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. Currently, if a reservation is for multiple rooms, the cancellation policy remains the same as that of the rate group for which they were booked. It would be better, and easier to mitigate the risk of losing of a multi-room reservation, if there was an option of another cancellation policy being available once a minimum number of rooms have been reserved. This would allow us to change the cancellation period, meaning that they have to provide us with more notice of cancellation.

  2. On the dashboard of a guest, we cannot see in one eyesight the previous room number, we have to click on details, or open every past bill.
    It will be usefull to have this information on the screen where all past bookings are displayed, especially if it's a returning guest with a lot of previous stays

  3. "imprimer une page par réservation" ==> Apercu des réservations:
    1er: pouvoir faire extraction sans passer par "rapport de réservation"
    2e: imprimer les informations de CHAQUE réservation depuis la page "Aperçu des réservations". Actuellement SEULE la fiche d'enregistrement est possible. (Nous sommes une thalasso et nous avons besoin des informations supplémentaires à porter de main)

  4. Section to enter arrival date and then number of nights for long stays. Instead of working out what 31 nights would be for example and using the calendar. This would then display a list of rooms availble for the number of nights entered.

  8. while changing the room type from the property tab under the reservation for the same day reservation or for the future it is hard to change to room type without knowing if the other room type is available on that day or not so while making those changes the mews can show the room type in red if the front desk in moving the reservation to already booked room type.

  9. Ich möchte, dass man über die Funktion "House Use" mehrere Zimmer in einem Schlag wählen kann. Somit könnte man zum Beispiel vielen Zimmer vor Ankunft einer Gruppe am Vorabend blockieren (es ist nur eine Beispiel)

  10. It is sometimes necessary to block more than one room out of order (an entire floor or entire building in the event of large scale refurbishment work, for example) and it would be helpful to be able to place multiple rooms 'out of order' at once if they all should be blocked for the same dates and same reason.

  12. In the availability report, the colomn on the left with the roomtypes, should always show the total number of rooms that you have of this roomtype.
    Indepent if a room is OOO or not. Rooms OOO should be treathed as occupied, ie. only affecting the availability per day in the rest of the columns.

  13. If we make an optional reservation for our guests and send them our offer. The guests confirm the reservations through the link but the responsible employee/department do not get any information or notification, so it is problematic to keep track of these bookings. It would be great to get atleast a pop up notification if the guests confirm there reservations. This information is essential for internal planning for almost every property.

  14. Currently we can 'Create a Key' for a reservation that isn't inhouse. I suggest this button isn't available for team members to click until the guest is in house. There is a 'Check in and Create Key' button which can be used initially, then once the guest is in house the 'Create a Key' button can be available to click. This will prevent guests being issued a key without being checked in accidentally.

  15. When help is needed in the operation with stripping rooms, the ability to print a VD list, or VC, VI, OOO, & OOS.
    This is basic hotel 101 operation when many employees are involved.

    Ex: houseperson going to take trash from VD rooms, Operations manager going to strip rooms of dirty linens. We all want to be on the same page and not be confused of who went where or who didn't go into a room.

  16. When a guest arrives and the room is not ready, it would be good to place the reservation into a Queue that would notify Housekeeping to prioritize this guest room cleaning. This might be an added icon that would put the reservation on top of the normal reservation cards on the arrival screen. The automation part would be to notify housekeeping that a reservation has been put into the queue and waiting.

  17. It would be great to be able to choose consumption date and time when setting product rules - For example If the product should be added on arrival date or in the night.

    When you have a package that includes dinner at the arrival date it's not optimal to have the consumption date, by defualt set as the day after if the product is added through a product rule.

    As it is now this affects the product reports in a negative way.

    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

  20. Sometimes a guest messages us on the MEWS platform, and then calls and we are able to answer their enquiry over the phone.
    I would then like to be able to mark their message as completed without the guest having to see. This way the next person on front desk will not come along and think that the enquiry still needs to be answered.
