What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the BestREV program has a monthly fee of $175 for licensing, support, and maintenance, in addition to a cost recovery set-up fee. This fee is payable monthly upon statement receipt. BestREV is a demand forecasting and rate optimization software subscription program.
For a prospective Bw Premier Collection franchisee, this means that if they choose to use the BestREV program, they will incur a recurring monthly expense of $175. This cost should be factored into their operating budget. The FDD specifies that this fee covers the licensing, support, and maintenance of the software.
It is important to note that the $175 monthly fee does not include the initial cost recovery set-up fee, which is a separate, one-time charge. Franchisees should clarify the amount of this set-up fee with Bw Premier Collection to accurately assess the total cost of using the BestREV program. The FDD also indicates that Bw Premier Collection may revise fees, charges, and credits.
