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. For guests needing a company address on their invoice,but are paying for the stay themselves, the current set-up seeks to add the company profile as secondary profile after check-in, then take the payment at check-out, and then swap the two profiles on the invoice so that the company would be primary and the guest´s profile would be secondary/ linked profile. Therefore you need to find the right address again, which usually takes a couple of clicks. It would be much easier if there was way to simply swap the profiles by sliding or by having an option to swap with…

  2. Finding a method to conceal the "space number" on invoices for future arrivals would be beneficial, particularly when a bill/invoice must be issued before the arrival date. An option to choose "Future Arrival" before emailing guests could prevent the premature disclosure of the assigned space.

  3. At the moment Mews only has a template when you send an invoice that thanks the guest for their stay, however the same are sent as reminder which then often get ignored by debtors.

    The option to create more standard emails, to create for example a different template for reminders of invoices would be a useful tool to improve the management from within Mews.

  4. Having the option to include Companions on the invoices. This is ideal for when we have multiple guests inside 1x space, and critical for Companies who require the entire guest list to be recorded on their invoices.

  5. Wenn ein Geschäftsreisender seine Firmenadresse auf der Rechnung benötigt, dann muss erst die Zahlung über seine Kartei am Terminal erfolgen und dann können wir erst die Firma in der Rechnung hinterlegen. Es wäre besser, wenn auch über die Firmenkartei Zahungen über das Terminal getätigt werden könnten.

  6. Possibility to enable the use of specific Counters and Fiscal Printers only for some users/roles.

    Currently, the user must manually select the counter for the bill and the fiscal printer each time a document is issued. This leads to errors and makes issuing corrections very time-consuming. By allowing the assignment of which counters and fiscal printers a user or role is authorized to use, the overall user experience would be significantly improved.

  7. Implement an improvement so that the payment related to outstanding invoices is displayed as in the payment tab of the customer profile (showing the invoice number that generated the account receivable), and not just the reference to the bill.

  8. i dont know why it is like this... That clients can’t access their invoice themselves. In fact, in Canada, it’s usually illegal not to send an invoice. Currently, account statements are not available in Mews.

    Also, in the pro forma invoice, the GST and QST numbers are missing, and taxes (including tax numbers) are extremely important in Quebec.

    In short, we need to:

    Provide access for clients to retrieve their invoices themselves.
    
    Include tax numbers everywhere and show a detailed breakdown of the taxes.
    
    Automate invoice delivery: when a client makes a reservation, they should receive either a link to

  9. We are trying to set up our group accommodation billing. We would like to be able to send a proforma invoice or invoice, which shows a 25% deposit due to secure the booking.
    At the moment Mews does not offer the possibility to issue an invoice for a percentage of the amount, and i think this would be really useful to develop

  10. Bonjour!
    Nous avons beaucoup de compagnies qui chargent à leur compte client et qui paient à chaque mois. Je dois leur envoyer un état de compte à chaque fin de mois, mais présentement en exportant la balance des débiteurs, le visuel n'est pas professionnel et n'est pas à l'image de notre entreprise. J'ai dû créer un template Excel afin d'y copier les données. Avec Hotello, mes états de comptes étaient clairs et je pouvais les envoyer tels quels.
    Ma suggestion serait d'ajouter l'option d'une exportation en PDF par compagnie avec le logo de notre entreprise, et d'y ajouter les dates…

  12. The week snap shot is helpful. However, I would like our team to always know where occupancy is sitting for the current month. It would be great to have a coloured doughnut on MEW dashboard visible at all times.

  13. Da die Rechnungen bei der Zahlungsmethode Überweisung auch auf Saldo"0" ausgestellt werden, rufen mich die Gäste an, ob die Rechnung bereits beglichen wurde. Zahlungsmethode "Überweisung" ist sehr klein geschrieben. Es wäre gut, wenn auf der Rechnung steht: Bitte überweisen Sie den Betrag bis zum..... . Das Saldo "0" kann weggelassen werden.

  16. When users add a product, they can apply service charges that are mapped to the product group's accounting category. However, it should be possible to block this option because a product group can contain products with different VAT rates, and therefore different accounting categories. As a result, it is not possible to define an accounting category for service charges as the VAT rate cannot be known.

  17. 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

  18. Since the unpaid invoices only show in the owner's dashboard or list of Bills and Invoices, it's become a lot of more clicks to set it paid.

    We have some companies and tour operators, that pay with one amount up to 40 invoices by banktransfer. When those showed in the billing, I only had to select all of the invoices, transfer them to one new bill and could close this bill with 3 clicks.

    Now I have 5 clicks for each invoice, that makes with 40 bills about 140 clicks more than before and also takes a lot more time…

  20. 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…
