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. I would like to have the opportunity to configure profile fields as mandatory or optional. For example, for us it is very important to ensure that all guests that check-in have a valid, non-OTA e-mail address.

    E-mail address is currently an optional field. we would like to have the ability to make it mandatory.

  2. To enable bill formatting when multiple items are included, with subtotals displayed for each revenue category (e.g. room charges, food and beverage, venue items, etc.).

  3. Problem
    It is currently not possible to add tasks to group or block reservations. In addition, tasks in general are not searchable, which makes it very difficult to track what has been done or what is still pending — especially for group bookings.

    Operational impact
    For group bookings, we need to manage important milestones such as:

    Name list deadlines

    Booking cut-off dates

    Client follow-ups

    Today, these tasks cannot be linked to the block itself, and since tasks are not searchable, it is almost impossible to get an overview of tasks related to a specific group or block. This leads to…

  4. We work with a high number of AVAILABILITY BLOCKS (corporate Groups, Weddings, Event, etc.)

    Each AVAILABILITY BLOCKS is then booked through a SELFBOOKING ENGINE by the guests.

    We have a high number of CUSTOMIZED PRODUCTS for each EVENT, to be selfbooked by the guests of a certain AVAILABILITY BLOCK.

    We need a simple DROPDOWN to add Custom Bookable Products to each AVAILABILITY BLOCK and/or each SELFBOOKING ENGINE.

    We assume this is a rather undercomplex feature programming-wise.

    Thank you very much!

  5. In Reservation overview if you want to look another date, you must click DATE, then SEE REPORT.
    Just adding 2 ARROW´S BUTONS would be such a good improvment to navigate forward or backwards. Faster search, less clicks, no choosing dates. Simple
    --> Tomorrow Overview
    <-- Yesterday Overview

  6. Minimum Stay Through Restrictions should be supported in Mews. Currently, minimum stay restrictions are applied as Minimum Stay on Arrival. So, a 3-night minimum stay on a Saturday night would allow someone to book for 2-nights if staying Friday & Saturday. Minimum Stay Through restrictions should be an option (especially since Mews RMS Atomize has this option, as do most channel manager marketplace integrations).

  7. It would be great to have a list of all pro formas that have been sent, because now they cannot be found anymore once it is sent.
    For example, an extra selection under 'bills and invoices'.

  8. Problem Statement

    Currently, Mews allows users to search and report on reservations using the Voucher Name. However, a single voucher name can be associated with multiple voucher codes throughout a season or campaign. While the voucher name is available in reservation reporting, the specific voucher code used to redeem the reservation is not visible on the reservation or in standard reservation reports.

    This makes it difficult for properties to accurately track voucher redemption performance and analyze the usage of individual voucher campaigns.

    Requested Enhancement

    Add the redeemed Voucher Code as a field that:

    • Is visible on the reservation details.
    • Can…

  9. Would like to recieve an email or task or notification (or a choice of notification) when a guest cancels their accommodation booking.
    This is so we can reach out and confirm as well as ask why(for tracking purposes) as well as refund their deposit, rather that the guest having to reach out to us first (for guest experience)

  10. After the recent update, the Reservation page feels more cluttered when displaying restricted rates. Previously, only the text “Restricted” was shown, which made it clear and easy to distinguish these rates.

    Now that both the price and the “Restricted” label are displayed, it’s less clear. We would prefer the previous layout, as it was cleaner and easier to work with.

  11. Graag weer een e-mail of melding laten versturen aan gebruikers/hotelreceptie wanneer een reservering geannuleerd is. Gasten kunnen nu zelf reserveringen annuleren, maar we krijgen er geen melding van. Waardoor extra geboekte zaken (zoals tafelreservering, massages etc.) niet bekend zijn dat deze ook geannuleerd moeten worden. Dank!

  12. When we have only very few rooms left, we end op very often with overbookings as Expedia and Booking will send reservations at the same time and leaves us with a headache, esp for last minute bookings. On top of that I do not want my last rooms to be sold to OTA's where I can shift them directly and make more profit. A restriction to OTA channels that they will not be able to sell us once we reach let's say 95% occupancy would be very helpful. Or to enable the hotel to block OTA channels individually to minimize…

  13. Current design of the Mews Invoice is restrictive and brings up repetitive information. Allow customizable HTML code or an integration that allows users to have different design of the invoice for individual guest or groups by using the Mews API to pull the relevant information required

  14. The system displayed a generic error message:

    "Oops, something went wrong."

    The message suggested a system or application failure, even though the underlying issue was not a platform error.

    Impact
    - Users are unable to determine the actual reason for the failure.
    - The generic message leads users to believe there is a platform issue, resulting in unnecessary troubleshooting efforts.
    - Additional support interactions may be required to identify what is actually a permissions-related issue.
    - Creates confusion and reduces confidence in the product experience.

  15. Bitte fügt als zusätzlichen Stornierungsgrund "Krankheit" hinzu. Dies ist der meist genannte Grund für eine Stornierung. Wenn ich "Sonstiges" auswähle und dann als Detail "Krankheit" eingebe, wird auf der Rechnung mit den Stornogebühren als Grund "Sonstiges" angezeigt. Wenn der Gast diese Rechnung seiner Versicherung einreicht für die Rückerstattung, ist diese Formulierung sehr unglücklich, dort müsste zwingend "Krankheit" stehen. Covid-19 als Grund könnt ihr gerne entfernen, diesen Grund brauchen wir zum Glück schon länger nicht mehr.

  16. Problem:
    When restaurant staff split a table bill across covers, our POS sends the full order state to Mews as signed line items — the original sale as positives, then negatives for every item reallocated to the other covers. The connector passes these through unaltered to preserve line-by-line reconciliation with the POS fiscal log.

    The result is that one guest's folio receives the entire table's order and then credits removing everyone else's food. A recent two-item POS receipt arrived in Mews as 19 bill lines: charges, then credits, netting to the correct amount. Wine, mains and sides belonging to other…

  17. Une facture proforma ne devrait pas mentionner le numéro de la chambre/appartement. En effet, ce document est souvent émis au moment de la réservation mais l'affectation de la chambre peut changer avant l'arrivée du client et certains (notamment des habitués) ne comprennent pas pourquoi la chambre finalement attribuée est différente de celle mentionnée sur la proforma.

  18. Problem:
    The company field in the guest profile is very useful, especially because the selected company is saved to the guest profile and can automatically be suggested when creating an invoice.

    However, the current company search becomes very difficult to use when a large company has many different locations and addresses.

    For example, Carl Zeiss has numerous locations and therefore many different company entries in Mews. Searching only for "Carl Zeiss" results in a very long and confusing list. We therefore spend a significant amount of time finding the correct company/address.

    Adding additional keywords can sometimes improve the results, but…

  19. We want the default times for internal use of the accommodations to be set to the same times as our check-in and check-out times:

    Currently, the accommodation blocks for internal use are set from 12:00 to 12:00.

  20. The reservation form needs a prompt to allow the guest to indicate their desired arrival time. As a small property, managing our staff is very important. If a guest isn't arriving until 11pm, we need to know that ahead of time. There should be a mechanism displaying the default arrival time and allowing the guest the option to adjust it. Having a guest arrive at 3pm versus 9pm makes a big difference for staffing and housekeeping.
