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 Mews, it is possible to create a parent room, so one room could be sold as two separate rooms or together (room A + B = parent room). Ideally, we would like to also have the option so that when the customer books room A, room B is automatically removed from sales. This will prevent other people booking the other room.

  2. be able to turn off "Optional" and "Inquired" status for reservations. Have it be optional for a property and let the property control whether they want front desk agents to be able to access these statuses. Our property does not. It causes confusion.

  3. Where properties receive a high volume of same day bookings, which they review and then either take manual payment or cancel, there should be an option to configure payment policies on rate groups by advance date. This solution would help to reduce the amount of refunds properties need to perform for these particular bookings. This is currently only possible in Mews by creating a combination of multiple policies, rates/rate groups and restrictions.

    Ideal use case below where property only requires one rate and one policy

    • Any reservation made prior to the day of arrival - an automatic payment schedule is…

  4. While Editing Restrictions in calender mode or in List mode the view goes after saving always back to today and not to the preselected date period.

  6. This should be a cancellation report that includes the cancelled revenue plus the cancelled room nights of an availability block. To top this it would be great to see the cancellation reason and who cancelled it plus the option to export to excel.

  7. 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.

  8. When we think that a customer is at risk of not paying, we should be able to change their status to ‘Doubtful customer’ so that we can isolate them. If the customer finally settles the debt, then it is reclassified as a normal customer, and if we know that the customer will not pay, then the invoice must be paid using a ‘Loss’ payment method.

    Today there is only a ‘Doubtful debt’ payment method, but this closes the invoice directly, which makes it impossible to monitor the intermediate status of customers who are at risk of not paying. Especially from…

  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. Ability to block exports of the ‘Customer Profile’ report for certain user roles.

    A receptionist on a temporary contract (i.e. working only 1 or 2 days in the hotel) can, if he or she wishes, export the whole of the hotel group's customer database by means of an Excel export filtered by creation date.

  11. Add restaurant cheque and meal voucher payment methods in order to :
    - be able to manage these payment methods from reception via MEWS and not just from the POS
    - be able to perform accounting adjustments from MEWS in the event of an input error in the POS, which does not allow this type of action to be performed

  12. Mews is implementing many extra ways to secure the user account.
    However, if it happens that a hackers gains access to the Mews system, you are pretty much done.

    All users have access to the Reservations Report, and if the Permission 'View Customer Data' is given to the user (which it will be in 99.9% of the cases) the hacker can easily export the Reservations Report including ALL of the guests private information.

    If access to the Reservations Report is either available as an individual permission, or added to the permission 'Access to sensitive reports' a hotel can protect themselves…

  13. Roomtype setup also needs to have the option to configure a rebate accounting categorie. We want to split revenue per roomtype with different accounting categories. This is possible, but when revenue is rebated it goes to a general rebate categorie instead of the configured room type accounting categories. Seems like the product team forgot to develop the rebate- and cancelled items accounting categories settings in the room type configuration section.

  14. It would be really helpful to get a report of all payments made into a specific date range and linked to reservation in another specific date range as well (for example: list of the deposits paid in 2024 but linked to reservations for 2025)

  15. Currently reports can be scheduled to run hourly, daily, weekly, monthly etc.

    It would be helpful to have more options ie. 6-hourly, fortnightly etc. and/or the ability to set a custom frequency for report exports ie. 6AM, 2PM, 6PM to correspond with staff shift times.

  16. When going through cancelled / no show reservations (groups) it is time-consuming having to click on each and every one of the reservations in the group to see what date and what reason the booking was cancelled.

    In groups it would be great if you were able to organize them by date, as well as, reason (cancelled / no show).
    The best solution would have been to sort them out as we have when it comes to past and future bookings and by date but instead "cancelled" as one and "no show" as another one.
    If you then click on,…

  17. In the user management section, it would be nice to simply deactivate or reactivate user profiles. Sometimes users work for seasons and leave the company for a few months between seasons. Currently, if you want to stop the access to Mews, you have either to remove the rights of the user or you have to delete the profile and recreate a new profile when the user comes back. When you try to remove the rights, if will not work if the user has created export schedules. The only person who can remove the export schedules is the user himself. It…

  18. Enable Hover Functionality for Rate Notes in Reservation Overview

    It would be extremely useful to have the ability to view rate notes in the reservation overview by hovering over the rate name—similar to the functionality that’s already available when creating a reservation. Rate notes often include essential information regarding rate inclusions, restrictions, and conditions that are vital for quick reference.

    Currently, accessing rate notes in the reservation overview requires additional steps, which can disrupt workflow efficiency. Implementing this hover function would make it easier for team members to quickly review important rate details, enhancing both accuracy and response time when…

  19. (1) Enable notifications specific to products purchased/booked by guests or added by staff to a bill (not just from the OCI flow, but from any time the product is sold).

    (2) Enable a feature that can filter reservations by Products purchased/booked.

  20. Please split the different available reports in the Permissions tab when assinging roles to employees.
    This way we can make several reports, like a reservations report, available for a number of employees who need this while they do not need permission to the Accounting report or Accounting ledger f.e.
