What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the amount presented for systems and equipment includes costs associated with guest room and public area high-speed internet access, a PBX/telephone system (including consoles and guest room and administrative telephones), and a television system. The low end of the range assumes the franchisee will procure all of the above and purchase the base system equipment. The high end of the range assumes the franchisee will procure all of the above and acquire top-of-the-line equipment to operate the PMS (Property Management System).
Baymont Inn Suites requires franchisees to purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire a computerized hospitality property management system/computer (PMS) that has been designated by them. The low end of the range presumes that the franchisee will select a base SynXis PMS for the Facility, while the high end of the range presumes that the franchisee will purchase the Premium OPERA Cloud system. The range includes remote installation, but does not include additional interface fees which may be required based on optional interfaces utilized at the Facility.
For prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisees, this means that the initial investment for systems and equipment can vary significantly depending on the type and quality of equipment chosen. It is important to consider the long-term needs and budget when making these decisions, as upgrading systems later can be more costly. Franchisees should also inquire about any potential interface fees that are not included in the estimated range to get a more accurate picture of the total investment required.
