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 very useful to create a time frame with different minimum capacity by room, i mean adapt capacity to diferent time periods to enable dynamic pricing for peak/low season.
    It's needed too to charge free children in one specific period for commercial purpouses

  2. Es wäre toll, wenn man bei der wirklich super einfachen Buchungseingabe noch irgendwo die Möglichkeit hätte, eine kurze Notiz für den Gast hinzuzufügen. Wie zB.: Zimmer im Erdgeschoss oder Allergiker-Bettwäsche oder späte Anreise... Der Chat funktioniert ja zunächst nur von der Gastseite aus... Wenn bei uns ein Gast ein Zimmer im parterre oder barrierefrei wünscht, ist es nicht immer eine eigene Kategorie und es wäre hilfreich, auf ein vorheriges Telefonat oder einen Emailaustausch eingehen zu können. Also eine Art "Notizfeld"...

  3. When multiple reservations are selected within the group, users can easily make changes on the "Properties" tab or lock unlocking reservations and there are no warnings given.

    It would be great if there is a small warning saying that the change will be applied to all the selected reservations.

  4. Customer X has booked room category #1. If I manually upgrade him (drag and drop) to a higher category, say #2, then the OTA's availabilities will be updated to reflect this upgrade. Then, If I manually downgrade X in his original requested category the OTA'a availabilities will be once more updated and revert to their original state. However, if X is downgraded not by manual drag and drop but by being "bumped" into his original category through the dragging and dropping of another customer Y onto X's room, then the new availabilities resulting from this bumped downgrade will not be…

  5. There is a setting in the system to instruct optional and inquired reservations to auto release. To operate a waitlist it would be better to split this instruction so that inquired bookings auto release and optional reservations don't auto release.

  6. When using shared inventory in a hostel setting the occupancy graph is rendered almost unusable. When having a dorm sellable as a Dorm or a single bed, if arrivals was 1 for a bed on the day in the reservations section, the graph directly below will indicate 2 arrivals if the dorm was not occupied previously. There is only truly 1 arrival.

    Appreciating additional logic would need to be applied across the system, though this would make it far more actionable insights and give team members actionable information.

  7. We see that items on bill 13947 are ordered in a way that we don’t understand. Can you provide some clarification on this? Property wants to order items by date. Since the date sorting in the billing screen is not in order, the bill cannot be printed in date order.

    The issue occurs when bills are imported from Lightspeed, I think? I am not entirely sure on this but it seems to be the case.

    AFAIK we don’t have any ordering on bill items level.
    Therefore this is a feature request

  8. We highly request a function that allows us to have an inventory of all our extra beds in Mews, and that automatically keeps track of when/how many xbeds that are sold. To make sure that we don´t oversell them.
    As it is today, we need to manually keep track of incoming reservations that needs xbeds, and put this in an excel document - this needs to be done several tims a week and it takes a lot of time and effort, when it should be a simple solution in the system.

  9. Dear Madam, dear Sir,
    We are currentely unable to have a clear daily housekeeping report.
    We need the following informations to be displayed in addition to the current informations.
    State of the rooms : Free and clean / Departure / Stayover.
    Today, we are unable to have these informations in our report, we have to check everyy room one by one to define the correct state, which can take us lot of time and effort.
    Looking forward for your answer.
    Regards
    Anis AISSAOUI
    Front desk manager

  10. There is no report on issuing a statement for an individual company, at any time of the month which should include invoice number, date of invoice, amount and the period (if it's overdue, how many days). Statements should be issued to companies on a regular basis in order to allow them to reconcile the account!

  11. Currently, the Associated profile's address is visibly compacted on the bill > we believe it is to save space on the header and is presented as follow:

    Adress: Address line 1, Adress Line 2
    City, Postal Code, Country

    However, it would be preferable to keep the "standard billing format" just perhaps make it appear smaller. And, perhaps it can also occupy a bigger space when the customer address is not completed so the standard below is not lost.

    Furthermore, the standard billing formatting should be as noted below:

    Address:
    Name
    Street #
    Postal Code + TOWN/CITY (same Line)
    Country

  12. Have you been scared you did a manipulation on production instead of demo? Especially when you started with Mews and everything you looked at was new to your eye? It happened to me a lot, and I thought the blue demo logo maybe isnt big enough... actually if the entire top banner was blue it would be so much easier to identify and remove all doubts about which environment we're working on (for us and for hotels too)!

  13. Serait il possible d'afficher un total pour chaque département sur les factures des clients.
    Nous avons plusieurs départements sur les factures lors d'évènements et nous devons faire les totaux à la main et sur de grosses facture c'est un peut long.

  14. Management Accounting Software enables co-ownership management models where portions of an entire operation (Resort, Hotel, etc.) have different owners. The operators are generally management companies who need to justify the business model and revenue and expenditures to the body corporate.

    Trust accounting while a visibly similar model, is further regulated and operates under a strict set of laws. The origin of modern Trust Accounting legislation as it pertains to the Accommodation industry was codified by the Queensland Government since the 1960s and has been largely replicated in regions and countries where legislation is expected.

    Within Australia, Trust Accounting is a…

  15. I don't want to send confirmation emails to 3rd party OTA's. They send through the 3rd part platform and may show a rate code which is a violation of the agreement between hotels and OTA's. Example: Expedia collect - the commission is taken from the room rate, so what the guest sees is lower than what the guest pays. This causes issues as the guest will be confused and disgruntled thinking they somehow are getting overcharged by Expedia.

    Also, some tour operators also don't want a guest to see the rate, and will cancel a contract due to sharing the…

  16. It would be helpful if files like Confirmations/Contracts could be added to a Block. For most blocks we have seperate contracts that need to be attached to the block on a high level like Dashboard or Block Details. Then all contracts & Documents are on the Master Block and could be easily tracked

  17. I have been attempting to limit the access front of office employees have to financial data or payment information which is both sensitive to the business and confidential. MEWS have informed me there is no way in preventing any employee who has access to changing housekeeping status to also view the financials of the business.

    Please could I have some help or if anyone else is finding this as an issue. While creating different roles and users I tested this ability to view all financial information. Therefore, any user with housekeeping privilages can view any information within ‘Finance’ on the…

  18. In the Reservation overview report some reservations are displayed with no notes at all, where in fact there are notes attached to the reservation. This seems to happen for notes where the text content of the notes filed is very long. Thus it would be helpfull to show only the first lines of the notes with an indicator to view the full notes by opening the reservation details. Like "Some very long note text here. ...... See more by opening Details"
    As of how it is implemented right now, it could be assumed that no notes are attached to the…

  19. In quotation mails for 1-5 rooms the guest/booker can see rate details (name, conditions..) but for more than 5 rooms the rate details (cancellation, payment...) are not displayed, therefore we have to send group offers for more than 5 rooms manually to show cancellation and payment conditions.

  20. Currently, after a guest associated with a group block checks in and wants to be moved to a different room type, we have to adjust or add the room type to the block. This is a few added steps for the FD and reservations. I suggest that when the availability block is released then the guest reservations are available to actual inventory opposed to that within the block.
