If an Atwell Suites Hotel is currently subscribing to RevenueStrategy360, what happens to the competitive rate insight shopping costs?

According to Atwell Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, hotels may incur costs between $30 and $120 per month for competitive rate insight shopping. However, for Atwell Suites hotels already subscribed to RevenueStrategy360, these costs may be waived. This waiver can provide a cost-saving benefit to franchisees who are utilizing RevenueStrategy360.

Revenue management systems, like the one mentioned, analyze hotel historical data, future bookings, and other data sources to forecast future business for the hotel over a 50-52 week period. These systems help hotels determine optimal daily prices and manage inventory by integrating demand forecasts, publicly available competitive rates, and price sensitivity data. The systems are integrated into the sales process from GRS or PMS and all direct (CRO, Brand Website) and indirect channels (such as GDS or online travel agencies (OTA)).

For a prospective Atwell Suites franchisee, understanding the conditions under which these competitive rate insight shopping costs are waived is important for budgeting and financial planning. It would be prudent to confirm with Atwell Suites the specific criteria and process for obtaining this waiver to ensure eligibility and to accurately project operating expenses.
