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. There is a setting in the system to instruct optional and inquired reservations to auto release. To operate a waitlist it would be better to split this instruction so that inquired bookings auto release and optional reservations don't auto release.

  2. When using shared inventory in a hostel setting the occupancy graph is rendered almost unusable. When having a dorm sellable as a Dorm or a single bed, if arrivals was 1 for a bed on the day in the reservations section, the graph directly below will indicate 2 arrivals if the dorm was not occupied previously. There is only truly 1 arrival.

    Appreciating additional logic would need to be applied across the system, though this would make it far more actionable insights and give team members actionable information.

  3. We see that items on bill 13947 are ordered in a way that we don’t understand. Can you provide some clarification on this? Property wants to order items by date. Since the date sorting in the billing screen is not in order, the bill cannot be printed in date order.

    The issue occurs when bills are imported from Lightspeed, I think? I am not entirely sure on this but it seems to be the case.

    AFAIK we don’t have any ordering on bill items level.
    Therefore this is a feature request

  4. Gender / Nationality / Date of birth by booking

    Could we make madatory for a guest who is booking to fill his Gender / Nationality / Date of birth as well ? Right now he only has to fill his last name, email and phone number.

    We have an all-female-dorm and some men keep booking it for some reasons. Gender with "Woman / Man / Non binary (or diverse?) at the moment of booking could really help us. As it is mandatory for us to have the nationality of the guest as well as his birth date, those could be…

  5. 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.

  6. The "city" focused filter will allow Sales and Revenue Departments to have the option to pull for more specific/localized stats of their visitors as opposed to a whole region/territory/filter which could affect product creation sales and marketing campaign (Without needing to export to Excel + filter the customer profiles report)

  7. Require solution for Reservation Report based on accurate and exact interval of staying/overnight during the selected period only, for example from 01-01-2024 to 31-01-2024 without including the overnight stay on previous month even the whole booking may overlap.

  8. Have a printable or Export button available on both the

    __ Bookable Service Product Page
    __ Rate Management Page

    *Revenue Management: For both rate and product management, having an export/print option helps the properties keep detailed historical data of their products, a better cleanup, and easier financial analysis.

    *Front Office: For potential Upsell purposes

  9. there are too many clicks considering how often we do this and having to go back to click check out after sending an invoice is super annoying and can often mean forgetting. Also please make the check out button another color, it would help more than you can imagine!

  10. In Spain, where I reside, it is mandatory by law for an invoice to include a passport or ID to be valid. Currently, when a customer enters their passport information into the reservation system, it does not automatically populate on the invoice. This requires manual entry for each reservation, which is time-consuming and prone to errors with all the companies that at least work in Spain.

    Suggested Solution:

    It would be very helpful to have an automatic transfer of the passport information from the reservation system to the invoice field.

    Benefits:

    Improved Efficiency: Reduces manual work and saves time for

  11. Gift vouchers allow your customers to share their appreciation for a brand with others. These prepaid vouchers can be used for purchases at the establishment, both in-person and online.

    Once a gift voucher is sold, the amount is stored in the transaction records. Upon a guest's stay at the establishment, the gift voucher is redeemed on the arrival date. Often, only a portion of the voucher's value is redeemed. This process should be straightforward and automated to minimize manual tasks at the front desk.

    The establishment requires a report detailing the vouchers sold, those consumed, and those fully or partially…

  15. the employees at the front office who process early check-ins and therefore check the room status often start the check-in process because the room status is inspected, yet only because the room is not yet checked out. Only at check-out room status moves to dirty.

    Unfortunately, the pop-up on the tablet (Kiosk in staff mode) that the room is not ready for occupancy only comes after the guest has entered their data and signed.

    Would be great if there would be a sign if the room is still occupied, in the check-in screen or if the room moves to dirty…

  18. Bluserena needs caparra to be available in order to use it as pre payment for stays and VAT on caparra should come across as 0 as the VAT is calculated in the whole stay at the end so the deposit would be wrong as it calculates the VAT as 10%

  19. Residents can book their stay with an open end date. Guests are staying for more than 1 year at the same property and instead of offering them an end date and another guest can book the same room, they would like to book it for one guest only.
