengthier process of creating a travel agent contract.

    By enabling selection from a pre-established list,…

  10. It would be good if when we enter on a certain customer who has a group booking - to see bookings sorted by groups on the dashboard instead of all the rooms that guests booked for all the upcoming dates - when we have groups sorted on the dashboard then we can choose the group and enter to see all the rooms listed.

  11. It would be nice to have the option to add the space number into booker confirmation. We drive revenue by allowing customers to pay extra to select their exact space number, and having the ability to show them this on their confirmation and not just pre-arrival would be helpful.

  12. It is really difficult to refund the correct payment with the current config. I had a guest book about 5 reservations at the same time and then cancel one. To refund, I just had to guess which payment to refund, guessed wrong and had to move the payment. I would love to see the three dots that you use to refund on the payments tab to also be available on the billing tab.

  13. It would be easier to have multiple email addresses per company. One for the accounting department (invoices) and one for the confirmations for example in stead of making contact persons for every company.

  14. 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?

  15. It is not possible to use dynamic rates for availability blocks, only set rates. As some groups or crews have dynamic agreements, this means the hotel can’t set the correct rate for them.

    Since Mews now will work on groups with different release dates etc. (“allotment”) will it be considered to also look into dynamic pricing from availability blocks?

  16. Dear Team,

    This function work super for a Breakfast List as an overview.

    May I recommend:

    1) We are able to print this report for our Kitchen Team as well for our Breakfast Team. They unfortunately do not use MEWS.
    2) Would there be an option to add the Guests "Customer Notes" there we add under the F&B Notes, if the Guest if allergic to anything for example.

    Thank you in advanced.

    Kind Regards,

    Amit

  17. On my team, we have a lot of people that "wear many hats" As an example, we have 6 people on the guest services team. 2 of those 6 are concierge as well and will be the ones assigned to follow up with a guest when they request recommendations.

    Instead of assigning a task generally to the whole Guest Services team and wait for these two specific people to address the task, I would like to be able to assign people multiple roles so that those two people can be Guest Services and Concierge. This is just an example, at…

  18. Currently, you are unable to extend an availability reservation without adjusting the block itself, or making a new reservation then locking it into the same room. Being able to manually extend a room block reservation behind negotiated day's and rates within the block would be excellent so the guest maintains one reservation throughout their stay.

  19. Our Back of House staff needs the ability to see next-day activities in the Mews Operations app so that staff doesn't need to access the Mews Commander Dashboard on a laptop or phone when looking forward outside of today's operations.
