What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Premium Service fee is structured as 1.00% of Gross Revenue/Gross Room Revenue (GR/GRR) with a minimum of $1,450 and a maximum of $2,450 per month. However, there's an exception: facilities with an annual GR/GRR of $3,000,000 or more pay a flat rate of $3,500 per month. There is also a Premium Plus Service for $5,245 per month.
For a prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisee, this means the monthly Premium Service fee will vary depending on the facility's revenue. If the facility generates less than $3,000,000 in annual GR/GRR, the fee will be 1.00% of the monthly GR/GRR, but capped at $2,450. If the facility exceeds $3,000,000 in annual GR/GRR, the monthly fee jumps to a flat $3,500. The Premium Plus Service has a flat monthly fee of $5,245.
It's important to note that facilities achieving greater than 70% occupancy for 12 consecutive months must participate in Premium Service rather than Standard Service. This could impact a franchisee's operating costs if their facility performs well and is required to switch to the more expensive Premium Service. Franchisees should factor these potential service fees and occupancy requirements into their financial projections and business plans.
