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.

  3. In the billing screen, please allow user to tick the item to correct/adjust and foresee and foresee and adjust/partial adjust button to do the correction in same screen.

    Eg: a beer of €5 appears on invoice but was wrongly posted. Now, we need to go to add product, select the correct service (F&B 21%) and book negative amount.

    This is not seamless and from experience, as operator needs to manually select in which service to adjust.

    I see that the service or product selected for the adjustment is not always the same as the service/product that was initially posted. Eg.…

  4. At present the available Space Status are Dirty, Clean & Inspected (OOS & OOO).

    From a front office and housekeeping perspective this is limiting.

    Could you please consider the following please?

    VACANT READY - Inspected
    OCCUPIED DIRTY - Guest checked in
    OCCUPIED READY - Inspected stay over
    VACANT DIRTY - Guest checked out
    PICKUP - Room move and for housekeeping to inspect

    This would offer more clarity as to not only the status of the room but also the ‘condition’, meaning the physical status of the room (guest). This is important for the operation of a hotel.

    Please consider this…

  8. When making optional bookings, this means we are holding a room/rooms but the booking is not confirmed.
    If this bookings is never confirmed, we should have an status called released instead of cancelled, as you are not really cancelling the booking, you are releasing the booking.

    Should you have more information that you would like to share regarding a “released” reservations status or reporting, please feel free to do so in the comments below.

  9. We use the booker field for our paymaster indications for groups.

    It would be great if the booker would come up as a suggested customer to move the bill items to, when we move items from the bill.

    So in the move section all possible customer profiles that are attached to a reservation are listed as option.

  11. When we have a promotionnal rate derived from another rate group
    The strikeout price is the most expansive price of the same rate group.
    But the rate can be derived from a rate code that is in another rate group.
    When we apply the discount on this base rate, to have the derived rate, the striked-out rate should be the one used for the derivation instead of the most expansive of the group.

    Hello all,

    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.

  12. When using MEWS to manage a small F&B outlet via Services/Products, it would be nice to be able to link a small POS slip printer e.g. Epson TMT-20, to issue guests a cash invoice for the service if requested that is not on A4.

  13. At the moment there is no way to check Outstanding Balances in a report format for a particular day.

    Having a daily or 'period wise' Outstanding Balance Report will help front desk receptionist and supervisors to monitor payments for check in/ check out guests with ease and not miss out a guest who has not paid.

    A status with a green 'tick' can also be placed on the reservation on the timeline to visually help front desk agents to point out which reservation has a pending balance if any.

  14. It makes sense to be able to see not only imminent (Pending) or past-date (Missed) tasks but also upcoming (Future) tasks on the main page ("Tasks" doughnut) - without having to go into the report every single time.

    The current state of affairs makes it often necessary to remind staffers of upcoming tasks outside of that section (or outside of MEWS e.g. emails, sticky-notes et al.), which does not make for a stellar user experience.

  15. 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. a solution for a minimum length of stay restrictions setup where the applied minimum stay restrictions reduce in steps as we near the arrival date.
    The client set 3 close to stay restrictions which take into consideration the 3 following rules:

    If one were to book 60+ days ahead of arrival they would be required to book a minimum of 14 days
    If one were to book 35-59 days ahead of arrival they would be required to book a minimum of 4 days
    If one were to book 0-35 days ahead of arrival they would be required to book a…
