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 greatly appreciate Mews Timeline. However, we are repeatedly making mistakes in recognizing what the arrival dates of reservations are. The confusion is that Monday Bookings are aligned under the word “Tuesday”, Tuesday’s under "Wednesday", and Wednesday’s bookings under "Thursday", etc. (it's left aligned)

    A simple fix for this would be to provide an option for us to select “Right Align” for the whole of the “DAY” row. This option would be very much appreciated.

    Many thanks for your consideration!

  2. Routing rule with the following options:

    • The company is responsible and the booker is automatically linked. For groups it would be helpful that all the chosen costs will automatically routed to the same bill. It's not nice that a separate invoice is created for each guest of a group.

    We use this for our invoices with reimbursement of costs. Because the companies want to have a Person who is in charge for the cost and to release the invoice for payment.

  3. The Check-out Report is currently showing the open balance for all the Guest Stays. But the Check-out Report just need to display the current Stay. So if we are linking payment to reservations this can easy fixed.

  4. When a guest has paid, an email with the receipt should be automatically created and sent if the profile has an email attached.

    This would save some clicks and also save the environment by not printing (you can just say - the receipt is already sent to you by email :))

  5. (1) Enable notifications specific to products purchased/booked by guests or added by staff to a bill (not just from the OCI flow, but from any time the product is sold).

    (2) Enable a feature that can filter reservations by Products purchased/booked.

  6. When generating the reservation report using the parameters in the drop-down lists, why can't we tick several items (like it's possible for the segments), but for all ? e.g. room categories or rates or nationalities or countries etc ?

  7. Creating a button where you can easily mark if a group can be invoiced on 1 bill - or if the rooms in the group will pay all separately. Right now all items of all bills have to be moved individually to 1 main bill. Having a button to make these changes with 1 click would save a lot of time!

  8. Guest book a room online for 2 adults in a room where we can accommodate 2 adults maximum. But the guest check in with a baby. And we want to adjust the occupancy of the room to 2 Adults and 1 Baby. This is needed for the security of the guest in case of e.g. a fire. It is essential that we know how many people are in the hotel and how many are in a certain room. If we change the maximum occupancy to 3 this would mean guest can book the room for 3 adults. Only we do…

  9. Hello!

    There's a feature in the billing window, to rename the bill, which is very useful. We generally take notes such as voucher numbers to report in the notes of the document to close.
    This feature though, is not available for the main bill, but only for additional bills you create.
    This is kind of a nuissance because you have to move the items to a new bill in order to be able to rename the bill and set all the notes you need.
    It would be great if also the main bill could be renamed.

    Thank you for your…

  10. We often change how a promotional rate is priced, sometimes off BAR, then we might change it to equal AAA, or some other rate from our RMS. Currently if I want to change the base rate being used, I have to delete the entire rate plan and rebuild a new one.

  12. Earlier we were able to see the invoice on the profile with the notification of closed and sent. This now has been moved the report. We do benefit to see on the profile as this can result in sending the invoice again if the Reception are not confident whilst processing the check out procedures. Going to the report is an option but will be time consuming. Having a report is beneficial for management to track and trace on daily folio sending

  13. Dear Mews Development Team,

    Our Housekeeping team had a request/idea for the mobile application.

    At the moment they have to refresh the application and look frequently whether a room has left.

    Would it be possible to integrate a notification or pop up in the application that notifies them when the reception does a check out?

    Thank you for your help.

    Kind regards,
    M. Bence NAGY

  14. We need the OPTION to pre-allocate rooms in an availability block. By the time we receive some rooming lists and pick-up the beds, other guests have already extended in a room and then ruined exclusivity in a section/floor; or if you sell beds in a hostel, the extensions have led to the availability block guests being split up over multiple different rooms.

  15. Pour nos établissements dont la taxe de séjour est paramétrées en produit.

    Lorsque nous déclarons nos taxes de séjour à la ville, nous devons également déclarer les personnes qui en sont exonérées (pour la France cela comprend les mineurs, les hébergements d'urgence, les travailleurs saisonniers, les habitants de la même ville, ect).

    Nous souhaiterions une option "exonération de taxe de séjour" au niveau de la facturation du séjour et que ces clients apparaissent dans un rapport.
    Ceci nous éviterait de devoir tenir un tableur excel alors que nous avons un PMS.

  16. Guests occasionally have a reservation under one booking, followed by another reservation under a different booking number (e.g if they've decided to add another night or have been staying for work and adding another day as a personal expense). Under the current system they need to check out and get their cards recut which isn't a great customer experience, we need to manually allocate the same room for both stays, inform Housekeeping not to clear the room and if they haven't paid in advance, we need to pay extra attention to their billing as it's split over multiple bookings.

  17. Could we have the possibility of coloring certain dates of the Mews calendar / planning of the establishment in order to reference the important dates of the year (events, holidays, vacations...). With, if possible, the possibility of adding a text when you pass the cursor over the date in question.

    For example :
    - Put the date of July 14 in green with the text "Holiday: French National Day"
    - Put in red January 10 with the text "congress".

  18. The ability to add ages for our Family room reservations. Our family rooms accommodate 3 adults or 2adlt and max. 2 children up to 11
    As this feature is not available we have set up the room occupancy for 3 persons; either 3 adults or 2 adults and 1 child so we currently lose bookings from families with 2 adults and 2 children. If we allow a room occupancy of 4 persons we start receiving bookings with 4 adults and our sofa bed is not equipped to take the weight of 2 adults

  19. Modify user permission (Charge Cards online) - It would be good to have our Reception team be able to take payments but not process refunds. This should be done by Management only.

  20. I would be nice to have a 'select all' open bills button or checkmark where we can more easily manage all items / open bills on company bills that have a large number of open bills due to payment routing.

    This will be resolved through additional routing rules options that will enable the user to specify which bill the routed items are sent to (i.e. individual bills or combined bill)
