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. To effectively utilize the Availability Blocks section, we need the ability to pick up rooms from a block that has an optional booking status. We often work with call-in allocations, where clients reserve a set number of rooms (e.g., 50) for their participants. As participants book rooms, the booking status changes to "confirmed" once a room is booked for an individual.

  2. Booker sends in a rooming list - this should be able to be uploaded to the block so each room is picked up and a reservation is made to the correct room type

    Also to be able to pull rooming list in a nice format with our exporting unnecessary information. Wedding are always asking for a list of names and dates of who booked in their group

  6. It would be great to have a way to visually identify which members belong to the same group within the timeline and check-in screen.

    For example, groups could be represented through color coding, icons, or visual markers. This would make it immediately clear at a glance who belongs together, without having to check details or hover over tooltips.

    Possible approaches could include:

    Assigning a unique color to each group (e.g. pastel backgrounds or small colored indicators).

    Adding group icons or symbols next to each member’s name.

    Displaying group borders or headers to clearly separate teams or related entries.

    This improvement…

  7. The "group by" filter in the reservation report does not differentiate between groups with 1 reservation and those with 3+ reservations. Mews assigns a group reference/name to all regardless of the number of reservations in the group.

    For better group management, we need a more comprehensive group reporting for all corporate/business/conference groups at a property which would aid in easier marketing, financial performance, and reservation management.

  9. 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…

  10. It would be nice to provide the proforma invoice when a group block is confirmed to share the initial preview without any picked-up reservations.

  11. When you put in a rate in Availability block the product rule that you have made should for the rate should follow. If I make a Availability block today and put in a rate the product rule for that rate doesn´t follow and I need to make a new product rule for every new block I do.

  12. Often we get attendees that make reservations outside of the group block, usually by human error. It would be ideal if we can edit the rate code or change their rate to a group rate block and then, after changing the code, it automatically changes the room rate to match the group rate, applies the group routing rules, group product rules. I have seen this is all our previous PMS systems, I am confused why its not an option.

  13. It is not possible to use dynamic rates for availability blocks, only set rates. As some groups or crews have dynamic agreements, this means the hotel can’t set the correct rate for them.

    Since Mews now will work on groups with different release dates etc. (“allotment”) will it be considered to also look into dynamic pricing from availability blocks?

  14. Group confirmation should have a more simple overview, one line per space category and per single/double use. Each line should have the folloring "tabs"/information: number of rooms, unit price, total pris, VAT. Group bookers asks for a simple overview and not 120 lines for each room.
    This confirmation should be generated in a PDF file and in vertical format.

  15. Enable assigning specific rooms to the group block. Properties should be able to block specific room numbers for the group so that the groups are staying close to each other.

  16. The ideas around the reservation summary is a good start, but we would like to also attach group T&C's as reference when guests sign and check in. some of the detail required.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your suggestions and feedback. We are currently researching improvements to group functionality and have updated this request as one to be upvoted by the Mews community.

    We would like to know if you would be referencing the T&C for your staff in group summary, or if you would be adding this information to a registration card/ confirmation email for your guests?

    We look forward to your continued feedback and suggestions.

    Kind regards,
    Aldair

  17. We have groups that come through our property often and know their days well in advance, however there is a contract in place and they must let us know x amount of days in advance if they want to keep that reservation.

    I'd like Mews to develop a way to bulk input multiple "optional" reservations at the same time rather then entering each resv one by one

    Hello Mewsers,

    Thank you for your suggestions and feedback. We are currently researching improvements to group functionality and have updated this request as one to be upvoted by the Mews community.

    In order to assist us with our research we would like to gather additional use cases for groups. Would you be able to share more information with us regarding how you envision a “Group offer calculator” to work?

    Kind regards,
    Aldair

  19. When we change something in a big group, the loading takes a long time and after some minutes we will receive a time out error. Then we have to change this per 10 rooms, otherwise it's not working as it should be. Our accounting team has the same problems with creating reports requested by his external auditor. It took them 2 days to get the requested reports, due the time out error they had to reduce the timeframe every time. they started for 1 year, and made the time every time smaller.
