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.

  3. It would be good if we could assign room credits for rooms to help the assignment process. Example, smaller rooms would get .75, standard rooms 1.0 and suites 1.5. Thereby, if each housekeeper could clean 12 credits daily, the system could calculate each room by value and assign accordingly. Additionally, stayovers would receive .25 credit against assignment as they take only 20 minutes to touchup versus a full clean would receive +.25 as they take longer to clean as determined by the property. Using this method would improve productivity and room assignment.

  5. In the action Logs, UTC is used to describe all actions, however this doesn't make sence for our propterty as we use CEST. Therefore we would suggest to use the time where a proptery is located instead of UTC so we don't need to manually calculate the changes each time.

  6. Within some states in the US, there is a maximum number of square feet (or metre) that an individual can clean during their shift. To help ensure that this limit is not being exceeded, it would help to have the measurements of the room listed within the Housekeeping part of Mews.

  8. I would like to see the ability to easily generate a report which would break down the guests' origin by country of residence. Also, integration with the French government's INSEE (Fréquentation dans les hébergements collectifs touristiques) would be great !

  9. 2FA does not authenticate the device rather the sign on, can this be applied as a device authentication rather than sign on as it impedes operations. Feature request to have more flexible ways around using the 2FA a fob to login at the desk for example?

  10. I would like to be able to download the action log to excel. It will make it easier for me to control the work of the revenue manager who changes the prices. It would be good to be able to download this report automatically via exports ->schedules.

  11. We offer a 28% discount for stays of 7 nights plus as well as 30% discount when staying 29 nights plus.
    at the moment that means you have to set up different rates, which is not always ideal when working with a OTA or TOUR through your channel manager.
    is there anyway that this could be build in on Mews' side so that you are able to put in percentage discounts for certain lengths of stays (more than one per rate if possible)

  12. When creating a new Availability block for a Group, provide a checkmark toggle that allows for booking out of general availability, rather than creating day by day by space category blocks.
    - There are times we provide "rate offers" to groups without any specific room type commitment at all, ie. We'll provide a floating 20% discount on any room types we have available, up until a specific booking cut-off date. There are times we may also offer commission on the rooms that book.

    Voucher codes do not really work for us in these situations either, as they are not fenced…

  13. Once you have created a rate, you should be able to amend it and link it to a base rate. If you have already mapped it on your channel manager, you do not wish to delete it and restart, you just want to now link it to a base rate or change the base rate link

  15. It would be amazing if an invoice cannot be made if and when the billing details are not completed in the company profile. Now the employee from reservations already grants the 'invoiceable' privilage to a company so that the receptionist know they dont have to take deposit payment at check-in. however at check-out it is still required to complete the billing details, but then the invoice is already closed (as it is possible) and as it is not correctly checked, only with the invoicing check (sometimes days later) it is found that the billing details are missing.

  17. Include Invoice number and Space Number columns into Accounting Report, or include a standard column (i.e. booking number, invoice number, guest number or similar) in all reports (accounting report, posting journal, reservation report etc) so that the reports can actually be compared and linked between them easily without guessin gwhich guest name belongs to which transaction.

  18. In Mews the statistics are calculated using room / beds occupied and not by customer count.

    We'd like to be able to calculate all statistics in Mews reports & Analytics by customer. This could be achieved by adding a setting to use customer count.

    Average rate instead of calculated occupied rooms/revenue use customers/revenue
    Occupancy instead of calculating by occupied rooms/available rooms use customers occupying rooms/available rooms

    Hi Nick, 


    Thanks for posting this! We are looking into revamping how we calculate statistics in the future and will consider this enhancement at that point. Many thanks for your contribution and look forward to hearing more ideas from you!

  19. When a guest arrives and the room is not ready, it would be good to place the reservation into a Queue that would notify Housekeeping to prioritize this guest room cleaning. This might be an added icon that would put the reservation on top of the normal reservation cards on the arrival screen. The automation part would be to notify housekeeping that a reservation has been put into the queue and waiting.

  20. could you please make it a default setting that every company is invoiceable and we should only tick in case they are not.

    also, put a generic invoice due interval in the property main settings so that it defaults to this period and only if you wish to change it from the standard setting should you have to amend it in the company setting.

    thanks
