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. Make a view specially designed for the breakfast team.

    They want to have a few with: guestname, roomnumber, how many persons. They want to track who came and who still need to have breakfast. So a simple checkbox in that list would do.

    Also the day before a prediction for the amount of breakfast next day, that is easy to access for the breakfast team members.

    Hi Mewsers!

    We are very happy to inform you that we have officially released a new filter in the Guest in house report, that will allow you to view products consumed during the report’s selected interval.

    We hope this update will help your teams handle the morning breakfast rush a little easier.

    To learn more about the update, please visit our release notes page.

  2. There is only one value which can be assigned to a stay product. Some products can have variable values. A setting would be helpful to allow some products to have their value changed. This would allow for variable products to be billed/reported against reservations as opposed to as editable service product.

    All users on Mews can view and modify tasks of all the other users. This means that Admins can do the same with their users.  Please see our user guide for instructions.

  6. On the timeline sometimes when we have over bookings we need to play the old tetris move some people and re-arrange their stay in order to fit everybody in, however when there is hardly any room you cant simply move the bookings easily. what would be very very VERY useful will be to have a section where you could dump up to 3 bookings in order to make some room while you try to fit everyone in. kinda like a blank space at the top of the timeline or a little pool for tetris you know you can even call…

    Hello from the Mews product team,

    Thank you for the suggestions and upvotes.

    With the addition of the Optimise Space allocation on the timeline, the old tetris game just got easier!

    Not only do you have to worry less about playing tetris on the timeline, you can also choose to move reservations to an extra slot from the reservations module by selecting “none” instead of selecting a room number; this action can be performed for several reservations.

    You’ll now be able to view the reservation(s) that you have moved in the overbooking slot from the timeline, from here you can easily arrange and rearrange reservations as per your preference, or select the optimise timeline button to automatically move the reservations to an optimal location.

    Kind regards,
    Aldair

  7. Recently a check in a create keys button was added to each booking which is great it checks in and creates the keys for the customers HOWEVER! it only works after 4pm, because our official check in is at 4pm. what we would like will be the function to work at any time! and instead a pop up will appear that will say it is not 4pm yet would you like to create the key? yes, no. and it will create them either way as long as it leaves a record that they were created before or after 4.

    If…

    This was due to a bug that has since been resolved. A key can be cut at any time after the reservation is checked in. As long as the check-in is completed, there is no problem cutting a key prior to the default reservation start time set by the property.

  8. We have received an error message 'reservation too long'. Currently reservations can only be accepted < 365 days. We need to be able and show there is business for long stays for our stakeholders and therefore splitting the reservations provide wrong information regarding the LOS. I would advise extending this time frame to 2 years

    Hello, reservations longer than a year can be created through monthly bookable services functionality. The maximum length is restricted to 5 years.


    In the coming months, the team will focus on improving the functionality for long stays (monthly reservations) and introduce pro-rating, flexible housekeeping and product posting.


    Read more about the monthly services here.

  9. As promised here is the video with the 2 issues that our reception team will be delighted with if they are improved :)

    The first one: when creating invoices, see timecode 1:17, Pam needs to highlight and copy the booking reference number from that booking on the dashboard tab for that booking, she then needs to go to the billing tab and manually paste the number so then the invoice can be generated for the customer. Now imagine having to do this for every single booking every day. On friday she will need to do this over 120 times, this…

    Hello Mewsers,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    We are very happy to inform you that it is possible to print empty registration cards.

    The feature can be set up from your registration card configuration settings. Under the “Options” menu, select “Print based on person count”. When this setting is enabled, you will be able to print an additional blank registration card for all reservations where companion details have not yet been completed.

    Should you have and questions, or additional feedback, please let us know in the comments section below.

    Kind regards,

    For larger groups you can use the availability block report to view group information.

  13. Currently the only area to add a booking reference (OTA or other) is in the notes field. This should be a field within the reservation screen that can then be used to locate a reservation.
    This is especially important where multiple reservations are received on the one booking file but are for a different party within that reservation..maybe with same surname but different dates of stay.
    It is also helpful if reconciling commission statements etc

    Dear Team,
    Sorry to hear that you find it overwhelming when we update you about the features we are working on.
    We have improved the workflow, and now you’ll not receive pop-up messages but rather you have a small icon in the PMS – where with a click of a button you can review all the updates. Thank you for the feedback once again!

    Many thanks for the feedback! Idea exists in the system just by filtering wider range of years, and comparison is there! Easy – breezy! :)

  16. Would be much easier to assign floors to every housekeeper instead of spaces. They already work everyday by floor so would help them to keep the same organization that we have today. Also regarding the assignments would it be nice if they can see them on the Commander app. That will void printing reports everyday. The supervisor can assign a floor and the housekeeper can be able to see that on the app in order to know what need to be done during their shift.

    Hello dear Mews user,

    We are happy to announce that Day use functionality in Mews has been released.

    Day uses for bookable services bring increased flexibility.

    Now it’s possible to set up bookable services in Mews for day use, allowing guests to reserve and use spaces at your property for a limited time period during a single day.

    Day uses are a great way to expand the range of services you offer, attract new guest segments, and increase your revenue and occupancy rates. You can offer luxurious “daycations” to locals, cater to travelers looking for a few hours’ rest during layovers, or host professionals in need of temporary workspaces or meeting rooms.

    Check link below to learn more about the basics of day use bookable services, then get started by following our guide on how to set up your own.

  19. We would love a report that we can pull for housekeeping to estimate staffing levels - only with upcoming arrival and departure dates, without guests email addresses, phone numbers and rates. A possibility to strip out that information automatically would be great to send it to an outsourced housekeeping team.

    Hello from the Mews product team!

    We are happy to announce that we have released an update to the way in which product rules are structured.

    What has changed?

    You will now be able to add multiple products to each product rule.

    What does this mean?

    Where you used to need 4 rules containing the same conditions for 4 different products, you now only require 1.

    For more information, please visit our release notes page at https://releases.mews.com/ where you will find some great examples, as well as a link to the updated guide.

    Kind regards,
    Aldair
