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. When potential clients are choosing to confirm a reservation via Optional booking quote, they are not directed to input thier credit card. They have to search for this feature. The PMS does not require a credit card to confirm these reservations leaving more follow up work on operations and creates confusion for the guest. Autofill the guests credit card to confirm the reservation would alleaviate a lot of head aches.

  2. Es wäre dringend notwendig eine Möglichkeit zu haben Produkte nur intern vom Gesamtbetrag abzusplitten für die Buchhaltung.
    Beispiel: Zimmerpreis 150 EUR, davon sind anteilig 30 EUR Frühstück. Diese 30 EUR müssten automatisch im Hintergrund abgesplittet werden und in die Buchhaltungskategorie z.B. Food & Beverage gebucht werden ohne das dies für den Gast ersichtlich ist. Derzeit müssen wir ein Produkt aufsetzten und ein Ausgleichsprodukt dafür aufsetzten, damit es korrekt für die Buchhaltung verbucht wird.

  3. Could there be an option to automatically send the invoices after issuing them? The same option exists with normal bills, and it would be great as sometimes people forget and then we are waiting for our money.

  4. It would be very helpful if you could put an extra column in the accounting ledger what the status is of this reservation. Every booking has the unresolved status even if they are still checked in. We would like to see if a booking is "past"before you click on it. Or only the reservations which are in the past have the unresolved status. Now we have a big list of reservations we have to click on first to see if it is in the past to close the bill.
    Thank you.

  7. If you want to enter a new reservation, all rate groups and rates appear in the availability display. However, the rate window is not wide enough to display all rates. You have to scroll all the way down to expand the display to the right.
    I would like to see this bar for expanding the rate display above the rates window, ie below "rooms".
    This would also make it easier to see how far to the right you have to drag to see the desired rates

  8. Hello MEWS UserVoice Community,

    we urgently need a report for our company that clearly shows the turnover/revenue. The report should be generated daily at ~ 08:00 and ideally be sent automatically by e-mail to a fixed group of users. The following information must be visible on it:

    SALES BY OUTLETS
    - Hotel & Lodging
    - Gastronomy and its sub-outlets (restaurant, day bar, rooftop bar, banquet, etc.)
    - Wellness & Spa
    - Other

    REVENUE BY TIME (here using the example of gastronomy)
    - Breakfast
    - Lunch
    - Dinner

    SALES BY PRODUCT GROUPS (here using the example of gastronomy)
    - FOOD
    -…

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. A feature to post a fixed charge to roll on a specific date, so that you do not have to remember to post the revenue on the correct day - less chance of error this way

  14. When we want to post for example minibar to a guest bill on checkout - this is 6+ clicks - it would be awesome to have a drop down menu on the bill page which you select the service to be posted and it automatically creates a bill. This saves in many cases very precious time on checkout both for the staff but more importantly the guests.

    I am aware its less clicks from the checkout doughnut - but here you have to ctrl + f to find the room etc so time wise you do not save any time…

  15. I would like to be able to see a forecast of each upcoming payout, both when it is expected and for how much. The lack of transparency to this critical data point negatively affects other financial accountabilities outside of Mews such as payroll, vendor/supplier payments, etc.

  17. when a client pays with a new credit card at the terminal, it should be enough to choose the type of the credit card and not entering the last 4 digits plus the cardholder name. it's too many steps to fill in, all with the client curious, what you're typing in the system as he has already paid.

  18. Moving unpaid items from one bill A to another bill/ customer bill B is often not possible. We have to add a new bill C, and move bill A and B to bill C and end up with lots of empty bills that can not be deleted.

    Empty bills should always be deleted automatically after moving the items.

  19. When pulling the "Gross Value" information, it would be great to have the Tax and Net Values pull into the report as well so only one report needs to be exported/run to determine what the net revenue and what the taxes were associated with each individual transaction. Right now I would have to run two separate reports to get this information and then manually match up the tax amounts with the net amounts to get the total amounts.

    Also, when exporting this and reviewing, there is no easy way to create a pivot table with the items because the "ITEM"…
