What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees using the OPERA Cloud-based PMS may incur costs for optional interfaces. The cost for these interfaces ranges from $525 to $3,050. This is in addition to the $750 fee for the required interface to Baymont Inn Suites's approved automated revenue and rate management system.
These optional interfaces are part of the Property Management and Technology fees outlined in the FDD. It's important to note that these costs are specifically for franchisees using the OPERA Cloud-based PMS. Franchisees should consider these technology costs when evaluating the overall investment required to operate a Baymont Inn Suites franchise.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Baymont Inn Suites which specific interfaces are included, which are optional, and the functionality each provides. Understanding the role of each interface can help franchisees make informed decisions about which options are necessary for their business needs. It would also be prudent to inquire whether these costs are subject to change and how frequently they are updated.
