What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, CRISP Services are defined as Rate and Inventory Consulting Services. These services are further detailed in Section 2.4 and Attachment 2.4 of the Oracle Products and/or Services agreement, which Baymont Inn Suites may update or supplement over time.

CRISP Services involve the franchisor consulting with the facility representative to streamline rate and room type structures. This includes verifying that all required rate plans are correctly loaded in the SaaS solution, ensuring local rates are available for sale in the distribution channels selected by the facility, confirming that all brand standard rate plans are available, and verifying that all hotel-specific data is accurate and up to date across all systems. The services also cover reviewing inventory and rate visibility and consistency across all distribution channels.

Under the terms of CRISP Services, the franchisee agrees to establish the best available rate (BAR), while retaining ultimate control over rate audit decisions. The franchisee authorizes Baymont Inn Suites to adjust the facility's rates, inventory, and restrictions to comply with required policies and practices, though Baymont Inn Suites cannot change the BAR without the franchisee's authorization. The franchisee can modify or reverse any changes made by Baymont Inn Suites, provided such changes align with the required policies and practices. The franchisee's general manager is typically the primary representative for rate audit decisions, unless another representative is designated in writing.

Any information provided by Baymont Inn Suites in connection with CRISP Services, such as know-how, algorithms, data, and software, is considered confidential information and is subject to the confidentiality provisions outlined in the Franchise Agreement. This means the franchisee must protect this information from disclosure, copying, or unauthorized use.
