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.

  2. When we receive bookings from destination management companies, the original source of the bookings often come from travel agents before they are sent to a destination mangement company and finally the PMS. In Mews, we are only able to view a single travel agency which means that we can only see the name of the destination management company; we are not able to see the name of the travel agencies that made the original bookings.

    We would like our sales and marketing teams to have insights on the travel agencies that are making reservations.

  3. add the payment in the POS MEWS so that we can invoice a product and charge the customer directly (for the bar, the restaurant...).
    Can also be used with the TPE MEWS for direct billing.

  4. We would like to good old billing back. It is totally chaotic, sometimes when we add a product on the profile, it adds it to the bill, then sometimes it doesn't, but when it doesn't, you can not choose to put them together. Also, when a guest wishes to pay less than the full bill on one day and the rest to pay on other days, we can not just simply choose some days. It is time-consuming, not easy to see through it, non the less, how could we possibly explain it to a guest what they are seeing on…

  5. -Make the line between bills thicker and/or more pronounced. It could be so much more clear which bill is which.
    -Add a bill icon to the card that enters right of the screen when you click on a reservation from the timeline. If they are small Icons and ALMOST everywhere, it's odd to have them missing in some places.
    -A dog Icon, so we can see from the timeline which guests have dogs so we know where they can be moved (dog friendly suites)

  6. When you use 'Messages' in the Mews Commander app from your phone, it would be useful to go directly to the reservation as you can do when you work for a computer. Thank you team

  7. You can easily update/modify an existing reservation, even when a restriction applies. No warning is shown (e.g. MinLOS is disregarded when updating a booking)

  9. As a reservations agent I often receive requests via chat for extra products, services or items to be added to a room prior to a guests arrival, for example extra pillows. I would like to be able to create tasks for the correct department when a request has been made.

  10. In the reservations report, I would like to be able to group by Date (not arrival or departure date)
    I would also like to be able to group by multiple factors.
    E.g. Group by both date and by rate code

  11. I would like to be able to easily identify the costs of the items I have selected in the billing screen so that I don't spend time calculating whilst my guests wait for the bill to be closed.

    It would also be helpful when calculating the amount due and managing deposits..

  12. Would it not be easier to be able to set up a new travel agents without having to create a new company first.
    also, the routing rules should be part of the company and travel agent set up and not another unrelated action.
    this is causing way too much work and should be able to be simplified

  13. at the moment when one guest has multiple bookings (i.e. coming for one day every week), the bill at the top of the screen is the one with the furthest arrival date.
    that doesn't make sense.
    the most recent date should be at the top and those days further in the future at the bottom of the screen.
    it is too easy to make mistakes now with creating invoices or taking payments for the wrong date / week / stay

  14. Have the option to restrict product to specific dates.
    For example: if we have New Years Eve Gala Dinner created as a product, would be very helpful to be able to restrict this product to only guests staying during the night of the 31st of December, and not to any booking date.

  15. in the old billing screen, when you had created an invoice, it was immediately visible on the unassigned left side.
    now with the new billing, it "disappears" and you have to click out to say the payment tab to go back in to the billing tab before you can see the created invoice and move it to the Pay Master.
    this is creating additional unnecessary work!

  16. 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…

  18. COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO ADD A "CLOSE INVENTORY FUNCTION" ?
    1) "BUCKET A" IS THE ENTIRE HOTEL
    2) BUCKET B" IS CORP RATES
    3) BUCKET C IS LEISURE RATES
    4) BUCET D IS STAFF RATES ETC ETC
    IF YOU CLOSE OUT BUCET 1 - ALL THE BUCETS CLOSE. BUT IF YOU CLOSE UT I.E BUCET "C", A AND B WILL STILL SELL - THAT WAY YOU CAN GIVE KAM ACCOUNTS LONGER AVAILABILITY THEN I.E BOOKING.COM
    ALSO A FUNCTION TO OPEN CLOSE OUT SPESIFIC ROOM CATEGORIES IN A SIGLE CLICK.

  19. In the activity report, it seems like we only display the top 10 employees by amount of "activities" performed (descending). Have tried to export the report to Excel, but it does not seem to show a break-down per employee (i.e. no employee names were displayed) only total by hour & day of week.

  20. Before 25th of October in Mews Analytic properties could see all the dates they set up the report for. However, after 25th the empty lines are hidden and reports is shown only from the Live date in Mews
