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. When the bill is fully paid upon checkout, the bill can be automatically closed, when the receptionist clicks "check out".

    Otherwise we get the following error: "To enable check-out, make sure that all bills are paid and the Unpaid items / Deposits section is empty. If there are any open items, convert them to a bill and then close it." on fully PAID bills, and to "bypass" that error, we just close the bill, without posting anything. Or some receptionists just move everything to a new bill, once again without posting anything, and only then they can check out the…

  2. Option to directly add the CC in the process of making a new reservation. Otherwise you need to go to the profile and add it there. It cost extra steps / clicks and also the change to forget to add the CC.

    It shout also be linked to the rate you choose -> non refundable, always ask for a CC.

  3. When rebate an invoice, the original invoice number should show at the PDF, at the header level.
    Then no need for that information on each item line.
    And no need for the customer to be informed about the reason for the rebate - that is for internal use and should be an option to show/not show at the PDF

  4. An option to cancel the invoice which would then post all the charges on that invoice back onto the billing tab with the original consumption date. From there we can then negative out what needs to be cancel and then settle the charges as required. This would be a great option for accounts that are settled via EFT.

  5. It would be great if you could receive a notification when only a certain number of rooms (or room category) are available. This would prevent overbooking.

  8. Is there a way to move one or more bookings from one group to either a new one or another already excising group?
    merge doesn't work as it somehow moves ALL the group bookings even if you only have ticked those that you need to move.
    if not possible, could it be made possible please as sometimes you add a booking by mistake and now you need to cancel it and make again. if the guest is already in-house, that is of course not an option!

  10. The Manager Report ran by Accounting category adds up inventory from different spaces. But when we create a Stay space and a Day Use space, it multiplies our inventory, although it's linked to the same exact rooms. Therefore, occupancy is always incorrect. For example, my property has 24 rooms, but because I linked each room to both Stay and Day Use, the report states 48 rooms and occupancy is incorrect. The system should understand that because it's linked to the same rooms, it should not multiply inventory.
    Thanks!

  11. Change the name of out of service, out of service means can't be used in real terms but in mews means still for sale. Doesn't make any sense and too similar to out of order, both mean the same thing. Out of service should say minimal maintenance

  12. It is a real shame, that in your support email replies you cannot include at the bottom the initial requests which shows a detailed explanation of the issue submitted.
    So one has to always dig back to find out what one originally said in a previous email. With several tickets open this can get really confusing.
    I would highly recommend you change your system, so the full history of conversations is always on ONE ticket, including the original request.

  13. Hello. We need a report that indicates when a guests added nights to their stay.
    Currently under the updated reports section it includes any reservation that had even a minor change, like a note added or another person.

    Ex. lets say I have a guest that books for Oct 1-31 for $100 a night for a total of $3100. On Oct 15 they tell you they want to add the month of November so another 30 days an additional $3000. When I look at the booking it shows total revenue of $6,100. When I submit my weekly report of what…

  16. 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

  17. Nous avons inclus nos lits supplémentaires dans le système mais pourquoi n'est il pas possible de voir leur disponibilité jour par jour? Nous avons dû créer un Excel pour faire cela et être sûr de ne pas être en surbooking de lit sup. Merci


    We have included our extra beds in the system but why is it not possible to see their availability day by day? We had to create an Excel to do this and be sure not to be overbooked. Thanks

    Hello from the Mews product team,


    Thank you for your suggestion. It is currently only possible to view extra beds by selecting individual  rooms each day in the Availability and Occupancy report.


    We have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community, for consideration to show extra beds per day in the Availability and Occupancy report.

    Hello from the Mews Product team,


    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. 


    Based on your feedback, would you be able to confirm with us if you are attempting to split a reservation or move a reservation to another space when your hotel is full?


    Kind regards,

    Aldair

  19. Now it is possible to use age categories. But these age categories just affects the room revenue. We need it also for products. For example child pricing: in a package (room + breakfast) not just the room rate should be reduced but also the product breakfast.

    Great solution would be like that: in the product rule, we should be able to choose, if the product "breakfast adult" would be added when there are just adults in the room and the product "breakfast child" would be added, when there is another age category choosed. So basically product addition in product rules…

  20. In the action Logs, UTC is used to describe all actions, however this doesn't make sence for our propterty as we use CEST. Therefore we would suggest to use the time where a proptery is located instead of UTC so we don't need to manually calculate the changes each time.
