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.

  2. Single Space Under 2 or more category type

    The feature to automatically disable the other category when one category is booked for a single room/bed is not available.

    For example Room 101 is a Quad room but I also want it to be a four-bed dormitory room. Depends on the first customer the bed will be selected as a quad room or a 4 bed dormitory. The other category will be disabled when another one is selected if dormitory it will be dormitory and quad room category will be disabled for that room.

  3. In order to check if restrictions are still valid / necessary, the occupancy (overall and per room type) should be displayed in the restrictions calendar (as in rate management). This is very important to check if MLOS and close restrictions are still valid.

  4. A guest's balance should be readily apparent at the top of their profile as soon as you click on their name on the timeline, without having to load the full profile or scroll down at all, for every type of reservation.

  5. With the Synxis > Mews integration we have the option to enable "Create company and travel agency profiles". Is it possible to also include a second step which creates a routing rule for the agency?

  6. It would be a big time saver if it was possible to send bills to Travel Agents (and other companies) automatically on a set date (e.g. the first of every month).

    With the new company billing features this would make the workflow very efficient and ensure that no bills would be forgotten to send.

  7. The automatic allocation should take the room status into consideration. Ex. we would like that it prioritize to allocate inspected rooms over dirty rooms.

  8. Be able to programme an export for an interval of 10 days.
    We analyse the management report by 10-day periods: from 1 to 10 - from 11 to 20 - from 21 to the last day of the month.
    It would be useful to be able to programme an export that includes these 3 intervals + the total for the month.

  9. It would be very helpful if it was possible to freeze the overbooking lines on top of the timeline while scrolling (akin to freezing panes in excel). Doing that would make it a lot easier for Agents to solve those issues as they'd be able to instantly see where the overbooking could fit, without scrolling between the free spaces and the overbooking line.

  10. In germany we have to split breakfast in two parts: breakfast food with 7% VAT and breakfast drinks with 19% VAT. This is complicated for the guest to understand as we need two breakfast products and also for the breakfast team in the product report. Does anyone have a solution for that or is there a possibility to merge the two breakfast products in one? We know that other PMS make this happen.

  11. When moving an already checked-in reservation at the timeline, there should be a pop up or similar to alert you that you are moving an already checked-in reservation and if you are sure you want to do that. We have had multiple accidents when we have moved a guest who has been checked in and then later we changed some room arrangements for other same day arrivals. This is also because the color for the checked-in reservations is just slightly darker grey which is very easy to miss.

  13. Often employees need just simple information like how much persons are in the house now. For just such a simple qeustions it would be great to email them this information by the report mailing function with a simple mail or better any other messaging system. The excel report is to bulky peoble who just night this simple info stop jusing the excel email report.

  14. When you have a room which cannot be checked out due to an open bill, you cannot transfer it to an open bill to arrange it later. Now when the hotel is fully booked you need to get rid of that reservation as otherwise you cannot do a new check in on that room.

  15. There is a need to send customizable pre-arrival emails, based off of pre-written templates that are specific to the guest's room type. A couple of different template options, and the ability to customize the message before sending it. That's what we need, desperately.

  16. In the comany profile there should be a way to "archive" or mark related contacts as "past" or "previous" contact persons. So that when one is viewing the related contacts of a company (customer profiles linked to a company profile) only the current hones are displayed, while the past contacts are still visible but cleary marked as "past contacts".

  18. When managing different bookable services, like we are. It would be helpful if you can show the name of the bookable service on the booking engine. As it can get confusing for guests to see the hotel's name on top when booking the apartments they manage under a different name across the street.

    Or, like us, when you manage multiple small properties in a single Mews environment, each with it's own name and address.

    On that note, being able to set a different address per bookable service would be great! In the transition to bookable services, this would be a…

  19. The product report does not show all products sold in one view. For example breakfast. We have to open 2-3 reports to show the total amount of breakfast sold. We need one overview of all products sold, not many overviews.

  20. We would like to track enquiry source far better than the system is able to now. We currently only have origin of booking however this currently tracks 'how' the guest booked - not 'how they heard about us'.

    As with many companies a significant amount of marketing spend it allocated to social media - there for to track conversion more closely is key.

    If a new tab for Enquiry Source/Marketing is not an option are we able to add 'Social Media' to the 'Origin' criteria?
