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. currently there is a maximum stay of 365 nights. for our business that just isn't acceptable as we regularly have people stay for several years. we would need to split the reservation which would impact on reports and give falls data and comparison figures.
    fair enough if you want to build in a warning message if you book for more than 365 nights, but do not limit a business or allow each business to set their own limit of maximum stay.

  2. It would be very helpful to create a notification alerting the department/employees that a new task has been assigned.

  3. Address in the Reservation Report should be broken down and not in one cell. It leads to the impossibility to use those data.

    My use case is as follows:

    I would like to be able to select all guests coming from specific cities/countries to be more efficient and quick when communicating (specially relevant in terms of COVID when you have a lot of cancellations coming from certain countries/cities)

  4. When dealing with a booking extension ( checked-in) Mews automatically changes the room allocation to a new vacant room. This does not make any sense as the guest is already in house, and Mews should not be able to change by itself an In-house reservation. This is leading into a lot of check-ins into occupied rooms and therefore, guest complaints.

  5. Rather than having a long list all spaces, by making beds collapsible under their parent room, it will improve the user experience having a short list to scan through when making alterations.

  6. Task linked to arrival / departure date - ensure you are able to link a task to a specific event in the reservation like the departure date; meaning that if the departure date changes, so thus the task. Ideally, you should also be able to set a plus or minus days for this link (i.e. check one day prior to departure if guest has returned the DVD player)

    Hello from the Mews product team,

    Thank you for your suggestion, we have updated the title of your request to " Link tasks to arrival / departure date" so that it is easy to understand and search for other members of the Mews community. Your request has also been updated as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community.

  7. When making optional bookings, this means we are holding a room/rooms but the booking is not confirmed.
    If this bookings is never confirmed, we should have an status called released instead of cancelled, as you are not really cancelling the booking, you are releasing the booking.

  9. we need a reason - test. We run tests in demo and smoke tests in prod.
    Would be great if we can take out cancellation statistics by this reason, in case they were test bookings

  10. we wish to be able to set a maximum limit of rooms bookable by a client (absolute limit and limit by room categories) in order to avoid privatization of the establishment, for example.

  11. IT BECOMES MORE CONFUSING WHILE SEARCHING A NO SHOW YOU NEED TO SEARCH THE CANCELLED RESERVATION AND IN DETAILS YOU GET THE NO SHOW BUT INSTEAD GIVE AN OPTION FOR DIRECT NO SHOW RESERVATION MUCH MORE EASY AND RELIABLE

    Hello from the Mews product team,

    Thank you for your feedback, we are investigating the case you have reported with regards to issues when refreshing the timeline and would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused

  13. When you add a product to a reservation, you can enter a consumption time.
    If you work with shifts/meal times for instance, it would be nice to have the consumption time (hh:mm) in your product report.

  14. Automated decrease of implemented overbooking levels,
    when resolving red lines in timeline.

    We overbook a lot, however when doing our room planning via the timeline, resolving the over bookings, the rooms as back for sales, so we would need to go into the availability screen and lower it manually. Would be great if this process can be automated, reducing the risk of to many overbookings.

  17. When adding house use in the timeline the assigned (short) names are not visible but only room numbers. It is impossible to differentiatie between the space categories when the room numbers are identical.

  19. When clicking on a specific unit, there is a section where you can see all the OOO that are scheduled for that unit and any future OOO scheduled as well. It would be nice to also be able to see what future reservations are scheduled for that unit, in the event we need to see which unit is available for an extended stay booking far out on the calendar.

  20. At the moment, when you need to allocate the rooms for the arrivals of the day, the display bar shows you ALL the rooms, even those that are out of service, occupied, or reserved. Which doesn't make any sense because there is way too much scrolling up and down to find a "vacant inspected room"
