What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Standard Service fee is calculated as 0.75% of Gross Room Revenues (GR/GRR) per month. However, there is a minimum monthly fee of $645. This means that even if 0.75% of the franchisee's monthly GR/GRR is less than $645, the franchisee must still pay the minimum fee of $645 for the Standard Service.
This fee structure has important implications for prospective franchisees. During periods of low occupancy or lower room rates, the minimum fee could represent a significant percentage of the franchisee's revenue. Franchisees need to carefully project their potential revenues and occupancies to understand the potential impact of this minimum fee on their profitability.
Additionally, the FDD states that Baymont Inn Suites franchisees achieving greater than 70% occupancy for 12 consecutive months must participate in Premium Service rather than Standard Service. This means that a franchisee's monthly fees could increase if their facility performs well and exceeds the occupancy threshold.
Prospective franchisees should consider these factors when evaluating the financial feasibility of a Baymont Inn Suites franchise and discuss any concerns with existing franchisees or the franchisor.
