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. Summary of the Issue

    During check-out, we frequently face the problem that POS receipts (e.g. from MEWS POS or other integrations) cannot be properly split across multiple rooms or guest invoices.
    This is because identical POS items are automatically merged into a single billing item (e.g. multiple grape juices combined into one position).

    Once merged, this item cannot be split afterwards and can therefore only be settled on one invoice.
    The only workaround is to manually calculate and allocate amounts across different payment methods, which is time-consuming and error-prone.

    In contrast, bookable services (e.g. breakfast) are handled as individual, divisible…

  2. We would like to suggest an important improvement regarding group reporting and forecast accuracy.

    Currently, Mews only considers picked-up (confirmed) reservations within groups when calculating revenue and ADR. However, blocked rooms that are not yet picked up are completely excluded from revenue and ADR calculations, even though they are included in occupancy.

    This creates a significant discrepancy in forecasting and reporting.

    Example:
    A group is booked for a future date with 20 rooms blocked at an ADR of $200
    No rooms are picked up yet
    One individual reservation exists at an ADR of $250

    In this scenario:
    Occupancy correctly reflects…

  3. Bonjour,
    Il serait pratique d'avoir des colonnes de plus avec le nombre de chambres bloquées et réservées quand on sort une liste des blocs (groupes). Cela permettrait d'avoir l'information rapidement. Nous n'aurions plus besoin de consulter individuellement chaque bloc, chaque groupe pour obtenir cette information. Merci.

  4. Be able to quickly and easily export all invoices (in PDF format) for a specific period (day, week, month) with a single click.
    Currently, you have to click on each invoice, print it, and save it as a PDF.
    An individual PDF export for the desired period would make this task much easier.

  5. Hi Mews team!

    We would like to request a minor adjustment to the color coding on our reservation timeline to improve our daily workflow and reduce manual errors.

    The Issue:
    Currently, both "Check-out Today" and "Check-in Today" use a very similar shade of blue. When the booking department and reception team is assisting guests with stay extensions or late check-out requests, it is difficult to distinguish between a guest who is due to depart today and the guest who is to arrive when looking at the same room to checkin and out of. This occasionally leads to mistakes when selecting…

  9. Dear MEWS Team,

    I would like to share a suggestion regarding the Timeline view, which has a huge yet unexpressed potential.

    While visually clean, it does not leverage one of the most powerful tools for operational efficiency: colour-coding.

    Color can instantly convey information that, otherwise, requires opening each booking or navigating multiple sections. Introducing colour indicators directly on the Timeline could transform it into a true operational dashboard, providing immediate, high-impact insights for the front office and reservations teams.

    Here are some examples of what colour-coding could highlight:
    • Payment Status (e.g., prepaid, pending, partially paid, failed)
    • Booking Source…

  10. Expand the "Responsibility" section so it can also function as a restriction layer, not only a notification feature.

    Current:
    **Offer to Employee = All employees have access and visibility into the service, which they can sell/post. It does not offer "exceptions".

    **The responsibility section in the service is mainly for Notifications or Tasks.

    Desired behavior:

    Add a configuration option in Service Settings:
    “Restrict service management to the responsible department/user only.”

    When enabled:

    Only staff or user groups assigned as Responsible can:
    Sell the service
    Modify service orders
    Manage related items/products

    Non‑responsible staff:
    Can view the service (configurable), but
    Cannot sell…

  11. Clients would benefit from the ability to assign or customize counters at the service level rather than just at the property level. Today’s setup only allows counters to be selected from a property‑wide dropdown, which introduces avoidable human error and operational inefficiencies.

    Problem

    • Counters are defined at the property level, meaning all services pull from the same shared list.
    • Staff must manually choose the correct counter from a dropdown when posting charges.
    • This manual selection is error‑prone, especially for properties with many outlets, departments, or revenue streams.
    • Incorrect counter selection leads to downstream reporting and accounting discrepancies that…

  12. We have quite some festivals in our area. To reduce the risk on parties in our hotel, I want to reduce the maximum room capacity to 2 guests for rooms which usually could host upto 5 persons.
    In my previous PMS we had rate plans per occupancy which we could close down.
    Can you create a restriction for this? Or in de occupancy report?

  14. When you dowload an excel rooming list from a group reservation, all reservations are shown in a random order on the excel sheet, and this is not possible to change! Preferably I would like to at least have the reservations sorted by arrival date, but that is not the case right now. It would be good if the default sorting was the arrival date. Or it would be even better if you could change the sorting yourself however you like, but right now since the excel sheet is locked it is not possible. Please look into this.

  15. Summary

    Provide hotels with a controlled way to correct closed bill items that were accidentally posted with a future consumption date, even though the item was actually consumed in the past and already charged on a guest bill.

    Problem

    In the “Add Product [+]” workflow, users occasionally select an incorrect future consumption date by mistake. When this happens:

    • The item is still closed on the bill at the correct amount and date of posting.
    • However, the consumption date remains in the future.
    • As a result, the item continues to appear on the Guest Ledger until that incorrect date becomes…

  16. I’m missing a proper script for check-in at the reception, which would make the process more structured and consistent, while ensuring that important steps are not overlooked.

    I imagine a button such as “Auto Check-In”, which would clearly guide the staff through the following steps:

    Settle or verify the guest folio if not already done

    Check and acknowledge the guest’s loyalty membership status, or invite them to join the program

    Offer upselling or room upgrades

    Generate the key

    Confirm check-in completion

    As I see it, this would ensure that all critical steps are followed and that the process is handled…

  17. Hello,

    We would like to be able to add a ''buffer period'' or preparation time between rentals, especially for hourly rentals.

    For example, if a guests rents a bike from 9 to 10am, and my buffer is 1 hour, then it will only be available to rent again from 11 am.

    This will prevent guest overlap if they are a few minutes early or late.

  18. Ons hoofdkantoor heeft besloten om een korting te gaan toepassen op een volledig samengesteld tarief – het skiteam tarief.
    De korting is 5% of 10% maar moet dan evenredig van het totaalbedrag afgetrokken worden, met bijbehorende BTW-tarieven.

    Als ik nu de korting handmatig bereken en onder het kopje logies afboek, dan heeft dit effect op onze ADR en logies-omzet, hoewel er ook een korting van F&B af moet. Graag zou ik naast een samengesteld tarief ook een samengestelde korting willen kunnen toepassen op een boeking.

  19. For example, when selecting a start date that is one year ahead, the end date should automatically jump to the same date (or at least the same year) as the selected start date. From there, the user could easily adjust the end date forward if needed.

    Currently, when choosing a start date far in the future, the end date calendar does not follow automatically. The user has to manually navigate one year forward again in the end date field, which makes the process slower and less user-friendly.

    An automatic synchronization of the end date with the selected start date would…

  20. Two customer scenarios highlight gaps in the current product setup:

    Per-person products/fees (e.g., spa/massage): For spaces that accommodate multiple guests (e.g., a villa for 12), only some may use a service (e.g., 4 guests want a spa). Currently, there’s no way to select a quantity per product for partial occupancy.

    Pet fees: Customers want to charge per pet (e.g., $30 per dog) and allow multiple pets to be added. Currently, the only workaround is creating separate products for each pet count (e.g., “Pet Fee – 1 dog” $30, “Pet Fee – 2 dogs” $60), which is cumbersome.

    Request: Add flexibility…
