Under what condition is the RevIQ Premium service available to Baymont Inn Suites franchisees?

According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the RevIQ Premium service is not immediately available to new franchisees. The FDD stipulates that a franchisee can only access the RevIQ Premium service after participating in the RevIQ Standard service for a minimum of three months.

This prerequisite ensures that franchisees first gain experience with the standard revenue management system before advancing to the premium version, which offers more advanced features. Baymont Inn Suites also retains the right to assess a franchisee's facility and its performance to determine the appropriate service level. This evaluation likely considers factors such as occupancy rates, revenue generation, and overall operational efficiency to ensure that the franchisee can effectively utilize the premium service.

This condition implies that Baymont Inn Suites wants to ensure franchisees are ready to leverage the advanced capabilities of RevIQ Premium, potentially maximizing their return on investment and improving overall revenue management. It also allows Baymont Inn Suites to maintain a level of quality control and ensure that franchisees are using the system effectively. Franchisees should inquire about the specific criteria used to evaluate a facility's performance and what steps can be taken to meet the requirements for RevIQ Premium service.

Prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisees should factor this waiting period into their initial business plans and budgets. While the RevIQ Premium service offers enhanced features like optimized overbooking and user-defined room classes, franchisees will need to rely on the RevIQ Standard service for the first three months. Understanding the performance metrics that Baymont Inn Suites uses to assess facilities will be crucial for franchisees aiming to upgrade to the premium service as quickly as possible.
