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. Il arrive très souvent que les clients se présentent au check in seuls alors que la réservation était faite pour 2 personnes ou que la répartition du nombre de personnes (adultes, ados, enfants, bébés) ait besoin d'être modifiée. Il y a au moins systématiquement les taxes de séjour en produits réservables additionnels ainsi que des petits-déjeuners packagés (avec des tarifs différents selon l'âge des occupants) si le tarif est BB. On voudrait avoir plus d'options pour notamment pouvoir "conserver l'ancien prix de l'hébergement" et non pas "conserver l'ancien prix" comme actuellement qui est en fait le prix total hébergement +…

  2. Currently if a use attempts to set an early arrival for a booking (especially Availability Block group) the early Check-In time is rejected because the block is missing the necessary adjustments. In other words, the system cannot consider early check-in due to conflict with the occupancy time established in the stay settings.

    However, this is an avenue for additional income and also for personalized service - clients often find themselves without many options when it comes to that.

    On top of the possibility to create "Early C/I products", there should also be a button that could facilitate an earlier check-in…

  3. We like to do the room cleaning every 2 days for stayovers. This works fine with the intervall setting. But when it comes to the check out, it gets a bit confusing when the cleaning staff is using the app. Sometimes rooms are vacant very early and the reception is not informed about it. So the cleaning staff see only the room as checked and not as dirty, cause the room is not checked out. If the housekeeping switch the status to clean before check out, the room will automatically marked as dirty after check out. Helpfully would be if…

  4. Das Anliegen ist nur eine Kleinigkeit, aber es wäre toll, wenn man irgendwo ein Anfangsdatum anlegen muss, dass das Enddatum automatisch NACH dem Anfangsdatum wäre. Wenn man Restriktionen erstellt, ist es ja auch immer so, dass wenn ich z. B. "von 1.6.25" anklicke, bei "bis" automatisch ein Datum ab dem 1.6.25 wählbar ist.

    Bei vielen anderen Punkten im System ist es nicht so, da steht dann bei "bis"-Daten immer automatisch das heutige Datum, also z. B. wenn ich einen Promocode anlege und bei "für Reservierungen ab dem..." den 1.6.25 anwählen würde, lande ich bei "Reservierungen bis" wieder beim heutigen Datum…

  5. We have rates with rental services included. As we only have a limited number of stand-up paddles, for example, it would be great to limit this arrangement: “this rate can only be booked 5 times per night”.
    I currently have to regularly check whether the rate has been booked in order to close it manually for these nights.

  6. Possibility to enable the use of specific Counters and Fiscal Printers only for some users/roles.

    Currently, the user must manually select the counter for the bill and the fiscal printer each time a document is issued. This leads to errors and makes issuing corrections very time-consuming. By allowing the assignment of which counters and fiscal printers a user or role is authorized to use, the overall user experience would be significantly improved.

  7. Show Rates connected to Segment. We have certain rates with certain segments. When creating a booking and so choosing a segment it should only show rates with that segment.

  8. i dont know why it is like this... That clients can’t access their invoice themselves. In fact, in Canada, it’s usually illegal not to send an invoice. Currently, account statements are not available in Mews.

    Also, in the pro forma invoice, the GST and QST numbers are missing, and taxes (including tax numbers) are extremely important in Quebec.

    In short, we need to:

    Provide access for clients to retrieve their invoices themselves.
    
    Include tax numbers everywhere and show a detailed breakdown of the taxes.
    
    Automate invoice delivery: when a client makes a reservation, they should receive either a link to

  9. It would be great if MEWS had an option during build and for future changes, to allow a bulk upload or download of products within services for monitoring - currently updating prices, adding or removing products is laborious for properties and very time consuming; having the ability like guest profiles to upload and download would be much quicker and save a lot of time.

  10. Es ist wichtig, die buchbaren Zusatzprodukte in den Buchungsstrecken individuell anlegen zu können. Wir haben verschiedene Pakete und bieten nicht überall dieselben Zusatzprodukte an oder sie sind in einigen Paketen schon inkludiert. Da diese Auswahl aktuell nicht möglich ist, kommt es immer wieder zu Missverständnissen und Gäste buchen Produkte dazu, die bereits enthalten sind oder für bestimmte Pakete nicht zur Verfügung stehen.

  11. Maintenace - all columns in TASKS are Sortable = Dropdown menu
    Could you enable column sorting (e.g., by "Name,")? This would help us organize tasks, such as sorting hotel rooms in ascending or descending order.
    Would appreciate your feedback on possible solutions. Our previous sytem had this and we m,iss this feature a lot.

  12. As we also write important information for the check out in the comments, it would be useful if these were also always automatically displayed in the check out report. Currently you have to select them in the filter/options. With every action, however, the selection is always canceled and must be selected again.

  13. When a group booking is optional, costs are 0. This way we don't know how many revenue a group is holding. We'd like to see a tentative saldo and a definite saldo. So if a group still needs to be confirmed, we still want to see the costs involved.

  15. I feel like a basic feaure for anyone who is using the internet for work is to use tabs in the web browser. Especially in the reception where you are often working on multiple things, and reservations at once.

    So that you cannot use the very common hot key CTRL + click to open a new tab is frustrating. That you cannot even use the old school way by right clicking is BEYOND frustrating.

    When I do "detective" work regarding a reservation, payment or really anything in the system I want to be able to quickly set up tabs for…

  16. In a scenario where a multi property shares its customer addressbook across multiple hotels it is difficult to connect 3rd party tools that aim to access only a subset of customer (e.x. only of hotel A). The customer response should contain a field with a property id of where the specific customer was created

  17. Since the unpaid invoices only show in the owner's dashboard or list of Bills and Invoices, it's become a lot of more clicks to set it paid.

    We have some companies and tour operators, that pay with one amount up to 40 invoices by banktransfer. When those showed in the billing, I only had to select all of the invoices, transfer them to one new bill and could close this bill with 3 clicks.

    Now I have 5 clicks for each invoice, that makes with 40 bills about 140 clicks more than before and also takes a lot more time…

  18. If a guest checks in after 00:00, even 00:01, space status does not count that night as night 1. This causes errors on when the room is cleaned. It may be an idea to push this back to 03:00 to prevent errors.

  19. In Mews, it is possible to create a parent room, so one room could be sold as two separate rooms or together (room A + B = parent room). Ideally, we would like to also have the option so that when the customer books room A, room B is automatically removed from sales. This will prevent other people booking the other room.

  20. be able to turn off "Optional" and "Inquired" status for reservations. Have it be optional for a property and let the property control whether they want front desk agents to be able to access these statuses. Our property does not. It causes confusion.
