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. It makes sense to be able to see not only imminent (Pending) or past-date (Missed) tasks but also upcoming (Future) tasks on the main page ("Tasks" doughnut) - without having to go into the report every single time.

    The current state of affairs makes it often necessary to remind staffers of upcoming tasks outside of that section (or outside of MEWS e.g. emails, sticky-notes et al.), which does not make for a stellar user experience.

  4. When making optional bookings, this means we are holding a room/rooms but the booking is not confirmed.
    If this bookings is never confirmed, we should have an status called released instead of cancelled, as you are not really cancelling the booking, you are releasing the booking.

  5. We use the booker field for our paymaster indications for groups.

    It would be great if the booker would come up as a suggested customer to move the bill items to, when we move items from the bill.

    So in the move section all possible customer profiles that are attached to a reservation are listed as option.

  6. At the moment there is no way to check Outstanding Balances in a report format for a particular day.

    Having a daily or 'period wise' Outstanding Balance Report will help front desk receptionist and supervisors to monitor payments for check in/ check out guests with ease and not miss out a guest who has not paid.

    A status with a green 'tick' can also be placed on the reservation on the timeline to visually help front desk agents to point out which reservation has a pending balance if any.

  8. When we have a promotionnal rate derived from another rate group
    The strikeout price is the most expansive price of the same rate group.
    But the rate can be derived from a rate code that is in another rate group.
    When we apply the discount on this base rate, to have the derived rate, the striked-out rate should be the one used for the derivation instead of the most expansive of the group.

    Hello all,

    This status update is part of our ongoing work to simplify and streamline how our UserVoice feedback forum operates. We are reducing the number of statuses to two (Idea to Upvote + Released) to help manage expectations about where each idea stands and to minimize the number of status updates required from our product teams. Our product team reviews everything you share, and we might reach out for more info if we need it. 

    Thanks for your patience as we work to bring your ideas to life! You can learn more about the changes coming to UserVoice from this post in the Mews Community.

  9. When using MEWS to manage a small F&B outlet via Services/Products, it would be nice to be able to link a small POS slip printer e.g. Epson TMT-20, to issue guests a cash invoice for the service if requested that is not on A4.

  10. Currently when a guest arrives early or leaves late, the hotels decide whether to charge such a guest extra money for the additional time spent in the room. Most properties set up special products for early CI / late CO. These products can be then posted to the bill by the receptionist. This, however, requires additional manual work.

    Early check-ins and late checkouts might be charged automatically.

    The automation could be potentially built through new product rules - if a guest spends extra time in the room thanks to early CI / late CO, specific products would be posted to…

  15. Use case:

    Rate group is prepaid with settlement trigger at confirmation. If settlement fails then booking is canceled with the reason: payment failed.

  16. Now, it is impossible to print or send a proforma if booking is not confirmed
    To send a proforma for optional booking we have to confirm the reservation then delete it and re-create the booking as optional.
    Please make it possible, so we can send a proforma invoice as a quotation with an option date for confirmation

  17. would it be possible to make the room number guests are allocated to or have stayed in more prominent on the overview and dashboard.
    also, it is very annoying you are not able to see the full name. perhaps move the three icons on the right corner further down?
    thanks

  18. It would be great if there is a possibility to make a split in the rate in different accounting ledger, without the guests seeying it.
    So like you can do by product rules, but than completly without the guest seeying your split.
    You can now put on bill as package, but then the guest still sees the product on the confirmation.

  19. Instead of only being able to email the guest email due to it being linked to the profile, it would be great if we could have the tool to choose between guest private email or company's email for example or simply make a "costum" button.

  20. It would be great to be able to create products (NOT linked as a stay package) composed of different subproducts with different prices and VAT rates, which would show as one package price.

    Example: I would like to create a Drinks package of X€, composed of water at Y€ and VAT rate at 10% and of wine at Z€ and VAT rate at 20%. Currently we have to create two products (water AND wine) and it would not appear as a drinks package in the billing line.
