We’ve just upgraded our overbooking functionality to match industry standards, giving you the perfect balance between aggressive revenue capture and risk mitigation!

You can now set a single daily limit for total overbookings across the house or service level. Once that number is reached (including physical inventory and availability adjustments), the system automatically closes the hotel for that day.

The Bottom Line: You can now safely push individual room-type overbookings to the limit to drive revenue, knowing this new "safety layer" will automatically cap your total property risk and prevent costly guest relocations.

We are looking for early adopters to try this and feedback us about what works and doesn’t before a full launch later next month.

Hello!

Will this also work with channel managers? So will channel manager connections see the caped availability (and increased room type availability where set to accept overbookings)?

Hi all,

I have activated this on your DEMO properties. If you do not find it, I may have targeted the wrong one. In that case - please DM me and share which property/enterpriseID on DEMO you want it activated on

We will start production testing soon too.

Thanks

Hi ​@Nathalie Kasper 

You should be able to use this on your Demo property already ( https://app.mews-demo.com/ ). Next week we will release this in Production on Mews - and I’ll activate your hotel in the first batch :) 

 

Thanks for the excitement!


Hallo ​@saurabh.bhatia,

perfekt. Vielen Dank :-) 

Ich wünsche dir einen tollen Tag. 

Liebe Grüße, Nathalie
