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. When marking a space as Out of Order, Mews currently provides no visibility into existing reservations that overlap with the OOO period. Property staff must manually search the timeline to identify affected bookings and reassign them one by one. This is time-consuming, particularly for larger properties, and leaves room for human error. A missed reservation can result in a guest being assigned to an unavailable room at check-in.

    Proposed Solution (tiered):

    Display affected reservations. When a space is set to Out of Order, present a summary of all reservations on that space that fall within the selected OOO dates. This…

  2. Problem:
    We use Out of Order (OOO) to manage rooms that are temporarily unavailable e.g. for repairs or renovations.
    However, the default end time is set to midday, which makes it unclear when the room should be included in daily cleaning plans. In addition, the room can only be updated to “Clean” after 12:00, once the OOO period has ended.

    This creates unnecessary confusion and limits flexibility in housekeeping operations—especially for teams working on mobile devices without access to adjust OOO blocks.

    Solution:
    Allow setting a default end time for Out of Order e.g. midnight, so it is clear which…

  4. We would like to suggest an improvement to how products are added manually in Mews.

    When a product is configured with timing: "reservation end", this should also apply when the product is added manually under the booking --> "Items".

    Currently, manually added products default to the arrival date, which requires manual correction every time.

    This would be especially useful for products such as:

    • Extra cleaning after pets
    • Pickup of additional items (e.g. linen, towels, baby chair, etc.)

    These types of products should always be posted at the end of the stay, as the service is performed after departure.

  5. It would be great to be able to print a registration card only for the owner. If the reservation is at least for two people and there are already their names the printer automatically prints registration cards for both guests. This is a waste of paper and useless. Is there any update coming soon?

  6. Problem:
    We have to export multiple reports each day to plan housekeeping. No single report gives us a full overview, so we need to combine different filters (e.g. arrival, no arrival, dirty, out of order) manually. This is timeconsuming and increases the risk of missing houses.

    Solution:
    Allow selecting multiple statuses and filters (e.g. “Dirty” and “Out of Order” or "arrival" and "no arrival nor stayover") in one report, so we can work from a single, complete list.

  7. By default, Mews only moves the line items, but does not transfer the associated profile when items are moved within the same customer. We need to have the associated profile be copied to the new bill when moving the items

  8. In timeline to have space feature in the hovering/mouse over effect at the room number would be time saving.

    We have a lot of different rooms and it would so great to just hover over the room number to see space features. Do we have stairs in that specific room, is it a newly renovated room, room in the garden house etc etc.

    We have a lot of new staff that do not know the specifics for all the rooms and planning for arrivals this would be awesome.

  9. Currently it seems like the algorithm to recommend/decide price changes dominantly triggers for dates where a change in occupancy is detected.
    Market shifts and pricing changes in the compset are less often reflected in pricing decisions, it seems. This can easily lead to pricing oneself out of the market.
    Maybe this is a problem that small hotels are more seeing because a nominally small change in occupancy (eg. 3-4 rooms being booked for a date) are relatively large changes in occupancy (like 10-20% maybe), which probably is a strong signal for atomize to raise prices, but when at the same…

  12. Proposal: Automatic MLOS Restrictions Based on High-Demand Days in Atomize

    I would like to propose a feature where Atomize (RMS by Mews) can automatically apply MLOS (Minimum Length of Stay) restrictions based on manually set predefined criteria, such as high-demand periods.

    Currently, MLOS restrictions must be set up manually in the “Restrictions” section (e.g., Min LOS arrival or Min LOS through). This process can be time-consuming and less responsive during periods of rapidly changing demand.

    The proposal is:
    Enable Atomize to detect high-demand situations (based on metrics like occupancy, pickup, or forecast) and automatically apply relevant MLOS restrictions according…

  13. I would like OTA-delivered Special Requests (stored in the reservation Properties tab) to be visible in reservation reports and in the Arrivals preview, so staff don’t miss guest-specific details. This is counter intuitive to the highly personalized service we strive for.

  16. Option A: Add a “Snapshot” Button

    Introduce a Print button in the Reservation Overview >> Print output mirrors the page as is.

    Similar to existing print‑enabled reports (e.g., Space Status)

    Option B: Export as PDF

    Add Export → PDF (Layout View) alongside Excel
    Preserves:

    Page UI formatting
    Column order
    Grouping
    Visual hierarchy
    Header Titles (Stayovers, Arrivals, etc...)

    📌 Either option alone would significantly improve usability; offering both is ideal but not required for initial delivery.

    Acceptance Criteria

    ✅ Layout in print/PDF matches the on‑screen Reservation Overview as a Snapshot
    ✅ Respects filters, dates, and sorting applied by the user.
    ✅…

  17. Add a Validity Period to the Voucher Redemption Additional Service Product, with the following behavior:

    Configuration

    Allow users to define:

    Valid from date
    Valid until date

    Optional toggle:
    (a) “Enforce validity on redemption” or
    (b) A Voucher Redemption Toggle that reveals a date picker.

    System Behavior

    Voucher Redemption can only be posted if:

    The Consumption date falls within the validity period

    If outside the range:

    Mews prevents posting and surfaces a clear validation message

    📌 Example error:

    “This voucher is no longer valid and cannot be redeemed.”

    Acceptance Criteria

    ✅ Validity dates are configurable at the Additional Service Product level…

  18. It would be crucial for us to have a option when creating an availability block "copy rate description and product rules from base rate".

    At the moment we have to copy and paste the rate description from the base rate for ~300 blocks/year as the availability block rate description for us is the same as the base rate description. Same applies for product rules.

    To allow for flexibility with other customers it would be great to have this as an option when creating the block.

  20. Hello R&D team,

    It would be great to have a more visual price screening page on Atomize to see the competition with a glance. Also the number of competitors could be increased to 8-10 to have a better representation of the market.

    Thanks and have a great day,
