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 a guest has paid, an email with the receipt should be automatically created and sent if the profile has an email attached.

    This would save some clicks and also save the environment by not printing (you can just say - the receipt is already sent to you by email :))

  2. Properties would like to have a tick or symbol in the reservation details (reservation overview and timeline) to give an indication if a reservation has been paid for already. For now, clients have to click a few times to consult the billing screen and verify if an arriving/departing customer still has an open balance. E.g. it would make the check-ins even more quick.

  3. In a previous version of MEWS, we could add a Company address which was then added to the Invoice. A guest would then request the name of a company in which they could then reclaim/issue to the company. This information was clear on the Invoice under "Customer".
    With a new update of MEWS, unfortunately this option has been taken away and there is now "Associated with". On the invoice, the "customer" is the Guests name and address and the company is now under "Associated with".

    In Germany, this an issue, as when Guests claim their expenses, the Invoice reads with…

  4. When billing, would be nice if the company name, used in the reservation, is automatically suggested.

  5. Invoice status that will tell us if the invoice was sent and to which email address or for every invoice sent to the customer, copy would also be sent to selected internal email address.

  7. Currently to get to the details section of a booking you have to click on the booking, move the mouse, and click detail.
    We should be able to just double-click the booking on the timeline and go directly into the details of the booking.

  8. It would be good that the bills that are in the Company Profile billing showed whether the reservation is 'Past', 'Future' or 'Checked in' so it is easier to issue invoices to big OTA providers like AirBnb, which have many bookings assigned at the same time. Currently you have to open and check every single bill.

    This could show the same way the 'Items: 1' tab does.

  9. When rebate an invoice it says on all lines "Additional expense (Additional expense rebate Bill ....) It is not possible to send a new changed invoice to customer with detailed information like: roomstay, citytax, breakfast.

  10. It should be possible to book TIP or expenses.
    Currently, Mews does not recognise this booking type, which means that we have to calculate everything manually and book via detours. This harbours great potential for error.

    Expense postings must be deducted directly from the cash register contents.
    Expenses should therefore not appear in the sales figures.

  11. good example to state my feature request:

    Some of our hotels offer breakfast as optional service. The customers add it when placing a reservation in the booking engine. The "breakfast during your stay" product is calculating the amount of persons and the amount of nights. We have the correct information that the booking is placed with 2 adults and 1 kid. The price of the breakfast for a kid is cheaper, so it could be interesting if you can add two prices in one product: a price for an adult and a price for a kid.

  12. We would like to schedule an export of the Manager Report for our Directors.

    However, the only option is to export to a spreadsheet. Ideally they need to see a clean PDF version with the same simple formatting that we can see on the MEWs page.

    i.e. can we please have an export format in PDF for the Manager Report, that matches the same onscreen formatting in MEWS, which we can schedule to send automatically to a selected Export Target?

    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.

  13. iDEAL Payment request
    It is also possible to send a business iDEAL Payment Request to your customers. You can do this by sending a link via various channels, including e-mail, SMS or WhatsApp. For example, the iDEAL Payment Request is used to let customers pay afterwards, to pay for digital invoices or to settle (monthly) subscription fees. Research has even shown that a digital invoice that contains a link for an iDEAL payment is paid on average three times as fast.

  14. Making a refund in Mews is easy and quick, however, when leaving notes as reason for refund, internal information that mean to be shared only with staff, it shows on the bills or invoice, leaving a very unprofessional image. Guests should not see what we write as notes.

  16. When we ask for a deposit; Often, guest accounting department ask us for a down payment bill (deposit bill). Usually 30% of the total reservation.

    It would be great to be able to edit a down payment bill (deposit bill) automatically calculated (a specific percentage) from the reservation total balance.

  18. In the accounting category classifications there are several "hard coded" classifications like Food and Beverage, Accommodation, .... etc.
    For better classification it should be possible to add some free to fill in classifications.
    At least the classification Food and Beverage should be split into Food, Beverage if free classifications aren't possible, because these are common used classifications.

  19. At the moment: it is only possible to charge 1 night for accommodation automatically. It is not possible to charge the products for just the first night only, when you have products with a reservation, it will charge all of them. So a great new feature with be to automatically charge the products of the first night instead of all the products

  20. At the moment when looking at open accounts it shows all of the open accounts for people past, present and future.

    It makes it extremely hard to check what open accounts we have now when having future bookings associated with this list. I would really like it if mews would take future bookings out of this list so it makes it easier for users and hotels.
