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. It would be great to have the option to deactivate the service charge in additional services. Like a tick box where they could say if a service charge would apply or not.
    This would eliminate that the user charges the service charge by accident, leading to postings in wrong accounting categories, eventually even wrong VATs.
    Now with the new design where the service charge it is on top of all additional products, it is easier to fill in the service charge and forget about the product.

  2. 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.

  3. It would be very helpful if the Mews Terminal could also be used to scan ID cards and collect guest signatures. This functionality is already common in many other markets and would allow small hotels, who cannot afford a full Mews Kiosk setup, to still benefit from a more automated and integrated check-in process.

    Ideally, there would be a new button (similar to the current webcam scan option) in the guest profile. When clicked, it would initiate a flow on the Mews Terminal:

    The receptionist takes a photo of the front and back of the ID using the terminal’s camera.

  6. I feel like a basic feaure for anyone who is using the internet for work is to use tabs in the web browser. Especially in the reception where you are often working on multiple things, and reservations at once.

    So that you cannot use the very common hot key CTRL + click to open a new tab is frustrating. That you cannot even use the old school way by right clicking is BEYOND frustrating.

    When I do "detective" work regarding a reservation, payment or really anything in the system I want to be able to quickly set up tabs for…

  7. For all customer-centric reports: It would be practical to offer such insight in printouts (and screens) >>> especially in emergencies when reports are being used exclusively. The Icons are a great snippet of the customer's history with the hotel.

  8. House use

    We had a "house use" block beginning held after our departure time and before our daily arrival time to perform some essential maintenance. Since then, we have managed to receive a booking the day prior and allows a stayover to the day that we had blocked for 4 hours! We had the house use in place so that we could still receive bookings departing and/or arriving that day but wanted to avoid stayovers. Mews have informed me "the house use is outside of the occupancy times and therefore it is not taken into account."

    My request is:
    If…

  9. 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

  10. Créer un mail de proposition pour un groupe créé dans Bloc de disponibilité.
    Cela permettrai d'envoyer la proposition par Mews comme pour une réservation d'individuelle.
    Merci :)

  11. 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.

  12. When making a user profile it would be nice to have an end of employment date or something similar that allows to account to freeze or pause when an employee is not working at the property anymore. This would be a safeguard for responsible user management. This combined with a reminder in advance for users who have user management configured that a user has to be deleted or his/her access has to be extended soon.

  13. 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.

  14. It would be extremely helpful to be able to write comments on reservation directly from the reservation overview report instead of having to click details->administer->properties and THEN be able to write a comment. After all of that, you cannot even just click back, because then you will come to the home screen and not the reservation overview report again. It would save us alot of time, especially us who write comments on almost every single reservation when we go through them for the day to check for extra needs, memberships etc :)

  16. It would be great if it is possible to assign HSK employees in the furture. So you can assign the employees already a day before or even longer. So when a Manager is off or arriving later the employees know where to start.

  17. Will there be a time in the future where we can prompt the system to create rates, restrictions and promotions the same way we prompt an AI, and all the mapping will be done seamlessly: ex.

    Please create a rate plan called "Summer Break" for all my properties. the rate needs to be 15% off BAR, and require a minimum 2 nights. the rate needs full pre-payment and can be booked on direct channels and all OTAs.

  18. When a reservation has met the conditions of a "No-show" automatically, there should be a sequence of events for Mews to automatically add (not only) the Cancellation Fee + Payment + balanced Bill Closure at the end.

  19. We would like to request Origin logging for all reservations.

    When reservations are created through a channel manager or via integrations, Mews logs the Origin and Origin ID. However for manually created reservations, Mews does not automatically log the reservation Origin such as Call Center, Email or Phone. As a result, integration partners (such as Lighthouse) receive Mews data files with various blank Origin fields leading to incomplete reporting.

    Internal case reference #00450070.

  20. It would be great if it were possible to set an early check-in and early check-out rate per hour. Currently, only a fixed price can be selected, which limits our ability to charge more for these options.
