What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees using the OPERA Cloud-based PMS (Property Management System) must pay $750 for the required interface to the franchisor's approved automated revenue and rate management system. This fee covers remote deployment, installation, and training.
In addition to the required interface, Baymont Inn Suites franchisees have the option to purchase other interfaces ranging in cost from $525 to $3,050. The FDD does not specify what these optional interfaces are for, but they may provide additional functionality or integrations with other systems.
It is important for prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisees to consider these technology costs when evaluating the overall investment. The initial $750 fee is mandatory for those using the OPERA Cloud-based PMS, and the optional interfaces could add a significant expense depending on the franchisee's needs. Franchisees should inquire about the specific features and benefits of each optional interface to determine which ones are necessary for their business.
