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. When marking a space as Out of Order, Mews currently provides no visibility into existing reservations that overlap with the OOO period. Property staff must manually search the timeline to identify affected bookings and reassign them one by one. This is time-consuming, particularly for larger properties, and leaves room for human error. A missed reservation can result in a guest being assigned to an unavailable room at check-in.

    Proposed Solution (tiered):

    Display affected reservations. When a space is set to Out of Order, present a summary of all reservations on that space that fall within the selected OOO dates. This…

  2. Problem:
    We use Out of Order (OOO) to manage rooms that are temporarily unavailable e.g. for repairs or renovations.
    However, the default end time is set to midday, which makes it unclear when the room should be included in daily cleaning plans. In addition, the room can only be updated to “Clean” after 12:00, once the OOO period has ended.

    This creates unnecessary confusion and limits flexibility in housekeeping operations—especially for teams working on mobile devices without access to adjust OOO blocks.

    Solution:
    Allow setting a default end time for Out of Order e.g. midnight, so it is clear which…

  4. Currently, the 'manage reservation' screen for groups does not show a summary of the total cost for the group, but only shows the total of each individual reservation.

    With optional reservations, there is no bill added to the 'billing' tab yet, so there is no (easy) way to verify how much the total cost is for the group reservation. This causes difficulties especially when sending out quotes to the guest.

  5. Es ist unglaublich nervig, dass ich, wenn ich eine neue Reservierung manuell anlege, nicht sofort alle Daten wie z.B. die Adresse des Gastes oder die zugewiesene Firma eingeben kann. Warum kann man das Fenster dafür nicht erweitern?

    It's incredibly annoying that when I create a new reservation manually, I can't immediately enter all the details, such as the guest's address or the assigned company. Why can't the window be expanded for this?

  6. By default, Mews only moves the line items, but does not transfer the associated profile when items are moved within the same customer. We need to have the associated profile be copied to the new bill when moving the items

  7. We often have large groups of guests with on all rooms the same items booked. If we make a mistake, or something changes in the booking, we have to go room by room to cancel the wrong item. It would be great that if you select rooms with the same items on them, ( because you add the items to all the roms at the same time) you can also remove them all together.

  8. Currently it seems like the algorithm to recommend/decide price changes dominantly triggers for dates where a change in occupancy is detected.
    Market shifts and pricing changes in the compset are less often reflected in pricing decisions, it seems. This can easily lead to pricing oneself out of the market.
    Maybe this is a problem that small hotels are more seeing because a nominally small change in occupancy (eg. 3-4 rooms being booked for a date) are relatively large changes in occupancy (like 10-20% maybe), which probably is a strong signal for atomize to raise prices, but when at the same…

  9. Allow for multiple versions of the same parent space/room linked with different combinations of child rooms.

    For example, create Villa 1 with (101 as the parent) and 102, 103 and 104 as the children, but we also want to create Villa 1 connector (with 101 as the parent and only 102 as the connecting suite).

  11. Prevents Abuse and Overuse
    By reducing the time a single code remains active or capping its usage, we minimize the risk of widespread sharing and uncontrolled redemption.

    Protects Revenue Integrity
    The promotion remains aligned with its original budget and ROI expectations, avoiding unplanned discount leakage.

    Improves Operational Efficiency
    Automation removes the need for manual monitoring and intervention, reducing workload for staff and ensuring consistent enforcement.

    Enhances User Experience
    Clear rules and predictable expiration reduce confusion while maintaining fairness for legitimate users.

    Supports Dynamic Control
    The system can apply logic such as:

    -Maximum redemptions per code
    -Automatic generation of new codes…

  12. When working on group bookings, allow the on-screen reservations on the right-hand side to be sorted by room number or guest name and not only by display categories. Same with the exported Excel template for groups (which has no actual logic at the moment from one group to the enxt)

  13. We have basement rooms that we only use in emergencies. These rooms are normally locked throughout the year.

    Currently we have to report the rooms as clean every morning so that they do not appear in hotelkit for room cleaning.

    It would be great if OOO rooms could be excluded from the housekeeping interval.

  14. We're new to MEWS and whilst the functionality is brilliant (thank you), our front of house team really struggle with the visual appearance of the timeline. Spending lots of screen time on a screen with poor visual appearance and contrasts is not healthy and inefficient as it is difficult to see the timeline at a glance - please could you look at improving visual contrasts both colours and lines between dates/spaces for improved accessibility.

    Thank you very much

  16. Option A: Add a “Snapshot” Button

    Introduce a Print button in the Reservation Overview >> Print output mirrors the page as is.

    Similar to existing print‑enabled reports (e.g., Space Status)

    Option B: Export as PDF

    Add Export → PDF (Layout View) alongside Excel
    Preserves:

    Page UI formatting
    Column order
    Grouping
    Visual hierarchy
    Header Titles (Stayovers, Arrivals, etc...)

    📌 Either option alone would significantly improve usability; offering both is ideal but not required for initial delivery.

    Acceptance Criteria

    ✅ Layout in print/PDF matches the on‑screen Reservation Overview as a Snapshot
    ✅ Respects filters, dates, and sorting applied by the user.
    ✅…

  17. Add a Validity Period to the Voucher Redemption Additional Service Product, with the following behavior:

    Configuration

    Allow users to define:

    Valid from date
    Valid until date

    Optional toggle:
    (a) “Enforce validity on redemption” or
    (b) A Voucher Redemption Toggle that reveals a date picker.

    System Behavior

    Voucher Redemption can only be posted if:

    The Consumption date falls within the validity period

    If outside the range:

    Mews prevents posting and surfaces a clear validation message

    📌 Example error:

    “This voucher is no longer valid and cannot be redeemed.”

    Acceptance Criteria

    ✅ Validity dates are configurable at the Additional Service Product level…

  18. It would be crucial for us to have a option when creating an availability block "copy rate description and product rules from base rate".

    At the moment we have to copy and paste the rate description from the base rate for ~300 blocks/year as the availability block rate description for us is the same as the base rate description. Same applies for product rules.

    To allow for flexibility with other customers it would be great to have this as an option when creating the block.

  19. When you add a product you cannot see the bill balance. Posting a new charge or adjustment to close the bill becomes unnecessarily inefficient. I'd like to propose moving the bill balance, the add product sidebar, or displaying the bill balance in the sidebar for easier reconciliation. Just not great UI.

  20. Make company owned reservations possible.
    It will allow to manage corporate clients more effectively by associating company profiles with reservations.
    Provide a comprehensive view of all bookings associated with a corporate account. As well highly useful for hotels that offer coworking spaces, where companies own a office space.
