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. We are a standalone hotel falling under the same chain technically; we would like to have the chain name removed in all communication sent out since we have no affiliation with them.

  2. Send out a payment request to a custom email address.

    It'd be great if you could let us send payment requests to emails other than the one attached to the profile of the reservation itself.

  3. It would be very useful if you could view the status of an existing support case (e.g. see if it's been looked at, actioned, etc.) via the digital assistant. Currently once a case is submitted via the digital assistant, I'm not aware of a way to contact support without creating another case via the digital assistant. If you email [email protected] the automated reply says emails cannot be responded to directly, and creates another case.

    It would be much simpler if you could give your case number to the digital assistant to get a link to a summary page. Also, it…

  4. Would be great if you have the option to set up the default view of your invoices instead of choosing a different one you want at every time you print an invoice

  5. It would be helpful to have more charging rules or patterns for products.

    Especially for long term bookings (still with a nightly rate) it can be necessary to add a product on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly pattern.

  6. I think it would be very helpful to have the option to set customizable (per house, per user) templates for reports.

    In general I appreciate the flexibility in creating a report such as the reservation report.
    But if there is a report that is needed regularly, it can be a bit exhausting to everytime set all filters.
    To set up the scheduled exports is a solution only in case there is a fixed schedule. If we could have the option to select a template that would adjust the filters a certain way, this would be more than helpful and time…

  7. Please add the option to choose multiple Services within reports (e.g. Reservation Report), the dashboard and the timeline.

    If we add a service for nightly billing and one for monthly billing, both should be equally add up as arrivals and being reflected on an arrival report.

    For the dashboard, maybe we can have at least the possibility to select services that should be shown together on one dashboard. (Arrivals, departures, tasks)

    For the timeline, it is not very helpful that reservations for other services are visible but it is shown with the name of the service instead of the guests…

  8. As much as I appreciate the horizontal scrolling functionality and the monthly view, both options fall short when it comes to getting an overview of the booking situation for a few weeks.

    I would like to push the option of reducing the column width when looking at a daily timeline.

    That way we could get a better look at the day by day booking situation for more than a week.
    Considering already having the option to chose between a "default", "comfortable" and "compact" display of the row hights, using the same logic to reduce the column width is just logic…

  9. It would be very useful to create a time frame with different minimum capacity by room, i mean adapt capacity to diferent time periods to enable dynamic pricing for peak/low season.
    It's needed too to charge free children in one specific period for commercial purpouses

  10. It is essential for us to track which rooms are performing well in terms of mini/maxi bar sales, as our hotel offers different collections in the mini/maxi bars across various rooms. Therefore, we need a report detailing mini/maxi bar consumption by room number.

  11. Extend the Customers/getAll API so that customers can be searched by their phone number. This enables telephony integration. When a customer calls in it will be possible to display their name on the phone display and/or in the PBX web interface.

  12. Right now, there are so many details in the exported payment report in the excel file, but the mandatory refund reason is not there. It would be very helpful for us if it shows it in there as well when going through all the refunds.

  13. Please add the timeline view to the mobile app. Some properties would like to see the timeline on their phones as well since they utilize them often and throughout the day. This feature request came from Erin at Boardwalk Homes Executive Guest Houses & Suites.

  14. On Expedia Collect and Airbnb bookings, the OTA collects the occupancy tax (city tax) and not the property. It therefore requires us to make some unfortunate accounting adjustments at the end of each month.

    We would need to be able to choose which taxes apply to Travel Agents.

  15. Customer X has booked room category #1. If I manually upgrade him (drag and drop) to a higher category, say #2, then the OTA's availabilities will be updated to reflect this upgrade. Then, If I manually downgrade X in his original requested category the OTA'a availabilities will be once more updated and revert to their original state. However, if X is downgraded not by manual drag and drop but by being "bumped" into his original category through the dragging and dropping of another customer Y onto X's room, then the new availabilities resulting from this bumped downgrade will not be…

  16. There is a setting in the system to instruct optional and inquired reservations to auto release. To operate a waitlist it would be better to split this instruction so that inquired bookings auto release and optional reservations don't auto release.

  17. When using shared inventory in a hostel setting the occupancy graph is rendered almost unusable. When having a dorm sellable as a Dorm or a single bed, if arrivals was 1 for a bed on the day in the reservations section, the graph directly below will indicate 2 arrivals if the dorm was not occupied previously. There is only truly 1 arrival.

    Appreciating additional logic would need to be applied across the system, though this would make it far more actionable insights and give team members actionable information.

  18. We see that items on bill 13947 are ordered in a way that we don’t understand. Can you provide some clarification on this? Property wants to order items by date. Since the date sorting in the billing screen is not in order, the bill cannot be printed in date order.

    The issue occurs when bills are imported from Lightspeed, I think? I am not entirely sure on this but it seems to be the case.

    AFAIK we don’t have any ordering on bill items level.
    Therefore this is a feature request

  19. Gender / Nationality / Date of birth by booking

    Could we make madatory for a guest who is booking to fill his Gender / Nationality / Date of birth as well ? Right now he only has to fill his last name, email and phone number.

    We have an all-female-dorm and some men keep booking it for some reasons. Gender with "Woman / Man / Non binary (or diverse?) at the moment of booking could really help us. As it is mandatory for us to have the nationality of the guest as well as his birth date, those could be…

  20. When you put in a rate in Availability block the product rule that you have made should for the rate should follow. If I make a Availability block today and put in a rate the product rule for that rate doesn´t follow and I need to make a new product rule for every new block I do.
