Add a restriction to require minimum 2 night bookings if arrival date is more than 30 days away?

Hi Mews Community.  Does anyone know how I can create restrictions in MEWS to accomplish the following:If the date of arrival is more than 30 days away, a booking needs to have a minimum of 2 nights.  (New one night bookings are only to be allowed if arrival date is closer than 30 days from now.) (Will apply to an Exact Rate)I have tried a few things in Services > Stay > Restrictions but cannot seem to get it to work.

New bookable Service

Hello there,Some of our rooms are used as meeting rooms quite often during the week. I understood that in that case it’d be better to create a new bookable service in order to registrate these time slots. However it is not really clear to me how I’ve to set this up.Someone has some experience with this ?

Keeping track of Extra beds and baby cots

Hi all,How do you manage the tracking of your rollaway beds / baby cots at your location?We would like to find a way to associate the product with a reservation. To be noted, we only have a few of those on site and don’t always charge for their placement. Furthermore, the product report does not show which reservations have the product charged anyways.How do you keep track with how many beds are already confirmed or placed into the rooms with Mews? At this time we are using an excel sheet. Creating the bookable service seem to confusing and not mistake-proof..Thanks for your tips on that!

Extra bed pricing per room type

Hi,I’d like your advice on the following dilemma.We have 2 apartments, which we offer as apartments for 2 people. Each apartment has two extra bedrooms, which we open up for 3+ or 5+ guests (using extra beds function). As apartment 2 has larger extra bedrooms than the apartment 1, we would like to use different prices per extra bed (€55 per extra bed in apartment 1 and €75 per extra bed in apartment 2).As far as I can see, it is not possible to specify extra bed price per room type (or override the extra bed price per room type).Has anybody else had this issue, and if so how did you solve it?I’m thinking along the following lines:I suppose I could add a new tariff group for each apartment with it’s own tariff (based on the standard tariff), and set the extra bed price in each tariff. But that I suppose would require restrictions (to make each apartment only available to it’s dedicated tariff).As these apartments will also be made available through channel managers (with linked tariffs,

Mail Templates champion needed

Alright, who is a champion on the Mail Templates?Essentially, I assume (and we all know how good that is) that if I see a mail template, in the list, it is being sent out. There is no way to draft as I do not see a on/off switch, is that the case?As well, I see something on the list, buuuuuut I know it isn't being sent out. What’s the deal with that?Finally, can we create new ones or only work with the list that is there?Luv,Dan

Rate Management Double or Single Occupancy

Hi everyone, i was wondering how you set up your rate management.We load the rate for double occupany and insert in adjusments -15 for a negative occupancy. Because of that we are not able to work with child prices. Has anyone else this problem? We are now thinking about to change the rate managment to single occupany. But is it then possible to book for 3 persons? Thank you!Nina

Outsourced facilities in the property

Hi guys, I would like to have your feedback on the following scenario: The property has a third-party supplier who rents out the kitchen.They sell meals to guests and locals.The hotel has a bar which is handled by the property. When guests take a meal from a supplier, they charge this in Mews on a room.At the end of the month, they pay the taken amounts back to the supplier.The same with Lightspeed, they book the meal in LS and take the payment on behalf of the supplier. This means they book revenue that is not actually theirs and payout 100%.They don’t wish to have separate terminals as the guest would need to pay for the food to the supplier and for the drinks to the hotel. IMHO this is a standard to have outsourced facilities and manage the accounting accordingly and the accountant should be able to deal with that easily, but as per them it is not the way they wish to handle that...any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
