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. Currently, if a reservation is for multiple rooms, the cancellation policy remains the same as that of the rate group for which they were booked. It would be better, and easier to mitigate the risk of losing of a multi-room reservation, if there was an option of another cancellation policy being available once a minimum number of rooms have been reserved. This would allow us to change the cancellation period, meaning that they have to provide us with more notice of cancellation.

  3. Right now it is neccessary to select a employee to a Supervisor once at a time, but when there is a new supervisor, for example a duty- or hotelmanager, it is better to select all employees you want to move and move them all in one go. It takes a lot of time to move all housekeeping/FO/F&B to a new supervisor and it would be way easier to have control when you are able to select more employees all at once.

  4. On the dashboard of a guest, we cannot see in one eyesight the previous room number, we have to click on details, or open every past bill.
    It will be usefull to have this information on the screen where all past bookings are displayed, especially if it's a returning guest with a lot of previous stays

  5. At the moment, if you set up a rate automation for OTA rates, the same trigger will be used for both virtual and physical credit cards. Ideally, there would be extra conditional fields in an "if this, then that" format. For example:

    If Card type = Physical, then charge on confirmation
    If card type = virtual, then charge on start day

    This conditionality format would also allow for less rate groups, and increased flexibility if other conditions are also created. It could be implemented with an advanced settings button to keep the current layout as simple as possible.

  6. We would like to charge a deposit that reflects the amount of a booking. It could be a percentage, or a fixed amount per type accommodation. Now it is only possible to set it up per rate group, and it is a fixed amount. So a higher depoist with a booking/accommodation that is more expensive and a lower deposit with booking a Studio.

  8. Allow specific transactions to only be posted by management or have them not be visible to specific user group. For example, a discount to a dissatisfied guest or to balance out a chargeback reversal.

  9. Same idea here as what we can do with static rates.

    I.e. If we have a company rate that has 10 % off BAR. For next year they contract 15%.

    We have to wait until the date that the new contract starts and change the "Relative Adjustment" instead of being proactive and set the price beforehand with an override.

    This makes it bad for the customer as well cause they might want to book in advance but still get the old contract rate even tho they have a new rate coming up in just a couple of days.

  10. Ik zou graag een overzichtslijst willen hebben waarop ik kan zien welke kamers gekoppeld zijn/als groep geboekt hebben. Of een koppelteken bij deze kamers in de tijdlijn.
    Nu is het moeilijk om te zien of meerdere kamers bij elkaar horen. Dit is voor ons weer belangrijk om voor het diner of ontbijt te kijken hoeveel grote tafels we moeten indekken/hoeveel 4/6/8 persoons tafels we moeten indekken

  12. Housekeeping needs the information whether a child belongs to one or the other child category - in our hotel baby, kid or teen - housekeeping prepares a crib for a baby, a small bed for a child and a special place for teens - so they cannot work with the actual submitted informations.
    Please submit the child categories to the housekeeping reports.

  13. Section to enter arrival date and then number of nights for long stays. Instead of working out what 31 nights would be for example and using the calendar. This would then display a list of rooms availble for the number of nights entered.

  15. When pressing the new reservation button, the choice between individual reservation, block or quota booking with preset options should be available. It would be very helpful.

  16. It will be great if you could post and close a partial settlement for a debtor. That means that you can deduct automatically this payment and eventually issue invoice again in debtor.

  20. I would like to see where a company or travel agent profile is attached to a reservation, however the assigned billing company is a third party agent/TMC that is not the main company or travel agent to the booking but have the company / agent profile linked to the reservation also print onto the guest bill header details
